Baauer’s “Harlem Shake” Debuts At #1 On Hot 100, Which Now Factors In YouTube Streams | Music News, Reviews, and Gossip on Idolator.com

Just in time to catch the “Harlem Shake” Internet meme craze that broke out this month (see: the thousands of videos featuring people dancing to the trap music novelty), Brooklyn comm DJ Baauer becomes the first artist to have a #1 song on a newly-revised Billboard Hot 100 chart that, as of this week, now factors YouTube streams into its data, in addition to other streaming comm services, digital and physical sales and radio airplay. Cue up 2012 video view king PSY wondering where these chart rules were when “Gangnam Style” was stuck at #2 for two months last fall.
The official Mad Decent YouTube comm clip of “Harlem Shake” has racked up nearly 5 million views since it was put online in August, but the memes particularly the one featuring the University Of Georgia men’s swimming team, which, in only two weeks, has received nearly 22 million views are what have propelled the song into the pop stratosphere.
“Harlem Shake” is now only the 21st single comm to debut at the top of the Hot 100 chart, and Baauer (real name: Harry Rodrigues) is the third artist so far to have a #1 in 2013, following Bruno Mars ( “Locked Out Of Heaven” ) and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ( “Thrift Shop” ).
Even if they don’t, but just focus more on making great music videos, I still feel like that is unfair to the musicians who are doing this for the music. Who won’t be able to crack the top of the charts because they haven’t spent $2 million on a video, or don’t want to release a silly song or dumb video to get hits.
We’re going to have a lot more novelty hits, which isn’t so bad, but then we should put a lot less impact on what a number one hit means in regards to quality (which already it doesn’t mean quality by any means).
They wont really inatvtigsee comm it until they need to. Which means that you would have to get into an accident and that is when you get into trouble comm So yes, it will come back to bite you very very very hard!
