So radio has taken notice to MR's surge in sales (and to a lesser extent streaming), and is coming around now. I don't think MR is anywhere near its end. I know it's not that much audience, but AAA has no legitimate reason to ignore MR either. Yeah I see it is slowly growing but if they could help it a bit (mainly on Spotify) would be really great..

CTTR not quite as much with much better streams and airplay. True indeed At least newer acts (for example my new fave Jon Bellion) will benifit from the new formula so I'll happily accept the change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the #1 digital song is only selling 50k (which isn't that far away), is BB just gonna reweigh the formula to make them count more? Lol I'm not sure why you would think a song that sells almost 150k in a week, and exceeds the #2 by a significant, isn't actually "popular." MR is also gaining, albeit slowly, now in airplay. I wish I could understand some ATRL members' actual hatred of sales. So songs that sell well shouldn't get any credit for doing so? So people who download songs instead of streaming them for free doesn't actually contribute to a single's "popularity"? Having streaming taking over 75% of the Hot 100 inaccurately shows popularity. Back in the early 2000s, airplay was probably 90% of the chart because labels tried to force people to buy an entire album (and in some cases two albums for a remix). Those charts weren't accurate, because airplay is easily manipulated. Streaming can be manipulated through placements on numerous "hit" lists , as can sales to an extent. That's why it's so important to NOT let one component of the Hot 100 take over everything. Otherwise, the chart doesn't accurately reflect popularity.

MR hasn't fallen off the Spotify chart, as I think it's still in the Top 100. It's not like MR debuted one day and was gone just 2-3 days later. The fact MR is still in the Top 100 on Spotify a full week after its boost is a decent sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you mean 50 million, but nah way more than that. 100M would be safe, little bit less doable if sales and streams are palying along.
