You're welcome guys!

This information I figured would help everyone out and I saw a couple people trying to figure out the formula.

When I got this information, I was just as skeptical. But week after week the calculations were correct.

The chart's new methodology continues to place the greatest weight on sales, with radio the next most influential component, followed by streaming. (Under the chart's new recipe, on-demand streams will be weighted twice as much as passive/online radio streaming).

when they started implementing the On Demand streams. I just wonder, if your calculations are true... then why would they say otherwise?

What about YouTube views? How does that factor in, or do they not use that anymore?

Justin Bieber - "Boyfriend"
Sales: 521,000
Airplay: 40 million
Streaming: 0

521 * .35 + 40 * .55 = 204.35
182.35 + 22 = 204.35

fun. - "We Are Young
Sales: 363,000
Airplay: 104 million
Streaming: 1.18 million

363 * .35 + 104 * .55 + 118 * .10 = 196.05
127.05 + 57.2 + 11.8 = 196.05

Hot 100:
1. fun. - "We Are Young"
2. Justin Bieber - "Boyfriend"

Whenever I do calculations, I just leave the numbers whole. Using percents gets messy for me.

WAY : 363 + 104 + 118 = 585
Boyfriend : 521 + 40 = 561
