But how many % count?

Does anybody know?

Katy coming for MJs record again

Looks like a lot of the pop girls are going to be getting those #1's a lot easier.

Madonna and Christina could chart higher now.

With every pop act getting #1 I'll just devalue the chart. The only thing that matter now is sells.

There's no % in the formula. There's never been. Each contributing stat is uncapped. Each stat has its own weight of course, but there's no limit on how much it can contribute. That's why Harlem Shake with 100m+ views could get to #1. The nearest competition is at 10m. Like BB said themselves, without the youtube views, Harlem Shake would only chart in Top 15 (i.e. outside of Top 10).

Hmm maybe Gaga will put out videos in a more timely manner now.

How convienent, right after the end of Gagnam fever....

I wish this happened sooner, so when you add up the calculations, Your Body's peak would've been #13. Scream & Shout would've been #1 last week.

Also:
Madonna - Give Me All Your Luvin' - Not #10, but #5.
Psy - Gangnam Style - #1 for multiple weeks on end.
Justin Bieber - Beauty & A Beat - #3
Boyfriend - #1
I Wanna Go - #5
Etc.

Fortunately, Gangnam Style has already faded.

!!!!!!

Very stupid.

Billboard and them damn rule changes.

I'll take this though. It's the "hot 100" chart after all. Bring it on.

Interesting.

If anything, I hope this means artists will use bigger budgets and more creative ideas for their music videos.

The viral fever needs to END though.

That's all.

Total and utter ********.

This is pandering towards a very very specific group of artists. If it's anything more than 20% it's a problem, because artists without videos/big budgets will stand no chance.

This. Disgusting.

I really think this is going to make the charts more interesting.

Poor "Gangnam Style"

This is good though

Doubtful. She's never been one to care too much about chart position.
