How is that situation comparable?

Both of them blocked #2 song with half of its streams which was the problem the post i qouted was talking about.

In my opinion, the credibility of the Hot 100 is at stake. If Rich Flex isn’t #1 on the 11/19 chart, the Hot 100 is no longer a reputable chart. As I said earlier in the thread, the charts are broken if a song with less than 15M streams stays at #1 for weeks on end, while another song with 60M streams get blocked from #1 in the same quarter.

 

Let’s hope Billboard does the right thing and filter out some of those Anti-Hero sales, like they did with Lift Me Up the previous week.

They need to filter a lot of its 250k+ sales

This comment serving "I don't like Taylor so Billboard should delete some of her legitimate sales to block her from staying at #1". 

 

Billboard didn't filter any sales from Lift Me Up afaik.

Except EOM blocking WDTAB made sense since it was massive on radio with great callout scores throughout its entire run, meanwhile, your fave used tricks to stay #1. Not comparable, sweetie.

The Hot100 has three components: sales, radio, streams. Taylor is doing great in two (radio and streams) and spectacular in the other (sales). Drake is doing spectacular in one (streams) and zero in the other two. Anti-Hero is a hit and she'll get that 3rd week at #1 as she should.

Say it louder

girl. What credibility. The only people who care about the Hot 100 are major label artist’s and their HARDCORE fanbases. The GP could not give a flying **** about this silly little chart.  that’s why it sends me y’all are so up in arms about this. Make your own chart if you don’t like the Hot 100, or refer to the individual metric charts for airplay, streaming, sales and choose the one that matters most to you.

Doing the most. Didn't Anti-Hero do 29m streams this week (not 15m)? And its sales are legit as she sold remixes of the song, not the very same song with a different digital artwork like Rihanna did. There is nothing to filter.

The 15M was As It Was streaming total during its final weeks at #1. Rich Flex has more streams this week than AIW had in its final 4 weeks at #1. So, basically in the same quarter, 60M gets AIW 4 weeks at #1 and might not be good enough Rich Flex a week at #1. To me, there’s something wrong with that.

Lol. I think it bothers Taylor that she’ll never have the appeal of Drake. His reach is miles above hers (and everyone else). Effortless slaughtering year after year. 

Monthly listeners on Spotify says otherwise.

Unfortunately, that doesn't change the fact that both used other components to overtake massive streaming difference. If selling digital songs is a trick, so is radio spamming.

How am I supposed to believe that 250k sales figure for Anti-Hero is true, considering it sold 15.3k sales in Week 1 and 19.3k sales in Week 2? If you said 25k sales, it might be believable. But songs don't suddenly jump more than 10-fold in sales from Week 2 to Week 3 unless there is a huge jump in streaming, and this song went from 63.4M streams in Week 1 to 35.5M streams in Week 2, and ~30M streams in Week 3. It's pretty obvious that the 250k sales number is fraudulent.

Happens that the competition is a lot stronger in some weeks that in others.

Midnights being #2 on the BB200 this week with one of the best weeks of the year is also annoying

People bought the album so there was no reason to also buy the song.

Now she released remixes that people also want to buy, because there are extremely different than the album version

So the exact same thing you and your butt buddies did last week?

Different measures for different weeks. ME! debuted with 700+ points in 2019 and still ended up at #2. Last week's #1 didn't even have 400 points.

Taylor is known for her capability to pull such gigantic sales, I mean Midnight itself did 1M+ pure sales. Rihanna has no such records, her game is more on longevity. This is also the main reason why she couldn't hit #1 on BB200 for her first seven album, and she never debuted at #1 on BBH100.

Tbh it’s been dead since 2020. I really don’t take it seriously anymore at this point since it’s completely fraudulent now with bulk buying and payola. 

 

I’m sure Taylor’s got at least 2-4 more remixes to drop for the next 5-6 weeks every week.

He clearly does care about charts though when he slapped on Jimmy Cooks to his house project because he was worried he wouldn't get a #1. The fact that the CLOSING song got the #1 says everything you need to know.

if this were the case, then it would have been a single at the time. instead, it was released as one an entire four months later with the sole purpose of announcing Her Loss and its release date.

Taylor doesnt need anything to stay #1 on the Hot 100 in the next weeks

what the hell

[Klein]

How much has sold the current #1? This seems way too insane to be true.  

[Headlock]

[TrieLz]

She’s coming for 300k digital sales from the remix? 

[FAN]

If she had that many sales and such a big lead, why did they keep releasing remixes? Seems odd not to save them
