I don't think chains will fall down. it has big sales,it's rising on radio... I don't think it will fall.it will rise!!
Hmm I'm not too sure. It'll probably fall with a bullet, considering Jason Derulo's single is bigger in the radio and streaming department, and isn't too far behind in sales.
I think it counts regardless of the category, as long as it has the song.
It only counts if it's tagged under MUSIC. Remember the Let Her Go superbowl commercial fiasco? The commercial got almost 50 millions views in a week but not a single view accounted for streaming.
SYA (1st week)
UF! back to top (15th week)
UF! (16th week, tie record)
UF! (17th week, breaking it)
SYA (2nd week, thx to stabilized airplay, streaming and sales)
Who tags these videos as Music or Entertainment? You Tube or the submitter? If it's You Tube, it seems they're rather subjective instead of objective at times when drawing the lines. That's not just an issue for UF but for a lot of other songs with accompanying user-made videos too. This is actually a serious question, not me being a smart ass (Lent is over).
My Top 30 projections for next week. I am giving my projected A (Airplay), D (Digital) and S (Streaming) positions for the Top Ten songs, with Spotify rankings as of 07 April used below the Top 10, as well as my greatest gainers in each category. Bullets are represented by an *. I am trying to guesstimate airplay progress and positions for songs by next Wednesday on AI. Please Note: I am listening to the Billboard Podcast, and their experts think "Uptown Funk" will get another week at #1, and they mention nothing about the potential of "See You Again" taking over next week.

Sorry for the slow response. I was working on my projected Top 30. I saw a link saying Uptown Funk has been marked down to 69 cents, so I'll investigate lol!
Happy to see a change at the top. But See you again is gonna get annoying very quick as theres not much to it just the same lines over and over. It sounded familiar on first hearing tbh.
Just noticed that Riptide peaked at #30. Just shows that hot100 peaks dont tell the true story at all.
So happy Ellie stayed ahead of Earned it. Her song is clearly the much bigger hit selling 50% more overall to date. And it was released later.
