Arthoe Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Tbh with how little copies are currently sold on iTunes, this is not that impressive anymore. Leads for new singles will always be astronomically high the first week. Also I think the combined lead with this data is actually 675% Edited August 24, 2020 by Arthoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't touched math in years (especially statistics lmao), but if you take, for example, that the #1 song is doing 1 sale, then #2 is doing 0.66 sales at the same time, while #3 is doing 0.52 sales, #4 is doing 0.44 sales, and WAP's doing 0.39 sales. Dynamite, totaled up, is around 2.62 sales when WAP is at 0.39 sales. 0.39 is 15% of 2.62 sales so Dynamite is selling 85% more than WAP at the same time. I think I'm wrong cause i never took statistics. Edited August 24, 2020 by Sombre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally shameless How many #1’s will be bought on the Hot 100 this year? This might be the 3rd? 4th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartierdelrey Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 This is actually disgusting. Billboard needs to get on their ass QUICKLY because this will undermine if the Hot 100 actually measures if a song is a legitimate hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for artists wanting #1s but when it's desperate like this with a song that isn't going to have any impact... it just becomes a chart position and not a hit that anyone is going to remember in 10 months time let alone 10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
