Sales don't count THAT much anymore, i mean when Bieber debuted with 550k and didn't go number one 
Airplay probably still counts the most. |
Sales
1,000 Sales = 1 point on the BBHot100
For example, Lady GaGa's 448,000 sales for Born This Way was worth 448 points.
Airplay
1,000,000 Audience Impressions = 1 point on the BBHot100
For example, Lady GaGa's 84,000,000 AI for Born This Way was worth 84 points.
Streaming
The actual weighting of streaming is unknown. It is known that youtube videos do not count towards the BBHot100, but there are others that do, such as Perez Hilton's website. Streaming has never really been officially defined in terms of points, but there have been occasions where one song has had higher points on sales and airplay than another but was pipped by streaming.
OVERALL
Sales Points + Airplay Points (+ Streaming Points) = Final Point Tally
For example, for Lady GaGa's Born This Way; 448 + 84 (+ Unknown Streaming) = 532 points (approximately)
