What is Rafranz gonna do with all the copies she bought from this trash

BTS is truly worst thing that happened to the charts. The fraudulence is just too much.  

And Billboard is to blame for this happening. They had a chance to correct this problem in early 2020, but they decided to get rid of UGC streams instead (and that inadvertently helped radio heavy songs that long peaked, as evidenced by the re-entry of songs like I Don’t Care and Sucker).

 

The warning signs were there with HITR and Heartless going #1 in late 2019, but Billboard ignored it.

Perched for it to drop like a meteor next week

Taylor's about to lose her biggest drop from #1 record

Dynamite and Savage Love were actually big hits in late 2020. They were so big, they stopped WAP from getting more than 4 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100.

 

Butter and My Universe were moderate hits.

Dynamite only rivaled WAP on the hot 100 because there were mass buying campaigns EVERY week. WAP was a phenomenon that broke streaming records, and the fact that Dynamite spent as much time at #1 as it did during WAP's peak just goes to show how meaningless Billboard's charts really are at representing what is actually popular.

Wait what

Please  

Another example of why nobody takes Billboard charts seriously 

 

The real embarrassment this week is Ed Sheeran not debuting in the top 10. I know he's fuming right now.

I really hope the stans don't turn this into another Butter situation.

#1 in sales (254K) 

#35 in streaming (10M streams)

N/A in radio (64,000 AI) 

= #1 on Hot 100 

 

 

Well this is closer to what people on this site want the hot 100 to be like considering they hate radio so much

Dynamite hit #1 on bb global 200 multi weeks, a chart without mass buying sales (no website sales).

clearly it’s a global smash.

 

Dynamite also debut with 34M+ streams in US, that’s alone enough for a Top 5 debut on hot 100.

 

Dynamite also reach Top 5 on Pop Radio and a Top 10 overall Radio.

 

both Dynamite & Butter debut at #2 (blocked by WAP & G4U both monster hits) and spent multi weeks in the top 10 on Rollingstone Chart (a chart without mass buying sales).

 

also My Universe finaly debut #1 on Rolling Stone chart (because a weak competition)

 

it’s clearly a HIT.

A #35 peak on streaming is tragic for a Hot 100 #1

I feel like the Hot 100 could be improved if we did 3 things:

 

1. Remove sales

2. Lower the weight of radio

3. Reinstate UGC streams

 

Maybe we’ll get a chart that reflects what’s really popular (like we did pre-2020).

To be fair Dynamite was a massive bop and I remember hearing it everywhere, but I’ve never even heard WAP once. 

Billboard is really a joke now

Sales shouldn't be removed entirely, but 230 thousand people buying shouldn't out-impact millions of streams

one is a generic kids song the other a hyper explicit rap song. no wonder you didn't hear it out in public

There should be new rules on remixes 

Bye bye Flowers

 

 

Terrible 

 

Watch it pull a #1-OUT 

 

The fact it practically has no radio and only 10M streams yet the b0ts want to still defend it and act like its a "hit" 

This will keep happening because of the online engagement it gives Billboard.

 

They said clout over integrity.

You hate songs staying long in the top 10, but you want reinstatement of UGC streams?
