Dear Casey, On the Globalchart we have seen a parade of solo women topping the chart. Now the group Linkin Park hits #1. When was the last time a group topped the chart? Vic, Toronto. I don't mind playing Casey You might consider Silk Sonic a group, and "Leave The Door Open" was on top for 9 weeks in 2021. But prior to that it was The Jonas Brothers in 2019 with "Sucker".

Don't forget 1982 where so many singles held at their peak positions for many weeks on end... then fell like a rock right after! The biggest example of this has to be Air Supply falling from #6 all the way out of the top 40 with "Even The Nights Are Better". Yes there were all kinds of weird drops on the charts I looked at between August and October 1982. Songs falling out of the Top 40 from the Top 10, songs falling out of the Top 30 into the 70's, 80's and 90's. That hardly seems like a natural flow, perhaps they bent chart rules to allow more new music to infiltrate the Top 40. Record label reps had a lot of power in the late 60's and early 70's to convince radio stations to drop songs after six or seven weeks so they could promote the next one (similar strategy seems to be in place for streaming these days ), but that was circumvented when album rock started to get popular and songs started sticking around on local charts for more than 20 weeks.

Feel free to provide any other examples! Ah yes, the year that Foreigner's "Waiting For A Girl Like You" was #2 for 10 weeks... tread lightly on Foreigner being stuck at # 2 I never heard anything about any suspicious activity at the time Except, as FreakyFlyBry says above, Hall & Oates jumped over it to get to #1.

Not sure if you are including payola speculation...There is the infamous "Shadow Dancing" keeping "Baker Street Out of the top spot. People at the time thought there was some RSO money passed under the table No, because there was always speculation about that happening in general. Casablanca Records apparently did the same with some songs like KISS' "Christine Sixteen".

Kiwi Country singer Kaylee Bell grabs The Big BUZZZ this week with "Boots 'N All". "Midnight Crisis" by Jordan Davis & Danielle Bradbery ties the 'BUZZZchart longevity record this week at 27 weeks. I removed Mae Muller's "I Wrote A Song" from the chart as she had a Top 20 Globalchart hit with a co-billing on "Better Days" (with Neiked and Polo G) last year.

Billboard's internal manipulation of the Hot 100 seemed to start in the early 70's, then seemed to settle down for the 80's and most of the 90's and 00's, before resurfacing in the '10's. Feel free to add other stories or ask any questions and I'll try to research those that are not really well known. Please don't add anecdotes simply because you didn't like a particular song.
Some of these include:
* Paul McCartney & Wings' "Live and Let Die" leapt from 21-3 on August 4, 1973 but never got to #1, holding at #2 for 3 weeks. It was kept out of #1 by three different number ones - Maureen McGovern's "The Morning After", Diana Ross' "Touch Me In The Morning" and The Stories' "Brother Louie". What are the odds this could happen?
* In 1974, five one week number ones dropped from 1-12 the next week, and all but one were succeeded by the song at #2, and two songs dropped from 1-15. There is NO WAY this could have happened without chart tampering.
* In 1975, there was a huge question about how Tony Orlando & Dawn's "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)" kept rising up the chart with no major radio stations reporting it. The record company attributed it to smart promotion... uh, not!
* In 2012, PSY's worldwide smash "Gangnam Style" is held back from reaching #1 by... Maroon 5's "One More Night". HOW.
* In 2013, Billboard changed its chart rules, which bizarrely allowed Baauer's "Harlem Shake" to debut at #1. Coincidence? NOT.
