Blue Rose Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 When a Hip Hop track becomes a hit, it's a "viral song" or a "meme" but when a pop song is #1, it's a valid hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariano Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Also I do think that BB's chart is severely inaccurate. Number 3 on digital and number 39 on hot 100 shouldn't really be possible, even if the other 2 components are like 0 0, but considering The Cure did ok on streaming too should be at least top 20..

I'm honestly thrilled Shape Of You has been dethroned. Now, can that song disappear? It comes on literally every 30 seconds on al of my stations. I mean, it's too over saturated! Castle On The Hill is so much better and should've been getting this type of success instead! I'm not really sure though. i think it might be back to #1 next week. We'll have to see @simmnfierzig's predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's official radio adds are tomorrow and that was decided after the song's success on all platforms. idc what the reason is, #39 is still not that great but everything can happen with the radio adds coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendrick at #1 with no airplay and Ed #2 with over 200M airplay shows how streaming is weighted far too heavily in the current algorithm. I can't stand Ed and would never root for him, but he honestly should be #1 still. The true travesty is the fact that Bruno will probably get blocked from that deserved #1 Ed only has 181M airplay by SoundScan measures, which is what BB uses. That is nowhere near historical, given the peak is 228M of Blurred Lines (225M peak for Happy, 190M peak for Uptown Funk, 195M for All of Me, point is there are many songs that have had stronger airplay than SOY). Meanwhile, Kendrick's 67M streaming is second only to Harlem Shake's 103M, so 67M streaming should be worth far more than 181M airplay imo.

alexanderao Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The Hot 100 definitely doesn't have any accuracy issues right now. If anything, streaming's influence needs to be increased. Billboard is irrationally stubborn about making sure sales don't fall below their current level of influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a 3:1 ratio (even though it's different metrics) and you think it should be worth more? What sense does that make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starboys Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Mariah Carey sits in her mansion. She gets the update. Ed is dethroned, and can now rest easy for another year or two until WBT and OSD are challenged again. Evil has been defeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirdWardBey Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I don't want to hear the only 5 days of sales excuse for The Cure when Formation, Sorry, Hold Up, Pray You Catch Me, 6 Inch, Freedom, and All Night all debuted higher with the same sales period.
