If people buying the same song they like multiple times shouldn't, listening to it multiple times also shouldn't. What's the difference with the exception that money is spent buying it.

Punky Rooster Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 8 hours ago, private radio said: it IS not, though. streaming services filter it as well if anything like the reply below, I don't get the logic because purchasing multiple (not even talking about versions, let's talk about the same digital copy), what is the use of that? people listening to the song on repeat, means they do enjoy it. and it's only up to a certain number of repeats where it would classify as spam (and they have the right to esp when it's repeated on a spam playlist without even listening to the song or on low volume). and quickly, name other acts that benefit from mass buying digital mp3's via the same people? would this concept even exist if it wasn't for charts? I believe you can listen to a song 10 times a day on some streaming services and all 10 plays will count towards the chart. So why can't you buy a song 10 times a day? I don't get the logic - if you value a song enough or an artist enough to support them by spending $ on buying their track multiple times, what's the issue? Both ways are easily manipulated - it's just the big 3 or 4 record companies trying to dictate what does and doesn't become a hit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the assumption when you buy a song is that you will listen to it several times...in fact one sale is equal to over a THOUSAND listens. Sure both metrics can be manipulated, but its magnitudes easier to fraud your way through pure sales rather than streams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sales hold more weight as they are sales, not streams. the same way as paid streams hold more weight than free streams - so should paid streams be limited to a certain number as well, as they have a monetary value of some sort? It's just so ridiculous now days, just abolish the charts or let it be a free for all IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor has GP support, streaming, and a fan base that isn’t 10,000 people being crowd funded. She’ll be fine. If BTS fans focus on streaming they might be fine. And I personally don’t care if artists release 20 remixes but the crowdfunding is too far. If BTS want to make remixes then fine, almost every pop girl minus Adele and a few others have done it, so can they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesthetic bih Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) On 1/12/2022 at 7:55 AM, BTS said: BTS aren’t gonna stop getting #1s They have enough fans that 1 sale per person won’t affect their debuts. If anything its just gonna hurt their longevity. Definitely no more 10 week #1s unless they could combat this with more remixes () & their radioplay has been solid lately. Sure, but this chart rule change is much better. BTS hitting #1 was never an issue for me but it was their fans' fraudulent ways to get that #1 (i.e. the same 5,000-10,000 people crowd funding and mass buying).
