They actually did it

The important thing is that women won

Higher than I expected Releasing the album through Amazon made it easier for fans to buy

Yes Brockhampton, they deserve a #1

Bots and obsessive fans won

It's been like this for a couple hours now, you late

Deserved

Well duh, of course BTS have big sales. Their album package has 4 versions and each comes with a different photo booklet and a random photocard of one of the seven members. The fans buy many copies of the album to collect the photos. Streaming is still the future

He did that

Why is Apple so secretive about the streams?

Mess, Say You Won't Let Go was released in September 2016 But the fact it still gets streams is really impressive Some songs don't become hits but Spotify insists on keeping them on the playlist. It's rather obvious Glades and Carlie Hanson aren't having hit songs.

I read that Bazzi is signed under Atlantic so it's not surprising to see him appear out of nowhere, especially since that "Mine" song was part of a meme(?) Yeah, I always wonder about these artists. Who tf are they, I always think "is the today's top hits playlists wrong for me?" Like seriously they need to get off. I don't know how those songs aren't able to break in top 200 in a playlist with 19 million followers At least Lauv has 2 songs in the top 200 atm Also James Arthur's "Naked" is still in TTH but it's "Say You Won't Let Go" that actually does chart (and charts higher WW) in the 200 so why not just put that song in TTH instead, Spotify.... Edit: "Naked" charts WW but not in the US

That humongous gap between Taylor and #2

The Chainsmokers flopping compared to their last eras? Can't say I'm upset Get an it female singer to sing the song instead (or duet) and their career might be saved again

Spotify says God's Plan has 23 million plays (so far), song is also on Youtube and there are two videos (one clean, one explicit) so that's 11.9 combined. With these three combined it's 34.9 million And I guess the majority of streams is from Apple Music? The hiphop heads go crazy for him

Camila antis are gonna go crazy

This is US only? Gosh P!nk, what a slay, with only 2 months since release

Save: New Rules Off: LWYMMD

this song needs to go away

America's loss But if she doesn't care about her sales then why should I?

On Youtube yes, Spotify and Apple Music not so much. Radio, nah. They sold about 54k on iTunes (According to Kworb), so I guess that's where it comes from The only acceptable Perfect at #1 is the duet with Bey

Fans have always been there, it's just BTS fans are a certain kind of special. 1D broke up and all the young girls who were just starting to like them had to move on, so they moved onto k-pop, and picked BTS as their victim (just a theory). They REALLY are dedicated to them, it's crazy. I guess the fans in the US realized that they can buy their music instead of downloading it illegally and spam tweets. Streaming is also a huge thing. Western singers get their views from many people, but kpop groups get their views from a fan streaming on all 8 of their phones, 3 of their computers, 10 of their school computers, 2 of their TVs, etc. Also Kris Wu..... he was #1 a while ago and I heard nothing about this, he just showed up. How did he even get another song in the top 10 of iTunes? He was in Hollywood movies sure, but I doubt that could be enough for people to check who he is. No one is even talking about it.

Wow congrats to Ed Still haven't listened to his album though And Rih and Adele....are unstoppable

When Mariah's hit song stops charting during winter, society will be doomed
