River 91,084 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 it's useless, everyone can #1.. there isn't even one artist that making everyone crazy and very successful anymore. I mean, 90s kids here can remember how CRAZY it was with the Spice Girls, BSB and the rest.. you actually watched mtv chart and was excited when you favorite artist and favorite song was #1 and you were shocked when how the **** the song you hate is #1 and the one you like is #2 Today it's not like that at all.. Je ne parle pas français but I can padam if you like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Temptation 11,209 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Billboard should abolish the Hot 100. It's irrelevant now, but also poorly constructed and vastly inadequate to measure impact. I want raw data: how many physical copies sold, how many streams across all platforms, YouTube views etc. The Hot 100 fails to do what it's supposed to.

Example: Work- a repetitive and annoying song Panda - just a great beat One dance- never heard of it Can't stop the feeling - generic song It was so hard back in 2012 and 2011 and now any one can get a #1. Me personally, I believe it's lost its value . But on the bright side of things , it will be easy Gaga to get a #1. This. Truth. They're meaningless now. Ever since Taylor Swift was awarded the 'Taylor Swift Award' I gave up on current pop culture. If you don't have shadows you're not standing in the light.

gagaisitalian 3,573 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 No. A #1 song is like being a popular kid in high school. It really doesn't mean anything later on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Those songs are actually the most popular in that very week and that's all the Hot 100 is there for - to determine the most popular songs in a given week. Sure, there are a lot of factors that play a role in getting a #1 hit and the formula needs to be reviewed continuously, but overall I think the chart is doing its job.

chromaticka 4,350 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 This isn't even about if Gaga has a #1. We all know she truly deserved that spot, and that's why we wouldn't be complaining. She wouldn't release some mediocre sh*t like Work. Why do you think she doesn't have 17 number 1 hits? Because her type of music is more mature and has actual meaning behind it. The general public likes simplicity, and that makes Rihanna and Katy Perry easy targets for those sales. Gaga knows better than to dumb down her music for the charts. I'd rather Gaga score a #4 with a song like Applause than a #1 with a song like Work. I Met Lady Gaga On February 7th, 2016; Attended Superbowl 51 and Coachella 2017.

Stop trying to make everything about Gaga. If your fave actually had a string of #1 hits on the billboard charts, you would use it as a measure of relevance and success, how they are relevant and well-deservedly recognised for their hard work. If it flops on BB100 people will downplay it by saying something along the lines of how this chart can't appreciate "good" music and how the GP is basic. Lets be realistic here, BB100 takes into account the many ways people access music and consolidates it into a chart form where the most POPULAR music is on top. The opinion of people in this thread will be swayed by gaga's performance on the chart. If Gaga was Rihanna or Katy Perry, the opinion about how having a #1 hit would be much more positive. Replace Gaga with any other pop star and my argument stands. But since i'm on a GAGA website, you should be able to see why i'm using her in my previous post.

Brian Ryan 1,468 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 If Applause went number one and Roar didn't it would have the uptmost value on this forum. Of course, it does. It's number one bby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you're an apologist for a chart that has lost all trust, relevance and credibility. As everyone here as noted, BB100 is a shadow of it's former self. It's useless and deceptive. And as I had noted, this debate has nothing to do with Gaga. Many legends have not had number 1s for their most iconic hits. There is a new number 1 every week now. Nobody knows who those artists are, and even the ones who do will forget them in six weeks time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
migamiga 12,067 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 It's been like that since the mid 2000s. If you look at a list of #1s from pre iTunes days, all the songs were great songs and had longevity and were iconic. Nowadays it's just quick, catchy singles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's take a look at 2003 for example. Are these great iconic songs? Bump, Bump, Bump - B2K feat. P Diddy Get Busy - Sean Paul 21 Questions - 50 Cent This Is The Night - Clay Aiken Shake Ya Tailfeather - Nelly feat. P Diddy Stand Up - Ludacris feat.
