If he release 5 version & shipped the physical CD’s at the same week then yeah he could pull 300-400k Jungkook & V’s solo stan is much bigger than Jimin. Left & Right was a good song. They should have bought that song instead.
Superbitch Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 Lmaooo. BB is such a joke. Remember how hard they tried to block dua and they still allow this to happen that lady rafranz on twitter is behind this.

This will never make any sense and that song ended up being the #1 song of the year. Wtf is going on? Billboard just keeps losing credibility.

Billboard is so shameless sometimes They didn't just cut the sales they also changed the radio formula that week. Even with the removed sales Levitating was still #1. They spent three days behind closed doors and dropped radio importance for that week randomly out of nowhere. Then they boosted it back up later on lol.
Shaner69 Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Ladies and gentlemen or any pronoun you identify with this guy has the #1 song in America. Edited April 5, 2023 by Shaner69
Ratviolo Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 This is absolutely ridiculous. Just ban them from charting altogether

The Top 4 of Pop and overall radio hasn’t changed in over a month now. The songs at 5 and 6 on Pop are still gaining and are months old. This is absolutely absurd. We need to start giving more songs the Break My Soul treatment, and stop pushing them after 8-10 weeks. It will make the charts faster moving and fresher. Edited April 5, 2023 by pride4jc1222
thetea Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 i thought billboard had put an end to mass buying? its gonna be funny seeing how much it falls next week, taylor’s record is unsafe
genetic fail Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 I really fail to see what the fans get out of this? They could've used that money to pay for therapy...

They pool money together, then someone from the U.S. would create accounts and buy four copies each on their website and on digital stores. It's really effed up.
fridayteenage Posted April 7, 2023 Posted April 7, 2023 no, the limit for digital copies is 1. however, there's remixes.

Pretty messed up how Billboard has a rule in place to remove UGC streams for over 3 years now, but nothing in place to address mass sales/remixes. I feel like most of this mass buying nonsense can be eliminated if Billboard only allows one remix of a song that counts towards the Hot 100, as well as restricting the amount of copies across all versions of a song to one per customer.

They knew it was coming. HITR and Heartless going to #1 then quickly falling off in late 2019 were the warning signs, and Billboard just decided to ignore it. More than three years has passed now, and Billboard still hasn't fully addressed the situation. I posted the #1s from 2020, and about half of them are forgettable now. That was the year it was clear and apparent Billboard lost its credibility. And that credibility won't be restored until Billboard addresses the mass buying situation. I couldn’t agree anymore. I don’t like how radio is weighing so much. Not when the song isn’t being consumed at all. I won’t make titles out of respect. But when you got 20 of the 40 songs on the pop airplay chart not on the chart, it says a lot about how payola comes into play. But at least when something is played over and over it is remembered and you can call it a hit. To let a song be number 1 from pure hype and then fall 30 spots the next week and off two weeks later is ridiculous. These album cuts that chart like Morgan wallen. Only to fall off within a couple weeks. It’s all just stupid because it’s not really popular if it’s based off hype alone. Hype and popularity are two separate terms. I feel the chart was the most accurate between 1958-1994 and between 2002-2017. Around 2018, we really saw a big change in the chart and it wasn’t good. Look at songs like you by regard, this feeling by the chainsmokers, forget me by Lewis capaldi, 2 be loved by lizzo, and Bloody Mary. The streams and sales were all bad. But because of radio, that’s how they got pushed. If it wouldn’t of been due to that, they would’ve picked way lower. So radio really needs to find what’s popular out here by the gp and not by the record labels and billboard needs to fix the formula to where stream has some cut off clause and album cuts as well. That’s just my opinion about it.
