After seeing his streaming numbers, it's possible that
Drake could have the entire Top 20 to himself this week!]]> Sun, 08 Jul 2018 05:27:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8930&PID=49598&title=perfect-ed-sheeran#49598 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8930&PID=49582&title=perfect-ed-sheeran#49582 Author: PopArchivist

Knowing Drake, they probably will. The question is will he dethrone the current #1. It seems this is "his" year.]]> Sat, 07 Jul 2018 15:40:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8930&PID=49581&title=perfect-ed-sheeran#49581 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8930&PID=49570&title=perfect-ed-sheeran#49570 Author: cmmmbase

Funny, I was just thinking about this subject a couple days ago when I was upgrading one of my CDRs in my collection. This song didn't make the top 40 - "Lost on You" by LP - but the label sent out 3 edits of the single to TM Century Hit Discs, all shorter than the album version, and all different times with different edits in different places. (In other words, the shortest one wasn't just an edit of the 2nd shortest one, etc.) None were remixed, just different edits. Had this made the top 40 - with stations presumably playing different edits - which would we consider the definitive single version? It gets very complicated, as the examples above show.]]> Fri, 06 Jul 2018 23:30:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8930&PID=49562&title=perfect-ed-sheeran#49562 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8930&PID=49561&title=perfect-ed-sheeran#49561 Author: aaronk

True, but in the past year or two I've come to feel that
peak position doesn't mean much, and that weeks on chart
are a much better indicator of popularity. (Which is
funny, considering I began my collecting in 1989 with the
goal of having all the #1 hits.)

Perfect example are the "Glee" songs. Most of those songs
were NOT "hits." Something that is top ten for one week
and then drops out of the top 40 is not a "hit," even if
it peaks at number one, in my opinion.

Or these "album bombs" we've been having lately, like the
J. Cole feat of three tracks in the Top 10 of the Hot 100
in one week. All three of those were out of the Top 40
the following week. To me, that's not a hit.

Personally, when I'm compiling my year-by-year
collections to listen to in my car, I go by weeks spent
in the top 20, then sort any ties by peak position.]]> Fri, 06 Jul 2018 15:07:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8930&PID=49560&title=perfect-ed-sheeran#49560 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8930&PID=49557&title=perfect-ed-sheeran#49557 Author: aaronk

Well, there's nothing wrong with two hit versions! :) I have both in my
collection, so I'm covered. The Dallas CHRs must not be big on playing
remixes once the original has become the hit. It was the same story
with "S&M." They played the Rihanna version for weeks and never
switched to the new version with Britney. ]]> Fri, 06 Jul 2018 13:41:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8930&PID=49557&title=perfect-ed-sheeran#49557
