To help make the countdown more reflective of your votes, I’ve updated the weight of each chart component. Previously, after finalizing the vote each week, your votes would count towards 30% of the final chart, streaming accounted for 20%, video views and Shazam tags at 15% each, and sales and radio data at 10% each. Beginning with last week’s countdown, the weight of your votes changed to account for 50% of the final total. And instead of each other component receiving its own percentage, I am now combining the scores from the top ten of each component, and that combined score accounts for the other 50% of the vote. To find the component score, I use the same metrics (20% for Streaming, 15% for Shazam + Video, 10% for Sales and Radio). I score the top twenty vote and point getters on a 50-point scale, where #1 gets 50 points and #20 receives 2.5. Songs receive extra points with each vote it receives, and they will also lose points with all negative points received. Excited to see how much your votes influence the chart! VOTE NOW

Graduation Posted April 6, 2022 Author Posted April 6, 2022 10 hours ago, Insanity said: can you explain +2-, +15, etc and does -2, -3 count against the song? Sure! I add up every song’s cumulative score based on your votes. Songs get bonus points in the event of a tie for +15 (x2) and +20 votes (x3). For example, there is Song A and Song B. Song A receives 4 votes: +10 • +7 • -5 • +6 Song B receives 3 votes: +20 • +8 • -10 Song A’s total: 18 2 Song B’s total: 18 3 While Song A received more positive votes, Song B has the advantage because the +20 gives B two additional points. The negative votes take away from a song’s voting total, and if the song receives enough negative votes that after the last vote is cast for the week it’s total is a negative number, that will count against it when determining the final order.

Songs get bonus points in the event of a tie for +15 (x2) and +20 votes (x3). For example, there is Song A and Song B. Song A receives 4 votes: +10 • +7 • -5 • +6 Song B receives 3 votes: +20 • +8 • -10 Song A’s total: 18 2 Song B’s total: 18 3 While Song A received more positive votes, Song B has the advantage because the +20 gives B two additional points. The negative votes take away from a song’s voting total, and if the song receives enough negative votes that after the last vote is cast for the week it’s total is a negative number, that will count against it when determining the final order. The thought process put into this is admirable
