simmnfierzig Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 No airplay, no sales.... Hot 100 predicitons are getting kinda difficult
slobro Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Not iTunes pop bars being broken now too Poor @Kworb
Recordyear Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I just saw that the pop bars being extend to top 200 However downloads these days are so small that they are quite insignificant...
Almighty Gaga Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 livepopbars have been updating their pop bars every 15-30 minutes now, instead of the 2+ hours interval between each update before . They also extended to top 200. iTunes might've changed their algorithm, which is probably why kworb and livepopbars froze for 2 days. Hopefully @Kworb is back up soon.

They're using the regular iTunes chart with fake popularity numbers. The real ones might just be down for good.

The way streaming has ruined it all. Wonder if miss @simmnfierzig will still do the predictions without iTunes and radio data being so easily accessible?

Ain't that illegal? Their paying subscribers getting fake numbers they made up under the impression they're legit. 3 hours ago, Hurem said: The way streaming has ruined it all.

And I'm confused, I see Kworb's Popbars section updated rn?

Usually when Kworb's iTunes page would go periods without updating, you would notice cause it'd say like 40.8 hours since the last update on the time elapsed part.

I wonder why you say the popularity numbers are fake, because it seems normal to me? Or is that because you just cannot fetch the popularity numbers from iTunes anymore?

They're also way too different from what they were two days ago, especially outside the top 20.
Unknown User Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Omg that’s sad Maybe it’s nature’s way of saying we should find something better to do
Rentboy Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Poor Iggy. Having an itunes moment and the charts all gone effed up on her. Let me go try find her on Spotify.

Bloodflowers. Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 as long as Spotify and YouTube are working, we are still mostly fine

Fa1x intelectual Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 So does this all mean this thread will be unpinned?
