Gaga is dropping her album on May 29th, I would assume she’s big enough to chart at least 2 songs on the hot 100 & if they are dance pop songs like Stupid Love, Happier will be gone

[cursedmonkey]

What is happening next week:
Roses will make a fifth week while Ride it is hitting a New Peak at No. 2 thanks to great streaming and rising higher on Billboard Hot 100! 😁
Astronomia could blasts to top 10 thanks to mega radio and sales!
Here is my Predictions
10. Post Malone (-2)
9. Breaking me (+1)
8. Astromonia (+5)
7. Higher Love (=)
6. Happier (-2)
5. Stupid Love (=)
4. ily (+2)
3. RITMO (-1)
2. Ride it (+1)
1. Roses (=)

Who thinks that RITMO should get out the top 5

[sammzr]

It's weird that "Be Kind" isn't on the chart, considering that Billboard mentionned, in an recent article, this song being an EDM one. Like The Chainsmokers' "Closer" where Hayley was featured in aswell. I think they have changed some rules about what songs is considered EDM or not in this chart. Maybe the song must, indeed, have a drop part, at least. (Another exemple, many weeks ago, there was a Teqkoi track that was charting here, and got away suddenly).

Even if Be Kind was on these charts, Happier would still be here (at No. 5). Noice

My Top 10:

10. In your eyes (-1)
9. Lose Control (-2)
8. Higher love (=)
7. Post Malone (+3)
6. Like it is (-4)
5. Happier (=)
4. RITMO (=)
3. Astromonia (+3)
2. Stupid Love (+1)

Likely/Possible Dropouts Next Week:
#50 Becky Hill ft Shift K3Y - Better Off Without You
#49 SLANDER & William Black - Back To U (?)
#48 220 KID & GRACEY - Don't Need Love
(?)
#47 Grimes - Delete Forever
#45 K-391, Alan Walker & Ahrix - End Of Time (?)
#44 R3HAB x Andy Grammer - Good Example (?)
#38 SG Lewis - Chemicals
#35 Madonna - I Don't Search I Find (?)
#34 Hayden James & Icona Pop - Right Time (?)
#33 James Blake - You're Too Precious
#25 Diplo & SIDEPIECE - On My Mind
#21 Cannons - Fire For You (??)

-A average week with not too much going on. Some surprises, at least to me, were Madonna's IDSIF (formerly club-powered) reentering (no idea of its gains), and Cannons's FFY surging to #21. Not sure how long its sales will last. If it loses sales, it could drop quite hard given its lack of streams, which is why FFY is mentioned as a possible dropout (Get Your Wish dropped out from #22, so a rapid dropout after a surge could happen)

-Top 10: So this week, I expected Be Kind to debut here and Happier to dropout. Those didn't happen (Another Oops!). Oh well, at least there's ily which could overtake Happier.

In my opinion, however, it feels odd that Billboard doesn't qualify Be Kind as dance/electronic/edm, when yet a simple wiki search of the song puts it in that category. Also, iTunes puts it in the dance category. I know this seems like I want the song to be here really badly; but the point is there seems to be some disparity in determining the song's category, which leads to the bigger issue of "boxing" songs into specific categories. Sometimes this can be a challenge for Billboard. Take TCS's All We Know, for example, a song that apparently didn't qualify here despite an obvious synthy drop. For the sake of space, I'll stop here. Have a good rest of your day! Peace✌

I hope "LATHI" enter this chart someday
