also "we are never ever getting back together" has 'made chart history' by breaking the record for longest run at #1 on country songs

"Gangnam Style" is now 17th on the Billboard Latin Airplay chart
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 05:09 (twelve years ago)
yeah sometimes somewhat unexpected songs do pretty well on latin (adele and lmfao placed a number of singles on it recently)

one thing i love is that practically EVERY current country act's wiki page (besides Taylor's) now has Country Airplay added to its chart info to reflect the popularity of recent singles -- it's a shame fans of other genres whose charts got screwed with aren't as fired up about this as country fans.

"Thrift Shop" being in the top ten of the r&b chart is even more ridiculous than the "Diamonds" thing
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 12:43 (twelve years ago)
It should be noted that after 13 weeks at the top of the roost, "Adorn" is the "greatest gainer" in r&b airplay.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 12:45 (twelve years ago)
it's also #10 on Radio Songs, which is easily the highest any R&B song has gotten w/o pop crossover all year ("Climax" got no higher than #16), so the extent of its playlist saturation is staggering.

billboard's year-end charts are out:

as i'd hoped, they used the old methodology (pre-October changes) for the year-end genre charts:

"Diamonds" obviously nowhere on the year-end R&B list

damn "love on top" was that big of a hit, huh
― salute me or crut me (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 15 December 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago)
"lotus flower bomb" was the third biggest hit of THIS YEAR?
― salute me or crut me (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 15 December 2012 18:36 (twelve years ago)
There was like a six- to eight-month period where I would turn on the radio and hear "Lotus Flower Bomb" within the first three songs.
I try not to speak of those days.
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 15 December 2012 18:48 (twelve years ago)
"Party" actually got airplay down here than LOT.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 15 December 2012 20:08 (twelve years ago)
yeah "Lotus Flower Bomb" was pretty gigantic, and gotta remember these things go December to November, so things that broke wide late the previous year have an advantage (i'm betting in decade-end lists "Adorn" will triumph over "Lotus" easily)
― some dude, Saturday, 15 December 2012 21:10 (twelve years ago)

In 2002, there was a 48-song overlap, exactly 3x as many.
― The Reverend, Saturday, 15 December 2012 23:24 (twelve years ago)
9-song overlap with eoy Rock chart (way up from i think 3 last year), and 14-song overlap with country

Songs with most weeks at number one on Billboard's R&B chart:
18. "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie - Louis Jordan15. "Be Without You" - Mary J. Blige14. "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" - Deborah Cox14. "We Belong Together" - Mariah Carey14. "Blame It" - Jamie Foxx Feat. T-Pain14. "Pretty Wings" - Maxwell13. "Can't Be Friends" - Trey Songz12. "Diamonds " - Rihanna12. "Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready)" - Alicia Keys12. "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" - Beyoncé11. "Climax" - Usher
if the chart hadn't been changed in October, Miguel's "Adorn" would be on its 16th week at #1 (as it stands it only had 4 weeks). I'm pretty sure Rihanna will be dethroned in the next week or two...by Macklemore.

I know this should have its own thread but man these changes have turned the rock chart into a dire melange of Of Lumineers And Mumfords

― Sri Harold Klemp (crüt), Sunday, 30 December 2012 20:56 (twelve years ago)
tbf the rock airplay charts are also a dire melange of Lumumfordeers, it's the Ed Sheerans and Phillip Phillipses that the download-dominated charts are bringing in

has "thrift shop" entered the r&b/hip-hop airplay chart? the billboard website seems to suggest not. it would be kind of funny/sad if it topped the overall chart w/o reaching the airplay chart at all
― teledyldonix, Friday, 4 January 2013 07:03 (twelve years ago)
yeah, only airplay charts it's been on are rock, alternative and pop
it's funny because "Gangnam Style" is STILL at the top of the Rap Songs chart, but for some reason that was never allowed on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where "Thrift Shop" is despite having pretty similar airplay demographics. the top 3 on Rap Songs is all stuff that has zero urban radio airplay (PSY/Macklemore/Flo Rida).
― some dude, Friday, 4 January 2013 12:22 (twelve years ago)
how do we know psy has no urban radio airplay? like what's the go-to reference on that?
― s.clover, Friday, 4 January 2013 17:04 (twelve years ago)

I have not heard him on DC urban radio (some dude listens more to DC and Baltimore radio than I do; he could give a more full response I bet)
― curmudgeon, Friday, 4 January 2013 17:21 (twelve years ago)
I don't think I've even heard any of the DJs or radio personalities even mention him or the fad
― 乒乓, Friday, 4 January 2013 17:24 (twelve years ago)
maybe gangnam style will appear in a kanye verse on a remix 5 years from now, tho
― 乒乓, Friday, 4 January 2013 17:25 (twelve years ago)
the slowed-down olsen twins reference already feels 5 years old, i'd give him maybe two months
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 4 January 2013 17:28 (twelve years ago)
I mostly listen to urban radio these days, so I didn't know about the song until months after the masses (I had to YouTube it after reading that it was a defining song of 2012). That song is so far removed from rap radio interests that I'd be surprised if any rap station anywhere in the country ever played it even once.
― Evan R, Friday, 4 January 2013 17:37 (twelve years ago)
have you heard the diamonds remix?
