Why are people pitting DIL against DH as if DIL was close to grabbing the top spot? You should be more concerned that it jumped over expected bigger hits like Happy, TD, and LHG.

Drunk In Love is closer to Dope than any you mentioned, both were propelled mostly due to streaming. I would say Dark Horse is more culturally relevant since it's higher in sales, audio, and streaming.

Plus, Dark Horse isn't even at it's peak of relevance since it's already #1 without the music video being released yet...

I can honestly tell you more ppl are probs aware of DIL than DH.

Roar and DH were real hits with high sales and airplay, both of them didn't need a music video to hit 1.

It's so disgusting to see flops like DIL at number 2, when other hits like Happy or Talk dirty are at lower positions

If it's disgusting to see, kill yourself. Problem solved.

Drunk in Love is not like Dope though.

Streaming didn't dominate DIL's formula quite like Dope's. DIL's is actually fairly balanced this week, with a slight edge towards streaming. But over half of its point came from digital + radio combined.

So this might peak at #2 because her sales aren't shooting back up and streaming boost doesn't last that long after a performance.

This might be her first #2 peak. Most of her stuff once in top 5 usually goes #1...a couple #4 peaks I think.

Survivor also peaked at #2, but yeah as a solo artist this is her first #2 peaking song... so far.

The bitterness.

It's not a flop, it got the streams, it's in the top 10 on HDS and it's doing good on radio and still building. You need to get over the fact that it's a hit, because there's pretty much no denying it at this point.

Talk Dirty and Happy both had LESS streaming AND airplay

Were you also wondering such things when Roar and DH was benefiting from such "rules"?

Wrong examples. Katy's songs are sales' monsters. Actually her songs would spend more time at #1 without the streaming rule.

that is sad and true.

Katy is probably the only big artist negatively effected by the streaming rule.

Congrats to Katy on another week at #1, Beyoncé on her flawless #2 megasmash, and awesome gains for Jason and Pharrell!

probs not because both was #1 on digital songs and they meant no shade it was a suprising chart for DIL

If only Billboard counted the 15 to 20(out of 35 million) streams from Let Her Go's Superbowl commercial ad.

@ the gorls that are FUMING!!!!

Seriously, why are people so angry about Beyonce being at #2? The points have been laid out, and some of you all are still acting shocked/surprised/angered about a chart position. If you're THAT mad about it, tweet someone from Billboard

It got streams because of the Grammy performance, do you remember that she opened the show?. And to be in at 7 on HDS after a big performance it's not amazing....

And do you know what's a radio hit?
