Yeah I know but it makes no sense. Billboard said themselves On-demand streaming count more so if a song has 10 million streams and you use your formula you have no idea how many of those 10 million were on-demand and not.

Billboard should at least have written how much Drake sold this week because I find it very weird how he's so high.

Congrats Queen L

Good for her! That's the jam.

It all happened so fast! I figured she could become successful, I just didn't know if it was going to be able to reach a large audience. Congrats to Lorde! A perfect way to celebrate such a great album!

Wow, congrats Lorde! That is amazing to be 16 and to have a number one in the US. Great achievement.

Can't believe I started stanning for Lorde when she had her EP out for free online. Who knew this obscure girl I found would hit #1

It's time for the thread bumps

So happy for Ylvis & "The Fox".

Top 10 is great, anything more is gravy now~

I don't like Royals much, but I'm always happy for more #1s. Good turnover!

I like Team though.

We smash on scenes,
You'll never see on screens,
Not Katy Perry but we sure know how to run things

now i'm sure Lorde is coming for that Grammy nomination in best new artist category

YASS Drake!! it deserve at least top 3!!!

Katy should be back at #1 next week TBH I still dont understand why Royals is at top, I mean the song is not bad but I dont think it deserve #1

Their formula doesn't change. The article states that a songs' total points can skew in favor of one category if the numbers are high enough, but the way in which they calculate the total points for a song is the same for all 100 songs on the chart.

I don't think that Katy's going back to #1. "Royals" is growing on radio quite fast and it still has a strong lead over "Roar" on iTunes. True, "Royals" was taken down and had to work its way back to #1, but it should still sell more than "Roar" next week.

IT HAPPENED



ROYA1S

"It feels like a combination of my birthday, Christmas and washing my hair after a month of not doing so," - Lorde on her Billboard #1

I'm so so happy for her! Her music stuff is definitely a bunch of fresh air in the music industry

This is my favourite number one single on Billboard since Somebody That I Used To Know (Oceania rocks ) and I think someone should create an article on wikipedia named "List Of Song By New Zealander Artists which reached number-one on the Hot 100 (USA). First we had Kimbra as a featured artist and now we have Lorde as a solo artist. This is such a huge achievement for a tiny country like New Zealand.

Get ready for Lorde, her reign has just begun!

She refuses to take number two.
