charts discussion Billboard filters thousands of sales for “Lose Control”, suspicious sales activity

[KatyPrismSpirit]

Chile, a mess

 

[Katamari]

ended the teddy bears 

[TROPICUM]

he’s losing control

[NEX]

Now filter out sales from the Hot 100 formula entirely. They bring nothing but fraudulent #1s. 

[Raver]

Fraud ass song 

 

[KatyPrismSpirit]

we aint forget  a khia suddenly getting so much sales is a fraud

 

[Revolution]

lock this fraud up. this is disgusting.

[Red Velvet]

His team need to be serious

 

He does not have the fanbase to pull off mass-buying on itunes

the audacity to do it without a fanbase, like no average listener gonna buy 9 versions of a song. let alone buy it once

[TaylorNation]

do BTS next 

[Pheromosa]

who the hell is this 

[KOMH]

I remember when they did the same for Benson Boone a week prior. Warner and their never ending fraud

[Ger]

Yeah, it was bad for the Teddy Bears.

[punisher]

why is his label wasting so much money trying to get #1?

it’s not like billboard gives them a complimentary 1 million dollars for that feat

[Solaria]

Warner always involved in frauDUAlent activity 

[LustSpell]

It was so obvious on their end. At specific times of the day (the literal last day of tracking) they all shot into the top 20 to try and influence sales. Like, he does not have the fanbase to plan out mass buying on such a precise scale. It was so obviously label planned   

[KatyPrismSpirit]

I always wonder why? Like why do you want to go #1 this way. Won’t you feel guilt or undeserving? Its so odd

[Miley Cyrus]

But none for pop girls?? Okay…

I've been saying this since January 2020, after Heartless and HitR went to #1 aided by fraudulent sales tactics.

[Popboi.]

Obvious industry plants can't thrive 

[lillavend3r]

Warner Records always at the scene of the crime. How is the hell two khias signed to Warner in the top 3 

 

[TeamThiem]

LMAO!

 

So what is the end result of all this?

 

Will he not be #1 next week?

 

 

[KatyPrismSpirit]

I dont think filtering out sales completely is the solution. The right solution would be to put a max on these dumb versions. Only count 2 versions max. Let those sped up, slowed down versions chart seperately, remixes likewise.

Many teams get incentives and bonuses for getting #1s for their artists
