alexanderao Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I support this both on principle and because it's completely illogical to have them count for the Hot 100 and not for the Billboard 200. Moreover, as has been articulated already, its impact will be negligible. This reminds me of all of the fuss surrounding TEA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what's a huge flop to you? Pure sales? Those are obselete at this point. BB200 does reflect the most popular albums. Your opinion on how they've decided to do it doesn't mean they're missing the point, it's their creation... Your thinking is really outdated. These albums are getting streamed. You don't see half of them with major smash hits, but the album track streams are consistent. A lot of these albums aren't even getting singles until after they see how the album cuts perform. Hundreds of millions of people are streaming music now. They're/our streams matter more than the few hundred thousand still purchasing. How anyone still thinks the opposite in 2019, I... Honey, nowhere in my post I did say that streaming is not the future. And no, not all of these albums are getting entirely streamed and yes, they are missing their point, which it is to reflect the most popular albums of the week on the USA. The thing is, like I said before, an album can get a considerable boost on the BB200 with just one of it's songs being played - The point is: They should be counting the amount of times an album is streamed to the charts and not the total amount of streams of all tracks combined.

Mr.Link Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 This is tragic by every metric. Payola fueled artists will only inflate their stats even more. Hopefully this will encourage labels to invest in more quality videos. They were getting lazy, some songs dont even have music videos or very cheap ones.

ATRL Moderator Samson Posted February 9, 2019 ATRL Moderator Share Posted February 9, 2019 14 minutes ago, Clueless said: they didn't already count? no, and the reason why is mostly industry pressure. the music industry hates youtube because of how it's a free-for-all environment with the messy uploads as well as the fact that their payout is so grossly low compared to other services. the avg spotify streamer makes $24 USD in one year; the avg youtube streamer makes <$1 USD in one year. 11 minutes ago, liberalmusiclover said: People are against this? Isn’t YouTube Music a legitimate streaming service? people here r only against it bc they have this idea that youtube payola is a major thing or something idek youtube music is technically a legit streaming service which is why the UK counts it towards their songs chart and not unofficial uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walk_Away21 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Honestly who even cares anymore The charts are so different nowadays and less important. All about enjoying the music since we don't need to worry about getting a hit to be able to hear our fave on the radio. We can stream it on demand thank god.
