Why has Bloody Mary not yet entered the Billboard Hot 100?

[I AM THEATRE 692]

I mean.. now the song is known worldwide... I cannot open TikTok without finding myself in front of the viral trend  Sounds very strange to me that has not yet entered the BH100..

I’d like to know as well. Please let me know what the answer is.

Yeah.. it means it is #104-#105.. but it is placed after songs that I've never heard of?? Like how?? 

[Illuminati 15,808]

it can only chart on hot 100 if it has enough points for a #50 or higher spot because it's an old song

Honestly, I think the answer is Christmas. In January, when all the Christmas songs have disappeared, it should have its chart moment.

No, that only happens if the song has already charted for 20 weeks.

The real reason is that Christmas songs are clogging up the charts. It should enter next week.

Because it's time for Free Woman to shine

I never understood that rule; if it's still making the numbers to chart after 20 weeks, then it should chart, plain and simple

Me either, but apparently that's how Billboard Hot 100 works:

20 and more weeks: doesn't chart if it's under #50

52 and more weeks: doesn't chart if under #25

Because people are only using the short sped up clip for TikTok’s and reels but they’re not streaming the actual song enough, despite it being Gaga’s current most streamed.  It’s also not on the radio enough or at all.

Well it keeps songs from sticking around too long just because of recurrent radio play in most cases. For example, songs like Sugar, Blinding Lights, etc. would’ve charted a whole lot longer without this rule nearly solely on recurrent radio play. It makes it easier for newer songs to nab a spot in the Top 100

[TEANUS 12,941]

OT: The Christmas Freeze. It’s directly impacted the charts more and more over the years due to streaming. Radio used to be the only major factor that went dead for Non-Christmas tracks but now that people just stream the same songs every year they come back every year from Nov-early Jan

For example, there’s 7 Christmas songs in JUST the top 10 on this weeks chart. That’s already 7 entries that won’t be on the chart in 2 weeks

..because charts in general and in particular the abysmal  BB single chart are based on metrics ( radio, streaming , Digital Sales ) that alone are not able to measure the real popularity of a Song...examples.? ..everyone Is speaking about the Cramp' s Song  or Bloody Mary...It Is REPLICATED everywhere in private circles, in sport circles in TV shows...everwhere...this big, big, big, big part of popularity is not considered by the metrics of BB chart  . both songs  are big but no room in BB chart...All tracks but Antihero of the abysmal and depressing Midnights album are top ten singles. Are they so popular, do people really knows them that well as singles? No .No...No...No... They were just top ten singles for one week because the depressing and abysmal ( for me )  Midnight album Is so popular. It Is the album the real driving force as a metric. As a single all these TS tracks from Midnights ( apart from Antihero ) are much less popular than Bloody or Go Go Muck... To consider all the tracks from Midnight as a single is a slap in the face for all artists who are not so popular or rich or previledged as that she..ty girl with a father buying her a record deal.  These younger artists  should also have a chance to shine.
