Why are you comparing a remix that is sent out later in the songs charting to one out in it's initial week comparing oranges to tangerines. Remixes are out there for multiple reasons: the artistic reason and the other for peaks and longevity. I'm not getting your point of saying artist release remixes to get to #1...some artist have to in order to get to #1 but you seem to be conflating different ideas. there's no point in pretending this is comparable to a remix released weeks or months into a song's success like Rockstar or even if a song is flopping and needs a remix to revamp it. The thing is: Billboard allows this. The issue started with billboard allowing bundles for albums and singles to tip the scales. You already have different eras of charting where there was a taint opening things up for manipulation but all those exist now and artist have now added bundles to include in a measurement of popularity when it doesn't actually measure popularity. It measures popularity + whatever stans decide to mass purchase which isn't a Hot 100/Billboard 200 objective. Otherwise, artists would release their singles for 10 cents and albums for 25 cents but there are reasons why those wouldn't count. Just like bot streams are discounted. To me, there's no bigger irony in how Billboard has allowed the scales to completely tip over in now we are in a pandemic and all of the artists who can't do it organically have come out to scam the game. THIS is why Billboard should have changed the rules correctly in the beginning of the bundles mess I love when my initial beliefs get proven. ATRLers tried to say otherwise but my point is proven with bundles as it was with double counting streaming and artist using certs of the double counting against older albums. Trollz much like Savage, Say so, those forgettable travis song and that forgettable ariana/justing song continue to prove my point Love that for me. You think I'm going to bother reading that essay? You care WAY too much girl. Seethe!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artists should focus on getting real hits to build their legacy, not these one week #1s no one will remember anyways. But artists don't measure and rank the #s billboard does. Also, artist who do these things know they are not respected artists that care about real hits. You think Bieber and Ariana expected theirs to be a real hit. No, they want accolades even if they are * If an artist scams and games the system, its because Billboard allows it. It's gone from bundles to artists releasing various versions and remixes their first week. That happens because billboard allows it. that's the issue...the scales have tipped over and we've seen this since the pandemic. It's not the artists fault for taken advantage of it...look how many people have put out multiple versions of songs within a week, bundles etc. since March. They clearly want it but Billboard won't accept an album or single sold for less than a certain amount. People are going to continue to scam the game as long as it is allowed.
