Cruel Summer Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Looks like consensus is building among predictors that she got it. It’ll be so exciting - a truly historic moment in Hot 100 history, the first time it’s ever been done. There’s just nobody like her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they? The chart reflects the most consumed songs for the week. If the 10 most consumed songs for the week are all Taylor’s that’s not her fault.

And its not only streaming but also sales, radio and so on so what i pointed out is that the streaming factor might be too high in the Hot 100 formula.

Streaming and sales are what people are choosing to listen to.. radio is just what corporate executives want everyone to hear, with little to no input from the listeners. How are those songs any more “consumed” than songs that people actually decided to stream? I’m not attacking your opinion by the way. .Just offering a rebuttal. I get what you mean. It shouldn’t be the norm for songs to flood the charts. But it’s not a new thing, and only few artists can achieve it — usually Drake and Taylor. Taylor has so many top 10s because she used to sell so well on iTunes that even her album tracks and promo singles would peak high even with 0 airplay. Now she’s just graduated to doing the same thing because of streaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio is still really high in the formula, but those audience continue to get lower And well sales are completely dead.... And 1 sale is worth very much. Like multiple times more than 10 years ago And there is no "and so on". I certainly couldnt think of anything else you could add to the Hot 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where you're coming from but Radio is already very high...It's the main complain of k pop fans.Korean artists never get played on the radio but are still very consumed.

If the 10 most consumed songs for the week are all Taylor’s that’s not her fault. The chart stopped reflecting the most consumed songs for the week when As It Was stole a bunch of weeks from songs like Running Up That Hill this summer due to incessant radio play. RUTH was clearly bigger than AIW most of those weeks. AIW got 15 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 despite only 2 weeks at #1 on streaming and a week at #1 on sales. Billboard should reduce the weight of radio counting towards the Hot 100, and I'd argue that sales should be eliminated altogether especially after the way several songs (especially Butter) manipulated the charts in 2020/2021.

While I think a few predictors are mistakenly underestimating other tracks like Bejeweled and Question, I heard that Bigger Than The Whole Sky is finding a niche among women who have experienced miscarriages. It’s also one of the 3am tracks - there’s a reasonably large number of people who would have already bought the standard edition of the album by the time they found out the extra tracks exist, and there’s few enough of those extra tracks that iTunes and other digital retailers wouldn’t consider buying them individually to be an album sale, so they wouldn’t get grouped together. tl;dr the 3am Edition makes it wonky and it also found its own niche to get a few additional sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTTWS is the most beautiful song on the album, it made me emotional before even making the miscarriage connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
