Can you remove the biggest drop from number one section as it is unnecessary and does not define how successful a song is especially when a songs position fluctuate heavily on charts depending on new releases and the time of year Rubylise5600 (talk) 13:41, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Ultraodan (talk) 14:41, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are shortest songs necessary in this article?

I am planning to add a sentence in the introduction of this article, stating that:

"...The shortest song on the Billboard Hot 100 is "Steve's Lava Chicken" by Jack Black, which is 34 seconds long. This record was previously held by Pikotaro's "Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen", which is 45 seconds long."

Need to ask before I add this part into this article: is it necessary for this article to include the sentence above? Weareblahs (talk) 02:55, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
