St. Charles Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 What about letting alternate / acoustic / instrumental versions of a song count for streams and sales, but only after a few weeks of release? I hate the "bundle and rush to #1" tactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTS Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Even I didn’t think it would be this high Personally I’ve only bought one version Lemme buy the other 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyysat Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I think this is like a TROLLZ situation. The fandom is very happy and get the achievements they want, a bragging right for the rest of their life. But the general impression (non-fans) about their artist and fans, the bad-taste in the GP mouth is gonna stay for long, not to mention it barely makes a dent in the West and hardly considered as a hit. But the fandom power is undeniable large and loyal, so congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chainsmoker Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Not 4 versions of the same song and they are all discounted. They REALLY WANT that #1. Edited August 24, 2020 by Chainsmoker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. this has happened the whole year too most of the 1# debuts today, dont have more than 2 weeks in the top 10 Edited August 24, 2020 by Rev8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genio Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Billboard is definitely going to change rules if everyone follows suit. I think they will allow only one version of a single to count for sales. But I'm here for BTS snatching a #1 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 Not some of ya’ll thinking all these #1s in one charting year is new. Look at the #1 hits from the late 80s-early 90s before SoundScan was invented. There were 26 different #1s in 1990 There were 27 different #1s in 1991 There were 33 different #1s in 1989 They were finding loopholes then, and they still are now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Claire Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 All that and by two weeks (or even before that) those versions will be outside top 500 and the main song leaving top 100 As of hot 100, it'll be lucky to chart for 5 weeks. Ain't nobody checking this outside their obsessive stans and a few pop culture entusiasts. Billboard needs to change their formula to dictate what's an actual #1 hit or not.
