I'm definitely sure Rumor Has It could've been the 4th #1.

 

It peaked at #16 after the Glee cover.

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.

Sales should always be highly influential when calculating the Hot 100, or any chart tbh. It reflects true popularity tbh, imo.

Sales do not reflect popularity as much as streaming. Billboard will never be able to calculate how many times a person listens to a song through sales. You can buy a song, but only play it once! While streaming is showing the longevity of the song and how much it's being consumed!

And by the same token, you can listen to a song 100 times, but you're still only one person that has heard the song 100 times.

SOY is at 39.5M streams and Billboard didn't give TWIL streaming but I have it at 34M

But 1 stream does not have the same impact on Billboard as 1 sale!

Waiting for kworb estimates, but it looks like it's basically a 3 way tie for next week between Humble, SOY and TWIL :rip:

If 500 people got together and listened to a song 500 times, does that make it "more popular" than 250 different people getting together and purchasing a song? No. Sales reflect what people are buying, which is more of a testament of popularity than streaming.

Bruno's song will probably be discounted now.

You're not even using the right formula! The formula is 150 streams = 1 sale! So if 250 people bought a song, that equals 37,500 people streaming one song one time!

Why should sales maintain their influence when they're falling off a cliff? Over the last three years, the proportion of music consumers that buy music has drastically decreased. As such, sales are becoming far less representative of consumption than they were before. It follows, then, that their influence on the Hot 100 should decrease. The opposite phenomenon is happening with streaming, which is becoming more representative of the music-consuming public—such a trend merits an increased influence on the Hot 100. To reiterate, I fail to understand how one can advocate for sales keeping their current influence on the Hot 100 as the demographic base that it represents is becoming increasingly unlikely that of the music-consuming public.

 

Regardless, sales are actually a flawed measurement of popularity in the first place. Sales are incapable of monitoring listener activity after the initial purchase. Imagine a hypothetical in which I buy a song and you buy the same song. Over a certain time period, I spin the track 500 times, but you only do so 20 times. If you're using sales to measure that song's popularity, our activity is counted as exactly equal, because we each bought the song once. Does that seem accurate?

 

The upside to streaming is that spins after the initial discovery of a song are logged without a problem and factored into the popularity measurement.
