Then the 2020s would get a Diamond album of its own. Unfortunately right now I don't see any albums released after 25 going Diamond. Also, in the past, BB would tell us when the race for #1 was close just how close the battle turned out to be. TOTC estimates a 332 tie so I had hoped for a BB breakdown of exactly what happened & how ABS pulled it out over IHSH. I did a rough estimate on the points: I used 7*per million streams + per million airplay + per thousand sales A Bar Song - TOTC numbers: 328.3; actual Billboard numbers: 328.7 IHSH - TOTC numbers: 320.7 If I use 7.5*per million streams, I get: A Bar Song - TOTC numbers: 344.55; actual Billboard numbers: 344.95 IHSH - TOTC numbers: 338.15 A Bar Song probably won the race by about 6-8 charting points.

OK TOTC said A Bar Song had 332.13 & I Had Some Help had 332.11. So the gap was only about 0.02 points. I've kindly requested a breakdown to see exactly what happened to make this week so close. EDIT: OK ABS Sales 12.6k, Streams 32.5 mil & airplay 88.2 mil; IHSH Sales 7.5k, Streams 34.8 mil, airplay 68.8. So IHSH got a big streaming boost from Post's album release. Based on your 7 pts/million streams, fewer than 5k more streams would've given him & Wallen #1. 5k×0.07=0.035, so actually about only 30000 more streams would've given IHSH #1! 7×0.03=0.021
