RIH COMING TO SAVE THE GIRLS 

 

Oh wow. Ummm. I'm Shook. Name?

[D_Man3379]

That tragic top 10. Yikes. 

 

Ands it's not just that pop girls are missing, but majority of those songs are utter garbage. Sans Bruno and Kendrick, most of those men are dull or basic.

 Truly Trumps America.

Stream is the problem

Funny how I mentioned the double counting aspects a year or so ago and people are now seeing the problem when something that is predominantly free for many gets incorporated when it's already being tracked in other ways.

 

Streaming is necessary to include but the weight of it has become the problem and it's only going to get worse and more females bar Rihanna are going to depend on male artists in one way or another to get hits. 

The regressive aspects of it...

Streaming didn't have a problem with Females in 2014:

 

8 songs by females in the top 10 of Streaming Songs

This week however there is only one as a featured act (Alessia Cara) in the top 20 at #19

If only Emily Warren got her rightful credit on Paris.  It wouldn't matter tho, it'd just be set next week anyway.

Straight dudes love streaming 

I actually wish we could use this excuse but I saw some tea that said more women use Spotify and Youtube than men

I don't see how this affects female artists more than male artists.

But isn't it free for both men and women? Make and female artists? I'm so confused by your post tbh. 

 

Unless you just meant streaming is more male oriented and thus make artists will benefit more?!

Yes she will

That article is so dumb... It should have been a single sentence.  

 

Quote

superstars including Swift, Adele, Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, Perry, Rihanna and others have regularly visited the bracket

 

Does anyone who reads billboard magazine articles not know that?

2. Justin Bieber
3. Rihanna
4. Twenty One Pilots
5. Kanye West

The Purpose Era landed him in the top 2, which is also the era where it's cool to listen to Justin regardless of gender

rip

[sadnews]

streaming is not the problem, gender is not the problem lol 

many pop hits, female pop artists had no problem going top 10 in 2015~2016.

Yes. Oddly enough yu'd think that streaming would be dominated by females as men can listen to their favorite pop females without judgment but this works against females that relied on other visual aspects to sell a song on itunes and push albums.

Men don't really have to do as much as long as the song is relatable.

So because males are more streamed than females, the metric is inaccurate?  

 

Edit: I see what you're getting at, I took the context weirdly. Yeah there's some relationship between "double-counting" + gender + streaming popularity, but I don't think we've seen enough evidence that extra points are being racked up by fans who purchase the song, and then stream it perpetually. Either way, wouldn't it make more sense to eliminate sales from the formula at that point?
