JoshSpears1805 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 hi all, we can all agree that the chart billboard hot 100 isn't working in streaming era, its devaluing the chart by having lots of albums tracks in the singles chart we should either copy the uk chart rule where you can only have 3 songs maximum in the top 100 or only official singles allowed in the top 100 or only official singles and max 3 album tracks allowed in the hot 100 (this is good compromise) we can have these silly weeks where a big album randomly occupies the top 10 devaluing all chart records Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylizzle Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Seems like you should be grateful for the uneven weighting of radio play since that was the only thing keeping Hold Me Closer afloat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosque Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Why should they hot fix the charts that are working as intended? The fact that songs which are streamed a lot are high in the charts just... makes sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodflowers. Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Easy, only have songs listed under "Singles" chart over album tracks. However Billboard should also count if artists add brand new B-Side tracks attached under singles too. Let's say if Dua releases Halluciante as a single and add Physical as a B-side, streams for Physical should count to boost Hallucinate on Hot 100 That's how it used to be before streaming took over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the USA and not communist UK. Why should songs that are doing worse be above songs that are doing well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brando Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 the only way out is to end the hot 100. let the streaming charts be the only indicator of popularity. they pretty much are anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By the Water Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 They don't need to. The UK charts have some of the worst rules of all official charts and they killed the albums chart because of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squall Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 The fumes are starting ATRL when a song is airplay-driven: "radio is weighted too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ATRL when an artist takes the entire top 10 without airplay: "streaming is weighted too much!!!!!!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solaria Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 They need to return to the traditional old school rules. I don’t like that streaming can just make any album track relevant for a week or 3. Only official single releases should count for the Hot 100 and all artists should have a maximum of 5 tracks charting simultaneously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavi Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 This totally depends on your goal for the list. Want the list to show what singles are booming? Yeah, new rules should be applied. Want the list to show what songs in general are booming? No rules needed Every disccusion about whether or not to have new rules and why is pointless as long as there no common ground on what this list should show us Maybe two seperate lists are needed, who knows. I personally don't care the list shows popularity of songs overall, but it does seem a bit weird, because that isn't how the list used to work, which makes it harder to compare current achievements to previous ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
