BlueTimberwolf Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 I would argue Levitating is the most popular song this week, even without the fraud sales. Bruno is the KING of radio payola. They spam his stuff on every format almost non-stop.
.Odyssey. Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 @BlackoutZone @Shoful Me thinks a certain fanbase still deserves a consolation prize for its efforts...
Brooklyn Baby Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 Everyone better stream and buy the f*** out of the DL3 lead single. Justice for DSN and Levitating

I can already see the headline "BTS scores 4th #1" in 2 weeks. They might filter a bit, but you can't tell me that 100k-200k sales will be purely from US stans buying ONE copy. If they want to investigate it properly, they need to do it with every act and stop cherry picking. In my opinion, all of BTS's #1 hits have been fraudulent. Their #1 next week will also be fraudulent. However, Billboard is going to continue to cherry pick. This is because every week when BTS goes #1, thousands of BTS fans visit Billboard's websites, and gives them a ton of traffic. Then Billboard benefits from getting more ad-revenue. Again, I don't agree with this. I wish Billboard only counted one copy per buyer. But they are a business after all, and BTS stans are far more valuable than Dua stans.

THAT is "low competiton" in your books? Mainly referring to everything else being low competition, hence why she was top 2 instead of just outside top 5 like with "New Rules." Sorry Dua didn't get the #1, but "Leave The Door Open" was just the bigger song, and she would have needed illegal fraud to overcome that disparity. Maybe next time? But again, she doesn't have the US fanbase, as shown by the lackluster performance of "We're Good" so far.
Inner Insanity Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 You made us wait 48 whole extra hours just announce this tragic news? **** you Billboard.
Rodrighost Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 oh wow... I love Dua but I love seeing ATRL lose even more

Don't Start Now was blocked by two of the biggest smash hits of the decade (BL being one of the biggest songs of all time). Life Is Good and Circles were also two of the songs smashing around the time DSN hit #2. Are they also "low competition"? You are simply delusional if you think it wasn't a huge hit. And New Rules peaked on streaming WAY early because US radio was super late to jump on the song, hence the #6 peak. Also, Levitating is literally pulling higher streams and sales than Leave The Door Open. It is bigger, sorry. Edited May 19, 2021 by State of Grace.

Personally I hate Dababy since he's a woman beater so seeing him lose makes me happy I HATE that she added him to the track. Women need to stop uplifting abusers

I think it’s pretty easy to dispute the claim that LTDO is “the bigger song” when it is clearly lower in sales and streams, needing not only 27 million more in airplay impressions, but also an adjustment to the way airplay is estimated in the first place to overcome the points gap represented by actual direct-to-consumer methods of consumption.
Scorp Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 81 members I spoke with Bruno he KNOWS he doesn't have the #1 .
