General Charts Discussion - list of artists w/ most #1 hits

[Dangerous Man 9,245]

I don't know. Youtube isn't the only thing. I think that Shake It Off actually has a chance to top the Streaming Charts, because Shake It Off will have millions of US Spotify streams.

It won't pull a Harlem Shake, that's nearly impossible. And Youtube streaming isn't that powerful anymore anyways; Wrecking Ball was #1 on streaming AND sales. Hangover is a recent example of a streaming hit, and it only hit #26 on the Hot 100.

 

I'd say #2-#4 for Anaconda. Shake It Off has a chance to reach #1.

I also think Tay will got this.

ARTPOP is #50 on the worldwide iTunes chart on Kworb :)

[Mariano 958]

ehhm

1 Wolter Kroes & Isabella - Ik Ben Je Prooi (Uit Utopia) 

^^^^^ didn't know SBS6 had enough buying power to make a song go #1 with a 80% lead

2 Jan Smit - Jij & Ik

4 Pitbull - Fireball (feat. John Ryan)

6 Nielson - Sexy Als Ik Dans

what is that

at first I thought it said Sam Smith

And Bye at PitBull, Ned, you can do better than that   (for example G.U.Y. )

[PicklePower 1,649]

If Bang Bang hangs in there, Nicki will most likely have 2 songs in the top 10.

Jan Smit is a singer and also does the commentary for the Eurovision here.

I find it odd how a single hasn't sold 1M+ first week, and many albums have, yet songs always end up selling more.

"Candle in the Wind" was expected to debut high on the charts, partly due to its tribute to the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. It became the fastest-selling single in the UK, selling 658,000 copies in its first day of release, and over 1.5 million copies in its first week.

The chart success in the United States was similar. Released on 22 September 1997, "Candle in the Wind" debuted at number one on the Billboard 100, with first week sales at 3.5 million copies.

Why is Eminem releasing a brand new single so soon

[hausofmike 127]

I have a strong feeling Anaconda could be #1 with increase In sales and huge VEVO debut. Beating out Taylor Seift.

[brizoda 3,846]

the next week number one will be AATB

SIO actually isn't available on Spotify & Anaconda has a 12M Youtube lead on SIO.

 

I agree with everything else you said tho.

1. Shake It Off

2. AATB

3. Anaconda

It definitely will for ha

[Glory 2,247]

the next week number one will be AATB

No Way, Taylor will shoot up to #1 with her big sales and airplay

The only one that could block her would be Nicki with the massive streaming of anaconda (i love both songs  )

SALES
According to industry projections, "Shake" could start with more than 475,000 downloads sold in the U.S. in its first week (ending Sunday, Aug. 24). Such a sum would mark the biggest arrival this year, besting Ariana Grande's "Problem," which bowed with 438,000 sold and debuted at No. 1 on the May 17 Digital Songs chart. (It entered the Hot 100 at No. 3 and went on to peak at No. 2 for five weeks.)

The last song to start north of 475,000 sold: Katy Perry's "Roar," which debuted atop the Aug. 31, 2013, Digital Songs tally with 557,000. It vaulted 85-2 on the Hot 100 that week ahead of its two-week stay at No. 1.

STREAMING
In addition to launching as the top-selling song in the country, "Shake" should begin as the most-streamed in its first week, too. According to preliminary data from Nielsen BDS, "Shake" easily drew the most streams in the U.S. on Aug. 18-19 on Vevo on YouTube: 6.3 million. Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" ranks second with 2.7 million streams in that two-day span.

"Bass" currently leads Billboard's Streaming Songs chart with 8.1 million U.S. streams overall, with 4.4 million via Vevo on YouTube, in the week ending Aug. 17.

While it boasts a strong early lead in Vevo on YouTube streams, "Shake" is not available on on-demand audio services.

AIRPLAY
"Shake" is also bound for a monster frame of radio airplay in its first full week of availability. On BDS' building chart, the song ranks at No. 10 with 22 million in all-format audience since Wednesday.
