If that was possible, why didn't they do the same to help NRO views? ? and why would they randomly increase BA views out of all her music videos?

YouTube are paying the least per stream of the major music streaming services, so Billboard were under pressure from the artists and labels to change the weightings.

Taemira Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I think it's because YouTube has been forcing the audience to watch too many advertisements since YouTube Premium. People are tired of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariano Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 That previous algorithm or whatever they had was extremely fake and manipulated.... these videos getting to 1-2-3B views was always a huge mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's not Katy's team, it's Youtube's algorithm doing weird stuff But the BA thing was clearly a glitch, youtube algorithm is constantly pushing that song, maybe it has something to do with ads and stuff.

Balthier Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Latin America is not using English music at all since 2017, the last huge English smash on LAT was Shape of you (Señorita is doing pretty well now tho) Look at the Spotify or YouTube charts for Latin American countries and you will see how local the market is right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridayteenage Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) okay, let's examine US Youtube last week: 1-10 100% english 11-20 70% english 21-30 80% english 31-40 90% english So 85% english. Given how weak English-language songs are on the global T40 Youtube, it's obvious that it's not the US driving Youtube Edited August 25, 2019 by fridayteenage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
