Nevermind then I thought it was a collaboration between a big publication and predictors. I am not mad about the CS situation, it’s just annoying that they don’t wait a day or two (so when they have actual data) before messing up with bases. It took them a day to post something like « oh wait, that Oliver guy can still be #1 », it just looks unserious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the other day they tweeted its gonna be CS vs Luke Combs, and in the meantime, this country song soared on Spotify, reaching a new peak, so ofc they had to tweet it could reach #1, otherwise Swifties would've killed them if they made them think Taylor has a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slas Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 This song's trajectory has been extremely unpredictable and arguably inorganic with the Fox News coverage, so I don't fault inaccuracies and messiness here at all tbh It was falling hard on Wednesday (his songs were collapsing on iTunes and it clearly fell on streaming) and looked like it was following the Try That In A Small Town blueprint, now suddenly it gets a huge boost once again... definitely right wing news outlets to blame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukascharts Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 1 hour ago, Squall said: TOTC is just a joke at this point, shut up with speculations until you have REAL informations 1 hour ago, NewStanner said: This, they're so quick to post literally anything, just to gain as much interactions on their tweets as possible Truly attention seekers If TOTC actually wanted as much interactions on their tweets as possible, they would've just pretended that CS was #1 or close to #1 on the Hot 100 for as long as they could throughout the week. Last tracking week, the moment Rich Men was predicted to be #1 by a large margin, their interactions started to decrease. Also only Fast Car/Cruel Summer challenging for #1 was not a "speculation" unless you think ChartData was speculating by posting the exact same thing last night. It is quite clear that those were the only two songs challenging for #1 yesterday and Rich Men is only challenging this week due to a large gain in streaming on Friday. And as far as the main predictors go, only Lip uses the TOTC account, so the account isn't stealing anything (if you were wondering about that). 1 hour ago, Green said: 2 days ago: TOTC: Rich Men expected to fall hard on streams (just because it fell to #3 on spotify despite of still being #1 on apple and youtube) Today: TOTC: Rich Men contender to #1 The song fell 10% on Wednesday on Spotify. Staying #1 on platforms such as Apple Music doesn't mean anything when it could've just decreased 10% on that platform as well (we will never know since that platform doesn't show numbers). If it kept decreasing 10% in streams each day, it would've collapsed. However, since it's increasing again, it's fighting for #1 for a second week (with more streams and less sales compared to the first week). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like their speculations are going to change what's #1 next week. They'll just embarrass themselves if they're wrong. I never understood why some people think chart predictions effect the real chart. Like if they predict Vampire to be #1 next week, it's going to have no effect on anything. They'll just be wrong and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
