Numbers Thread - 10/23/18 • mjsbigblog

Today’s thread is brought to you by the Number 5.

For the fifth week, Maroon 5″s “Girls Like You” tops the Hot 100. It tops the Airplay chart for a 13th week with no end in sight. It’s at 120M AI with the next song at 94.3M (“Better Now”) by Post Malone which is on a downward trend as well. The record is 18 weeks held by “Iris” from the Goo Goo Dolls. The number two song is “Zeze” from Kodak Black and it would have debuted at Number 1 if “Girls Like You” hadn’t received a streaming boost from releasing a new video.
