She has 1.1B streams in Pandora overall. Quite impressive especially compared to her youtube and spotify stats.

[Ewokguy15]

I didn't think you could check stream on Pandora??? where did you get these.

[_makeme]

I had to make a pandora account and go to Janet’s page. Someone on ATRL did the complete breakdown and I just copied and pasted it to this thread

[AutomaticBR]

I had to make a pandora account and go to Janet’s page. Someone on ATRL did the complete breakdown and I just copied and pasted it to this thread

Does anyone think Hot 100 should be updated pre-1998? I know this will never happen but it would be interesting to see if the chart actually included all charts points and not just Top 40 how other formats would have dominated.

https://www.billboard.com/amp/articl...irplay-singles

Most of Janet's top 5 hits would have more than likely gone to #1 bringing her total to anywhere to 14-20 since most of her singles were #1 R&B hits (16!)

People like Angel Winbush and Miki Howard who both had #1 R&B singles that never even made the Hot 100... and many more top 10 R&B singles would have actually charted on the Hot 100 since they never charted on the Hot 100.

Why debate about pipe dreams? Rules were as they were. They are never going to retroactively change the charts.

AFY got 342 radio adds its first week.

Does anyone think Hot 100 should be updated pre-1998? I know this will never happen but it would be interesting to see if the chart actually included all charts points and not just Top 40 how other formats would have dominated.

I’ve read you posting that many many times but I’m not sure what you mean...
Any source for that? (That only pop radio counted for Hot 100). Cos I can’t find it...

"On Dec. 5, 1998, the Billboard Hot 100 underwent one of the greatest methodology changes in its history....

Previously the domain of mostly top 40 stations, along with adult pop and alternative, the chart grew to the all-genre-based ranking that it is today, mixing in country, R&B/hip-hop, Latin and more." SOURCE: https://www.billboard.com/amp/articl...irplay-singles

Janet being one of the biggest R&B hit makers of all-time with 16 #1 R&B singles lost largely because of the no-R&B rule. As did a lot of country acts who saw their first charting hot 100 hits in 1999.

Good example is Reba McEntire who had 20+ #1 country singles before 1999 but scored only her SECOND Hot 100 chart entry peaking at #32 on the Hot 100 in 1999 thanks to the new rules.

The one BIG difference here is Janet was a massive R&B AND pop hit maker. Prior to the chart rule... 21 of Janet's singles were Top 5 Hot 100 hits without any R&B points.

"Any Time, Any Place" had ten weeks at #1 on the R&B charts. I'd imagine had all of those R&B points actually been included on the Hot 100 that single would have easily moved from #2 to #1 at some point. "I Get Lonely" as well. "Nasty" peaked at #1 on Hot 100 Single Sales but peaked at #3 on Hot 100, but was also a #1 R&B single... that as well more than likely would have moved to #1, as well as "Rhythm Nation" and many others #1 R&B Singles.

I'm not sure I knew about this, good spot!

What a beast Jan would've been with a fully inclusive chart!

^^^ We do have to remember that Rock artist would have been very competitive on the Hot100 chart as well. Not just R&B. Rock was still huge in the 80s and 90s.

But I do think Janet would have had more #1's of course.

Thanks Makeme,'

I Get lonely is a classic.

100%. It's also sad that so many core R&B and country artists had lots of #1 singles that never even made the Hot 100 because they never appeared on any of those "top 40, adult pop and or alternative" stations.

Granted a lot of country acts would have still struggled a little with just country points since not MANY country songs became pop crossover hits, but lots of R&B acts had massive crossover success. En Vogue, Whitney Houston, Prince, TLC, Jody Watley, Michael Jackson and so many others that would have had likely had other songs move to #1 on the Hot 100 (or spend a longer time at #1).

Imagine the "I Will Always Love You" or the "That's the Way Love Goes" chart run had R&B points been added!

Kween also did phenomenally on pop, granny and black radio all at once! OSD might have hit 20 weeks and Fantasy might have had 10 weeks plus!

I'd agree with that, too. But OSD was also helped by a 49 cent single. But it would have totally had a much longer run at #1. Source: https://www.nytimes.com/1996/01/25/a...nipulated.html

Also! "The Pleasure Principe" (a #1 R&B single) would have likely pushed the song from #14 (on Hot 100) to the top ten since it was a #1 R&B single. Making her consecutive top ten records for a woman even longer! 18 to 24! She had to do the Super Bowl! lol

June 25, 1994 chart

Billboard Hot 100 - https://www.billboard.com/charts/the...100/1994-06-25

Any Time, Any Place #2
I Swear #1

HOT R&B/HIP-HOP SONGS https://www.billboard.com/charts/r-b...ngs/1994-06-25

Any Time, Any Place #1
I Swear #15

I'm assuming looking at the difference on the R&B chart for "ATAP" and "I Swear". "Any Time, Any Place" would have likely been the #1 single on the Hot 100 that week had R&B points been included. Would take a lot of work to do each peak week for her singles but does give you an idea on how a lot of chart peaks could have been different.

January 13 1990 chart

Billboard Hot 100 - https://www.billboard.com/charts/the...100/1990-01-13

Rhythm Nation #2 (for 2nd week)

Another Day In Paradise #1

HOT R&B/HIP-HOP SONGS - https://www.billboard.com/charts/r-b...ngs/1990-01-13

Rhythm Nation #1

Another Day In Paradise (did not chart on any R&B related charts)

Another example at how had R&B points been included "Rhythm Nation" would have also likely been a #1 single on the Hot 100, I'd even imagine may have blocked "Paradise" from going #1 since RN was Top 5 on the R&B chart the entire time Phil was #1 on the Hot 100.

Very interesting to look at old charts and see how things could have been different with an all-genre Hot 100.

March 14 1987 chart

Billboard Hot 100 - https://www.billboard.com/charts/the...100/1987-03-14

Let's Wait Awhile #3 (moved to #2 the following week)

Somewhere Out There (From "An American Tail") #2

Jacob's Ladder #1

HOT R&B/HIP-HOP SONGS - https://www.billboard.com/charts/r-b...ngs/1987-03-14

Let's Wait Awhile #1

Somewhere Out There (From "An American Tail") did not chart

Jacob's Ladder did not chart

Another example I found of how if R&B points were included on the Hot 100 "Let's Wait Awhile" would have likely been the #1 single the week of March 14th.

January 10 1987 chart

HOT 100 - https://www.billboard.com/charts/the...100/1987-01-10

Control #6 (moved to #5 next week)

C'est La Vie #5

Everybody Have Fun Tonight #4

Shake You Down #3

Notorious #2

Walk Like An Egyptian #1


HOT R&B/HIP-HOP SONGS - https://www.billboard.com/charts/r-b...ngs/1987-01-10


Control #1

C'est La Vie #22

Everybody Have Fun Tonight did not chart

Shake You Down #49

Notorious did not chart

Walk Like An Egyptian did not chart


Interestingly enough looks like "Control" could have also been a #1 single on the Hot 100 the week of 1/10 if R&B points were included. If not #1 it would have clearly moved up based on the R&B chart that week.

[lovedeluxe]

Looks like there was a chance that "Come Back to Me" could have been #1 on the Hot 100 week ending 08/25/1990.

"Love Takes Time" was #6 on the R&B chart while "Come Back to Me" was #2

On the Hot 100 "Love Takes Time" was #1 and "CBTM" was #2.

CBTM was also #1 on AC while LTT was not on the chart at the time.

So crazy to see how almost all of the RN singles could have been #1 on the Hot 100!
