Smash With A Top 3

DWAS debutting at #3 effortlessly

It's going to come down to the final updates, but based on the trajectory of streams and radio so far this week, I think A Bar Song is going to come out on top.

 

So happy about Lose Control finally dropping out of the Top 10. Now if Guy For That can push Cowgirls out of the Top 15 that would be great too.

 

Also, here is 26-38:

Die With a Top 3 debut (future #1)

Chappell top 5??? 

[pride4jc1222]

Looks like A Bar Song may end up on top after all: 

 

[Green]

See this is the main reason why I wanted A Bar Song's airplay to start falling fast

 

Right now Die with a smile is doing 2.7 million on US spotify while A Bar Song is doing 1.5 million and guess who will be #1 because of the massive airplay  

(I'm talking about next week's chart when Gaga/Bruno will climb to #2 blocked by A Bar Song)

Honestly, it's a little weird to me that a song that is #1 in sales and top 10 in streaming isn't debuting in the top 10 of the Hot 100 because of radio.

 

EDIT: Originally it was predicted to be #1 in sales and #10 on streaming, but like #15 or something on the Hot 100 due to radio. 

Looks like your anti radio smear campaign was a little too premature

1.) are you stupid? i OBVIOUSLY edited my post after the predictions were updated due to the song increasing in streams

2.) anti radio?  i don't care about radio im a 20 year old college student, im not going to shoot myself just because radio counts on the Hot 100 lmfao. you've been on this website since i've been in middle school relax

3.) i stand by what i said. if a song is top 10 on both streaming and sales but misses the top 10 of the Hot 100 due to radio, that is WRONG and doesn't reflect current consumption. 

 

Now go listen to your radio, boomer. 

[UseYourIllusion2002]

I guess ONE post stating that radio shouldn't be weighted as much on the Hot 100 = an "anti radio smear CAMPAIGN"  pathetic.

if anything, there should be an anti radio campaign. like who gives a f about radio these days? in 2024 the radio is driven by labels mostly and it doesn't reflect with the reality. the fact that it weights so much on hot 100 is mind blowing !

Hearing a song on radio doesn't reflect current consumption but purchasing a song on … iTunes in… 2024 … does? 
 

Are you 20 or do you still buy digital tracks? Both can't be true buddy

Advocating for the removal of radio but not digital sales? Troll better.

Ah yes, nobody cares about radio which is why the radio thread on ATRL is dead and the digital sales thread is thriving

OT: I'm surprised that TOTC got it wrong this week, I don't think they've missed any previous #1s this year.

you literally remind me of my grandma who was +70 when the technology appeared and she called it "the doing of the devil" saying "people will go to hell" just because she refused to see the reality and progress in life. 

 

digital sales are dead and don't weigh as much as the radio does on charts. a person that barely sells anything can still go top 10 with streaming and radio play. now if your song has decent streaming numbers (not as big as die with a smile) and goes top 10 for digital sales, it will never go top 10 on hot 100 because it's not supported by the radio. it's a fact and the radio should weigh as much as digital sales. i don't even care if both would be removed because they don't make any sense really and are not at the same level as streaming. but because they need a fair calculation, I'd give streaming 70% and 30% a combination of radio and digital sales. now that would balance things better!
