makes total sense. the overreactions here get over it this is the streaming era

That isn't exactly the point. I mean we already had albums that despite being huge flops were able to chart high due to having only one hit song... Now that's going to happen more than ever, and considering the BB200 should reflect the most popular albums, the chart is missing completely its point.

It’d literally make almost no difference. 

10 million YouTube views would only count as 3K sales with 1:3750 weighing. Even 30 million views in a week (4 million+ per day) would only be 8K sales.
 
Majority of the #1 songs on YouTube US don’t get 30 million in a week. 
 

This to be honest...?

This was bound to happen, and like iHype mentioned, it's not going be that big of a deal anyways.

Not really mad about this because it’ll help Taylor if anything lol. But as mentioned it’ll barely make a dent anyway so ??‍♂️

I think this is fair. If Spotify and Apple Music count towards the album charts so should Youtube
