I think it means 2x or more cause it said 2x for candle in the wind, which apparently was 17x the number two song at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fact that Janet scored #1 singles for 15 years straight with all of her studio albums is remarkable The consistency My favs really did that Hot 100 Legends - @jezebelvictoria Same.

brianc33710 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 On 6/5/2019 at 8:51 PM, Sinister said: OTR didn't have 3x more points? CITW 97 had 17X points #2 its first wk at #1. IWALY had decent competition some weeks, but it still had a huge lead over the #2s. These are reasons why BB should put in power points for songs that had shorter chart runs but with mammoth leads over #2. Also, Harlem Shake had a huge lead over Thrift Shop, which itself had a near 2-1 lead the wk before HS came out. And, TS surged more in sales, streaming, and airplay the week of HS' debut. TS was #1 in Airplay, #1 in Sales by a huge margin, and also had a large lead over #2 on ODS. Of course, that's why HS was #4 for 2013 despite its short H 100 chart run.
