![]() ![]() ![]() “Harlem Shake” spent one week (last week) at #2 on that chart. “Thrift Shop” has been #1 on Hot Digital Songs for eight straight weeks. ![]() And if it had been in place last summer, PSY’s “Gangnam Style” would undoubtedly have hit #1 (it spent seven weeks at #2).Įven so, it seems to me that the You Tube element is being given too much weight. If this policy had been in place two years ago, Rebecca Black’s “Friday” might have had a shot at #1 (it peaked at #58 in April 2011). Given all these facts, you might expect that “Thrift Shop” is also #1 on the Hot 100, but that distinction goes, for the third week in row, to Baauer’s viral phenomenon “Harlem Shake.” “Harlem Shake” is the first song to capitalize on Billboard’s decision to add You Tube streaming data to the Hot 100 formula.
