They basically name all artists that had an active era at the time, as examples. And I see artists from almost all the big labels. Dua was not exposed. The whole industry was (and we been knew)
ToxicKiss92 Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 Imagine if Shitboard will allow BTS to block Olivia with their fraudulent sales next week.

I hear leave the door open everytime I step out lol, I swear the downplaying and discrediting of songs on this site because it isn’t pop is so aggravating. Expand your palette. Leave The Door Open is #10 on Billboard's very own streaming chart and #2 on the digital sales chart Levitating is #5 and #1 (even without the filtered sales) respectively I like LTDO and I obviously don't agree that nobody's listening to it, but significantly less people listened to it this week compared to Levitating. It came out on top solely because of the airplay re-calibration and that's messed up. It had already gone #1, it didn't even need this
Britney Is Fierce Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 Misogynist, xenophobic and homophobic. **** you, Billboard!

The thing that’s so messed up about this is now of all times, one of the most anticipated #1’s in a while comes along and now of all times they decide to change the rules? Definitely some shady people behind the scenes
SinnerCity Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 The music industry DESPERATELY needs to debut a better chart cause Billboard is corrupt as ****

That was a response to the insinuating of leave the door open being irrelevant when it hasn’t left the top 5 since it’s release
naval23 Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 #BoycottBillboard #BoycottBBMVAs I understand taking out the fraudulent sales but re-tweaking the airplay formula retroactively in such a close week is messy & unprofessional af

Archetype Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 After almost a year of constant heavy promo, high tier performances in the middle of a panini, interviews, remixes on remixes on remixes, massive fan campaigns to bulk buy it like the BTS bots, and it STILL didn’t get the #1 Happy for Dua tho, this is still a massive achievement for her (especially being a British female pop artist).

I don’t think it’s fair to give any particular artists special treatment, as much as it sucks to miss out. HOWEVER, they should have weighted airplay less. The only thing more fraudulent than bulk buying from an artist’s website is radio.
MJLover Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 The meltdown S/o to Bruno for being one SMART businessman, with NO manager. He knew radio is VERY important in the Billboard formula and he promoted the song on radio shows when it dropped, also knowing that radio stations play songs for a much longer period than Spotify TTHs playlists and what have ya, ensuring longevity
cahramel Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 Levitating didn't go #1 because her fans used VPN (her biggest fanbases were telling international fans to use it despite Billboard always filtering VPN sales, remember Kris Wu?), something BTS stans don't do because BTS has fans in the US to buy and listen to their music. Butter is going #1 easily and you losers will seethe.

And those sales were only accounting some 6-8 points, even if removed, it would still give her the edge at the top compared to LTDO. Something just doesn’t add up. She had literally promoted posts in every app, I saw it myself on Twitter.

I wanted it at #1 too because the other 2 songs had already done it, but there is a ridiculous amount of threads being made to single out bts fans for doing what dua fans did all week. Its hypocrisy. And i dont see mods closing them cause I mean look at the banner. Take it up with bb not the fans
Ivan_brit Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 She probably reject them to perform at the BBMAs that’s why they change things.... I still don’t get why they took 2 days to announce it She is so humble One thing is for sure Dua will work harder for a Future #1 .... I fear That Kind of Woman for #1 in December
