Even now, I m still worried that GP know the true meaning of Sparks Fly  |
"You touched me once and it's really something you find I'm even better than you imagined I would be."
I mean Taylor gurl, can you tell it a little less obvious as that?!

This will be my fave album of the year 
I was looking through her music and I realized the has soo many good songs such as "Fifteen", "Back To December", "You Belong With Me", "Mean", "Mine", "Safe & Sound", "Both Of Us", "Love Story", "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", "Red", "Begin Again" and her latest promo song 
They're all so good. And I listen to most of them all the time. And I love her because she writes her own music

Ask Billboard Chart Ch-ch-Changes
Quote:
Last point first: Our BDS-based genre airplay charts aren't going away. They tell the story of each unique radio format. Pop Songs (which just celebrated its 20th anniversary
) reflects mainstream top 40 radio and many of music's top superstars which it plays. Maroon 5 is No. 1 on Pop Songs this week with "One More Night," which registered 74 million audience impressions at the format; such a wide reach certainly continues to be worthy of our charting. Country Airplay, R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, Latin Airplay, Adult Contemporary, Adult Pop Songs, Alternative Songs and Smooth Jazz Songs are more of our genre airplay charts that will continue to show on Billboard.com, with such others as Adult R&B, Rhythmic, Mainstream Rock and more viewable to subscribers on Billboard.biz.
Ultimately, here's what I think is the biggest point about - and main reason for the renovation of - Country, R&B/Hip-Hop, Rock and Latin Songs: they are meant to show the most popular songs in their genres among all pertinent metrics. Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is No. 1 on Country Songs because it is the country song that garnered the most airplay/sales/streaming points overall this week (And, remember, "Never" was a No. 13-peaking country airplay hit (granted, aided by Clear Channel Media and Entertainment promotional play its first week) and stayed in the top 15 until last week (its first six weeks). At its peak, it drew airplay on all but one station on the country reporting panel.) A main reader question has been, why count all-format airplay on these charts? Our reasoning is that we can't count sales for "Never" among only those who may have bought it because they are country fans, because we (or SoundScan) can't know the mindset behind a song's purchase; we can't count streaming for "Never" among only those who may stream it because they are country fans, again because it's not feasible to discern whether someone streams a pop-leaning country song because of its pop or country nature. Thus, why count only the country airplay of "Never"? If we're including all-encompassing sales and streaming, why segregate country airplay to help decide the most popular country song in the U.S.? Instead, why not reward a song for its entire reach? That's the goal of these charts: to reveal the biggest songs in each genre across the many ways we now consume music.
Surely, it will likely be tougher for songs or artists that are more core-country, core-R&B, core-rock or core-Latin to top each respective chart. But, maybe not always. In 1996, LeAnn Rimes' Patsy Cline-influenced "Blue" stopped at No. 10 on Country Songs, a victim of polarity in radio research. But, the song spent 20 weeks at No. 1 on Country Singles Sales (the physical-sales chart of the CD/cassette singles era; now, Country Digital Songs serves as the genre's sales list). History will show that "Blue" was a No. 10 hit on Billboard's main country songs chart, which from 1990 through last week was based on only BDS-monitored country airplay. Had a country hybrid chart existed then, "Blue" might've ruled it. And, wouldn't have that made sense? The same for Rimes' "How Do I Live" a year later. The song peaked at No. 43 on Country Songs (as radio chose Trisha Yearwood's version, which rose to No. 2). The public, however, loved Rimes' song to the extent that it spent 32 weeks atop Country Singles Sales. Again, calling "Live" a No. 43 song on Billboard's major country songs chart just doesn't jell with its massive sales. A hybrid chart shows a song's entire popularity - just as the revised Country Songs chart is doing now with another young country singer that has explored different sounds in her music: Swift.
As an avid chart fan myself going back to 1988 when I, at 14, discovered the magic of "American Top 40" with Casey Kasem (and Shadoe Stevens) and the Hot 100 chart that fueled it - how amazed I was to learn that this magazine also had charts for AC, rock, albums and more … many of which I made my brother, Michael, photocopy at the Boston University library each week, or browsed in smoky cigar shops where Billboard was available (under the menacing watch of owners who, correctly, doubted that I had the money to buy an issue …) - it's logical to fret that fewer titles might top Country Songs, or the other hybrid charts, because star artists might make repeated trips to the summit, and/or stay there longer once they reign. We like reading our Joel Whitburn books and seeing 50 No. 1s in a year (as happened in pre-BDS times when labels fought to get to a song to No. 1, only to drop any promotional push immediately after). Would we rather go back to a chart where a song goes 2-1-15 over three weeks? Incredibly, just 25 years ago Country Songs was based on airplay and sales reported by stations and retailers in such ranks as "heavy," "medium" and "light." Which do we think is more accurate: that methodology, or the electronically-tracked airplay, sales and multiple streaming sources now available? Years from now, I'd rather flip through a charts reference book that shows the most popular songs in a genre from as many trusted sources as possible.
Just as history will now show that Swift has the top country song - with, granted, a pop-leaning one in "Never" - and two others in the genre's top 10, Billboard charts have revealed acute superstar dominance before. The Beatles boasted the entire top five on the Hot 100 the week of April 4, 1964, at the height of Beatlemania. The Bee Gees set up shop throughout the Hot 100's top five in the late '70s, along with songs they'd written as recorded by other artists. And, as recently as 2010-11, Katy Perry resided in the Hot 100's top 10 with at least one entry for a record ** consecutive weeks. Now, Billboard's genre charts will better reflect such supremacy when it occurs. Rock Songs already does, as all 12 songs from the standard version of Mumford & Sons' "Babel" (plus two more from the deluxe release) populate Rock Songs. Why do they? Radio is playing primarily only focus track "I Will Wait," but fans are streaming the set's cuts with the same speed and passion with which the band plays the banjo; the title cut amassed 851,000 on-demand streams last week, according to BDS, while each of those 12 songs totaled at least 372,000 on-demand streams. As Bill wrote above: that's a hit.
We now have the luxury of experiencing music in so many more ways than before. I think it's exciting that consumers now have a greater voice than ever in shaping these charts about which so many of us care so deeply. One reader expressed concern that our hybrid charts will become a "popularity contest" where only the biggest hits will now have a chance to reach No. 1.
We sure hope so.
