The Week's Billboard Hot 100 #1

It's really odd to me that the first Weezer song I've heard on top 40 radio in over a decade ^note I'm specifically thinking of "Beverly Hills" with that date is a Toto cover essentially created as Meme Acknowledgment: Basically last summer a random fan started a twitter account solely to get them to cover the song, and they eventually did it. The "Rosanna" cover was released a few days earlier and was probably trolling their audience by covering the second most well-known song from the same album.

I kinda like "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart" - it's almost as though the Backstreet Boys made a guest appearance on a Daft Punk track (just needs more vocoder).

Drake stays at the top spot and ties the record held by Usher for most weeks at the #1 spot by a male soloist. Meanwhile, Khalid and Normani finally reaches the Top 10 with "Love Lies".

Does the Summer Songs chart conclude this week?

I think it's either this week or next week. We'll see.

Wonderful that the track where he calls Tyler a faggot nearly made it into the top 10.

Hasn’t Tyler said that he doesn’t mind being called a faggot?

,The line was more like "now I know why you call yourself a..."

Even if Tyler did say that, I feel like N-Word Privileges are still at play.

Even though it's not a positive review overall, Todd In The Shadows made me start to like "Better Now", mainly because of his analysis of the lines "used to keep my portrait posted by your bedside / now it's in your dresser with the socks you don't like" ^note  He basically said it's a great detail to put in a breakup song because it's so specific and realistic - you've got this memento of this person you used to love, and you don't want to throw it out or burn it because it'd be too dramatic, but you also don't want to keep looking at it, so you just sock it away in some random place

I think "Better Now" is one of the better Post Malone songs, if only for the fact that it conveys other emotions than "I'm two seconds from falling asleep".

Better Now is a very good song for getting hyped up, which is more than you can usually say for Post Malone.

Do we know if “Venom”, David Guetta and/or Weezy are charting this week?

Not yet as of now. And as far as Lil Wayne is concerned, Tha Carter V was released last Friday so that should impact the chart next week, not this week. Given the numbers the album has been doing in streaming, I expect most if not all of the songs from it will chart.

Just watching the Todd video of him having an aneurysm over Maroon 5 having yet another #1 hit with an even more generically pop song than their last singles. My sides are in orbit!

Seriously though, Maroon 5 can go sit on a rusty rake. How they keep managing to have hits is so bizarre.

Apparently David Guetta has a new album I didn’t even hear about.

Maroon 5 and Cardi B remain at #1 while Lil Wayne makes a huge impact on the charts with his latest album Tha Carter V as he debuts four songs in the Top 10, tying his protege Drake for most debuts in the Top 10 in a single week.

God, is “Girls Like You” ever so painfully dull and bland. Not even Cardi could save it. There’s just so little for her to work with, but at least her verse is listenable...

At least “Youngblood” is good. Nice to see it doing well.
