Billboard Hot Country Songs
(Chart issue week of
March 17, 2018)
On Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart - which
blends:
a) All-format airplay, as monitored by BDS
b) Sales, as tracked by Nielsen SoundScan and
c) Streaming, (tracked by
Nielsen BDS from such services as Spotify, Muve, Slacker, Rhapsody, Rdio and
Xbox Music, among others) according to BDS it results in:
Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line’s pop/country
crossover hit “Meant to Be” (Warner Bros./Big Machine Label Group) led
Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, for a 15th
week (on the chart dated March 17), extending its record for the most time
at No. 1 for song with lead female vocals in the chart's 59-year history.
On
the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, the song entered the top five, rising 7-5, as
its benefitted from multi-format support at both pop and country radio, where
it's being dually promoted. It also ranked at No. 6 on the all-genre Digital
Song Sales chart (34,000 sold) and No. 9 on Streaming Songs (20.9 million U.S.
streams).
At
country, where the majority of program directors lean on research, record
labels sometimes need a proven story to win programmers over, especially when a
song involves a pop artist.
"I told our staff from day one, if there is a
station that doesn't want to play it, don't get into a debate," Big
Machine Label Group executive VP and BMLG Records president Jimmy Harnen told Billboard of
"Meant." "Just show them
the sales, streams and audience impressions. Sometimes you have to listen with
your eyes."
