Because older songs started gaining popularity again, investment funds became interested in acquiring artists' catalogs. To everyone who says charts aren't the best way to measure success: what could be better than a ranking of the most popular songs at any given moment?

A rare moment of unity: Columbia Records' Head of A&R, Head of Marketing, Managing Director, CFO, and Jeffrey Azoff come together to deliver the year's biggest flop: It has 3.2m streams right now, so probably it will increase but slightly.

Sorry, I had meeting with the prime minister of India

It flopped globally cuz it's snowing in trumpland. Jeffrey Azoff, is that you?

Today it hasn't even reached 2m yet

It appears this illustrious day is set to wrap up with a whopping 5.3-5.4 million unfiltered streams - 60% decay day-to-day. Let's just call it what it is: the undisputed flop of the year Employees of Columbia Records (I know some of you are lurking here): do send your warmest regards to your beloved management, masters of the gilded cage, for so diligently shielding their artists from that pesky thing called reality. Let's be real - you all know that latest Miley album was a spectacular flop. You strangled Kid Laroi's career in its sleep. Rosalia? Sure, the critics swoon, but your CFO not really. And now, as your pièce de résistance, you've greenlit the most agonizingly mediocre five-minute snoozefest from Harry's album as the lead single, paired with a video that looks like it was directed by a confused AI. Bravo. You've officially perfected the art of selling air.

HOW DARE YOU??

Dua Lipa, and she told me as well that now song has 3.8m streams and just 7 hours left.

On AM it's no better

I have some connection in bussines, politics and sometimes I meet some popgirls due to my position

It will drop like a rock. It has barely 3m streams rn, after nearly 15 hours of tracking day.

Right now it doesn't have even 16m of unfiltered streams in total

This, it has like 11.6m now unfiltered streams. But let's be real, it's not a record-breaking piece

It has 11m on Spotify rn, great numbers but not as good as "As it was". I've read somewhere on X it still be #1

As much as I dislike K-pop bots, this is probably the reason. The YouTube Music counter combines both official content and UGC song views. In some cases, YouTube Content Manager may unlink certain videos; after review, they are moved from the Song UGC category to the non-song UGC category, which can cause rapid changes in total counts.
