And fairly substantially I think, for GG to have fallen below Mi Gente. Wouldn't be surprised if they cut YT's influence in half. Edit: Okay... half is probably an exaggeration. But maybe 25% or so. It feels like a big change. Look forward to crunching the #'s. Edited November 13, 2017 by NoMythologies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexanderao Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 We're just speculating at this point, but even if they did indeed downweight YT streams, must note that this won't be a blanket effect among urban hits. In fact, increasing the influence of AM will serve to help urban hits. I've already went over why I think this would be a really stupid rule change, but to reiterate: just because a stream makes labels more money doesn't mean it should matter more for a *popularity* chart.

Dreajae Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Beyonce is Queen of clinging to life in the top 10. She was predicted to freefall almost 6 weeks ago. We're finally getting our girls back. Bey, Rih, Nicki, Cardi and SZA all have top 10s this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Honeymoon Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) YouTube and Spotify Freemium must have been cut by 30% or more, in order for Gucci Gang to fall out of the top 10. Sales and radio probably increased a bit, too. Edited November 13, 2017 by Blue Honeymoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
