Chapter 960: Full of stamina
The third week of May, "Ho Hey", second.
The fourth week of May, "Ho Hey", second.
Since the second week of May, the top two positions on the Billboard singles chart have remained unchanged. No matter what happened later, the leader has remained unchanged.
So.
After ranking second behind "In That Club" for three consecutive weeks, "Ho Hey" has been stuck in second place behind "Get Busy" for three consecutive weeks.
Amazing feat! Great stamina!
A round of cheers, a round of applause, and as each week progresses, the noise from the media and the Internet continues to increase a little bit——
Ho ho ho, hey hey hey!
Although this single has never been able to break through its shackles and reach the top of the charts, such a strong follow-up performance still made the entire North American market shine.
It can even be said to be an incredible feat, once again triggering a new round of heated discussions in the United States:
Excuse me, how long can "Ho Hey" continue to be stuck? Is this single still stuck at No. 2, or does it still have a chance to reach No. 1?
"Stuck Two", simply put, means "it has been stuck in the second position but has never been able to reach the top of the Billboard Singles Chart".
In the long history of the Billboard singles chart, many classic singles have experienced the "No. 2" treatment. Perhaps in terms of explosive power and popularity, they have always lacked a little luck and failed to reach the top of the list. But this still does not affect their classics, but leaves their mark in another way.
As of 2003, the longest number of weeks in the history of Billboard was ten weeks, and two singles shared this wonderful historical record:
One is the single "Waiting-for-a-girl-like-you" released by the British band Foreigners in November 1981.
One is the single "Work-It" released by female rapper Missy-Elliott in November last year.
Now, "Ho Hei" has joined the ranks with a sudden appearance. It has been "stuck two" for six weeks and is temporarily ranked tied for tenth on the historical list——
It shares the honor with fourteen other singles, including Mariah Carey's "Shake-it-Off," The Beatles' "Twist-and-Shout," Minam's "Without-Me" and other well-known works.
Obviously, if you can reach the championship, no one likes to be second, because history always remembers the winner; but never forget that the reason why the championship exists is because there are second, third, and second place behind you. Fourth place, etc., second place is also worthy of admiration and praise.
Just because these singles never topped the Billboard charts doesn't mean they should be forgotten. On the contrary, staying at the No. 2 spot for a month or two months in a row is also a feat, and not just any single can reach such heights.
Now, the name "Ho Hey" should be added to this list.
So, what’s next?
Can "Ho Hey"'s Card 2 journey go further? Although this honor and this list do not seem to be something to be proud of, given the overall situation, the band August 31st that popped out of the cracks in the stone is indeed worthy of attention, and things become interesting.
Then, in the first week of June, the Billboard singles chart changed again.
Winner, "21-Questions", fifty cents.
Runner up, "Ho Hey", August 31st Band.
Third place, "Get Busy", Sean Paul.
Wow!
Shocked!
For a while, people didn't know that they should be surprised that Fifty Cents came out. After just three weeks, it regained the top spot on the singles chart again. The second wave of singles from the first album successfully topped the list again. There is no doubt that it is This year’s monster newcomer.
It should still be surprising that on August 31st, the band once again withstood the impact and continued to be ranked second in the single history list of "never reaching the top and always ranking runner-up for the most weeks". , broke away from a kind of companion and entered the all-time top ten, temporarily tied for seventh place, sharing this record with three other singles.
Surprise and admiration are far from enough to describe the hustle and bustle of the North American music market.
From "In That Club" to "Get Busy" to "21 Questions," the Billboard singles chart has changed three times, but "Hoo Hey" still firmly holds the number two spot. , has become the most beautiful scenery on the bulletin board in the past two months.
Wonderful! Every week that follows, people may witness the birth of a new history——
Either "Ho Hei"'s card number continues to rise and continues to bring surprises; or "Ho Hei" breaks the shackles and reaches the championship for the first time.
Of course, it is also possible that "Ho Hey" lacks stamina and slips to third place or even continues to fall, ending this single's long march of more than eight months.
The conclusion is that no matter what the direction of development, this is a scene worth remembering and being excited about in the music market this year, and no one should miss it.
The second week of June, "Ho Hey", second.
The third week of June, "Ho Hey", second.
Everything seems familiar, "21 Questions" has been at the top of the singles chart for three consecutive weeks, and "Ho Hey" has been the runner-up on the singles chart for three consecutive weeks, like a perfect cycle.
In the blink of an eye, before even having time to breathe, "Ho Hei" has stayed in the second position for a full nine weeks, far away from the joint position held by "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and "Assignment" The ten-week card two record is only one step away.
Currently, it is temporarily ranked third on the all-time list, together with Donna-Lewis' "I-love-you-always-forever" and Shania -Shania-Twain's "You're-still-the-only-one" Let's share this glory together
History is still moving forward
The entire North American music market is bustling with excitement, discussions and eager anticipation.
Warner Records was stunned. They were looking forward to the band's success and believed that the band could make a splash, but they didn't see this at all. Eight months after the release of "Ho Hey", in August Thirty One was able to reach such heights and become a phenomenon.
Numbered with "American Idol", as a representative of grassroots singers and independent bands, he was born and completely subverted the entire North American music market.
Regardless of whether "Ho Hey" can continue to write a new history, this single has left its own mark. The journey of the band's first single in their career on August 31st will definitely go down in history. The long river is talked about by future generations.
I'm afraid, it's not inferior to fifty cents at all.
Amid much attention, the Billboard singles chart was officially announced in the fourth week of June -
The champion, "Long Live Life", is the band on August 31st.
Runner up, "21 Questions," fifty cents.

Discussions abounded and everything exploded.
It was so noisy and noisy that I couldn’t believe my eyes. In the next second, everything went crazy, and the collective fell into madness. There were no words or thoughts, no screams, no exclamations, just stunned gasps and heartbeats. , spreading mightily across the North American continent.
This...what happened?
