HDD just seems mad. I don't think free streams should be counted, but Billboard isn't only counting them this week cause of Tidal, free streams have been eligible since the introduction of streaming onto to the chart. I feel like HDD is missing that piece of info.

‘Free’ as in it creates no revenue for both the artist or the service. Spotify is ad supported and you need an account. Tidal had the album in front of the paywall, no ads and you don’t need an account to listen to it.

but you at least need a spotify account to stream the music on spotify for free. it was not needed for meek's release.

When they say free streams they mean you can access it for free in HQ without making an account or listening to ads. Because there's no way to verify who's listening and they don't generate revenue, the inclusion of these streams is somewhat fishy. Spotify free streams still require ads and account login.

Aaah, got it. Thank you 

 

Mess if they count Tidal's chart manipulation then

So we have 2 scenarios:

BB is gathering receipts to expose tidal

BB is negotiating a deal to change the streaming rules 

 

Either way, perched for the incoming mess

Wow. This thread is already at 45 pages, over 1100 replies, and 34k+ views without even posting any chart data yet. I have to get off of here for now though. I'll check in later.

Billboard again acting wrong with Lana...

We'll be on next week's chart by the time this gets sorted out.

[DELE2125]

The worst part is that next week's chart cannot even be out if this one is not out  Like, where would the albums that debuted this week fall from? They would have to reveal the positions of this week in order to sort the position changes in the coming week

[HandsToMyself]

I'm so confused. Wasn't the Billboard Hot 100 supposed to be out by now? Is there just not going to be one this week or what. 

[Shion]

Hope we get it today on Wednesday, it's been long enough. Would feel like a throwback to a couple of years ago.

[truthteller]

the other tracking week is about to end and they still havent figured it out

And people were saying Jay would block her for #1 a few weeks ago.

i guess u spoke too soon, now it seems like jay z IS coming to block lana after all 

[elemonated]

There's only a day left before the tracking week for the BB200 ends and this week's is still not uploaded

@billboard the new tracking week ends soon and last week's chart are still not found

 

like announce Meek as the new #1 already its obvious

[Konril]

I guess they needed more extra monkeys and abacuses.

[DuffStan]

I WANT LANA TO BE #1

[sxmescudi]

[Yassin512]

So Buzzangle names Lana #1 with being 4k+ sps ahead and Sound Scan also reports Lana as #1 with a 3k+ sps advantage yet Billboard is still trying it?
