The fact is they were charged and they heard the song. Hot 100 is about popularity that's why they also included youtube streams even tho some stream for its video not just because of the song alone. Songs were automatically downloaded and people got to listen to it. I pre-ordered the album but I literally wasn't thinking about the album last week when OOTW was downloading. I was only thinking about the SINGLE

You purchased the album and not the single, so the sales WILL count for the album and not the single no matter what you were thinking when you downloaded the track.

CMA's that happen during the album release week are still going to work the same way, but yeah, pre-orders are pretty much out of the picture by then.
