#Beautiful Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 12 minutes ago, SleepNoMore said: What is the reason for this? I understand why bundles stopped counting but if you’re actually buying a song itself who cares if it’s from the artists website. A song purchase should count regardless of whether it’s from a website or iTunes or wherever. I don’t get this at all. people were making fundraisers on twitter in order to fraudulently mass buy songs on release week. no one was actually consuming the song from the files. so no, it hasnt been a valid way to consider music consumption since like... 2015 when streaming kicked in 7 1
@michael Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 Hot 100 change their rules like every week. What’s the point of rules? 2

Gui Blackout Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 I get that it was being corrupted (see BTS stans), but I think this taking a bit too far... 1

It is till you get artists release 99 versions of a song because they know their fans will flock to purchase just to get a #1 debut, it’s artists like that that’s ruined it for other artists who don’t take advantage of the rules. 1 1
chiliam Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 oh woa, miss Taylor and her remixes are over huh but this also mean we might get more cds/vinyl for singles.

Park Jinyoung Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 Objectively good but can BB stop changing their rules so often it looks so unserious 1
Shimenawa Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Will the Spotify, Youtube, Tik Tok and Radio payola stop counting also? Edited June 30, 2023 by Shimenawa

But they can still release 99 versions on iTunes. Billboard needs to make a rule where only 5 versions (max) of the same song could count towards the chart.

On website you can just add a US address & billing details and since it's digital downloads it doesn't matter.
drivers license Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 what y’all not getting is that it was a valid way for music consumption, until artists ABUSED it. this is only fair. who actually cares about those digitally signed mp3’s with 5 different covers other than chart obsessed fans. it’s such bullshit i’m glad billboard sees it 4

Mel. Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 BTS’ label already found a way around this by selling Jungkook’s upcoming single by labeling it a physical single and and selling it for basically the same price as a digital single
Punky Rooster Posted June 30, 2023 Posted June 30, 2023 Another ridiculous nail in this now irrelevant charts coffin. buy a track it doesn’t count, stream 30 seconds of it on mute, it counts
