We are just letting AI win at this point
that is the end goal of these streaming services yes
hope you own your own s*** and use an Ipod or something
Streaming #1*
The fact billboard doesnt differentiate between pre and post streaming hits is one of the biggest scams in human history. Kids are gonna grow up thinking The Weeknd was bigger than Michael Jackson, Drake was better than the Beatles etc...
and they can't really read either so they won't be able to fact check themselves and will just believe whatever the chart history tells em
I don’t actively try to ignore it but if it did play I wouldn’t know but when Espresso was everywhere, somehow I know it every time.
feel like this record gets broken every 3 months with some slight caveat lmao
The record from 1996 to 2019 was held by One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, which was #1 for 16 weeks.
Then in 2019, Old Town Road broke the record and set a new one with 19 weeks at #1.
In 2024, A Bar Song (Tipsy) reached 19 weeks at #1 as well and tied the record.
However, from 2019 to the current day, with the rise of streaming, All I Want for Christmas Is You has been charting at #1 annually every holiday season. Despite releasing in 1994, it hit #1 for the first time in 2019, tied the record of 19 weeks in 2025, and finally surpassed it that same year as well, becoming the first song ever to reach 20+ weeks at #1, currently sitting at 22 weeks total.
So the record has only changed twice in the past 30 years, with one of them being a holiday song that repeatedly hits #1 every year.
Choosin' Texas reaching 20 weeks at #1 is significant because it's the first song to do it in its initial chart run, and it has the chance to actually surpass All I Want for Christmas Is You as the longest-running #1 song ever

I appreciate that you took your time to format this
I like this song and understand the appeal but doesn’t seem like it would reach these kinda heights without some strings being pulled
I think it’s a good song
no matter what song breaks the record it’s never going to live up to its status just what it is
Now that I think about it someone actually put me on to this song in the what song are you listening to thread so ironically ktt put me on to it before it blew up
Average chart on 2008. Monoculture is so dead 
Mainstream music used to be so good
