Thanks to the new rule change. It should be noted that Mary holds a slightly different record. With all that said, "Diamonds" will undeservedly be crowned the most successful R&B song on that chart and will likely go over 20 weeks there.
The new rule is not stupid to incorporate digital. But they should only use the airplay from Urban radio only in their calculations. So.. Diamonds probably still would have gone #1. Its #12 on Airplay on Urban and has no threat when it comes to digital and streaming. So Seethe.
Oh ****, Bey is coming too. Bey just needs to outsell Rihanna, and her song will snatch because Rihanna has no radio
Even if Bey debuts her single in 2 weeks. Rih will still be #1. Its gonna be hard for Bey to sell more than 200K copies more than her. And beat her in airplay. Not to mention streaming.
