Let's compare the numbers:

Sales (divide by 10): See You Again sold 285,000 downloads last week (-10%); Trap Queen sold 106,000 (-1%).
28,500 points vs 10,600 points.

Streaming (divide by 750): See You Again had 24 million streams last week (=); Trap Queen had 17.5 million (+1%)
SYA 32,000 points vs TQ 23,333 points

Airplay (divide by 10,000): See You Again received 102 million impressions (+38%/Airplay Gainer); Trap Queen received 64 million (+7%) 10,200 points versus 6,400 points

Total points: See You Again 28,500+32,000+10,200=70,700;
Trap Queen 10,600+23,333+6,400=40,333

As you can see, there is a HUGE difference in points between the songs. I have SYA with an 75.3% point lead over TQ. The only metric TQ is somewhat competitive with SYA is Streaming, but even there the gap is large. SYA will be performed at the BBMAs too. While nothing is 100% impossible, TQ's chances of taking over #1 next week are extremely slim.

MTE. I'm all here for rap making a top 10 comeback again, but not with crappy Vine hits like this! Then the fact that this song is actually in the digital sales top 5 is absolutely baffling to me...

Hopefully a better rap track near the top 10 can replace it next week

At least Trap Queen is rightfully slaying. Never thought it would ever crack the top 3, let alone #2!

Cool. I swear the name T-Wayne was originally supposed to be T-Pain and Lil' Wayne joining forces. (circa 2008. "Can't Believe It" is still a bop.)

Sis, everytime I see that name, I go running because that's the first thing I think of

Still waiting for that album tho because Can't Believe It is still that bop

Congrats Brian. I was so happy seeing your name in the article, knew right away it was you !

Thanks!

Okay Ger-55 corrected me on the streaming portion of the formula. I divide by 750, not 1,300.

1) See You Again: 70,700
2) Trap Queen 40,333
3) Uptown Funk 38,367

See You Again leads Trap Queen by 75.3%, while Trap Queen only leads Uptown Funk by 5.1%.

Airplay points 12,300
Sales points 9,000
Streaming points 17,067
Total 38,367

Chart experts, sistrens is there any way Fifth harmony's worth it will go top 20 next week??? it was 21 this weeks and it keep increasing on everything(radio is kinda slow tho).

It's probably a good thing that 1989's sales are slowing down a bit. After the Bad Blood remix she can put it up for streaming and it'll probably help later singles.

Thank you!

Dividing streaming by 1,300 is too much. It actually weights more. I'm thinking why are you using that formula of dividing by 1,300. Why 1,300? You should devide it (if we're close enough to a reliable formula) by 750 in any case

Haven't done predictions for next week till Friday, but why not? It keeps increasing on Streaming and Sales and that's good

If BB provides us with real numbers this week for "See You Again", the formula "1k Sales = 1M Airplay = 75k Streams" is not working SO well..

BB said SYA's Airplay accounts for 17% of overall points VS. 14% got by the known formula

That means Airplay weights more, don't know how much more...

Thanks for the help! Let me try again! Also, 7 is directly above 4 on the keypad, so that could be a typo.

Here are the Top Five Songs by points using the Sales / 10 + Streaming / 750 + Airplay / 10,000 formula. The difference between number two and number five is much smaller than the difference between Number One and number two.

#1 See You Again: Sales 28,500 + Streaming 32,000 + Airplay 10,200 = Total 70,700
#2 Trap Queen: Sales 10,600 + Streaming 23,333 +Airplay 6,400 = Total 40,333
#3 Uptown Funk: Sales 9,000 + Streaming 17,067 + Airplay 12,300 = Total 38,367
#4 Earned It: Sales 8,300 + Streaming 12,000 + Airplay 15,500 = Total 35,800
#5 Shut Up And Dance: Sales 13,600 + Streaming 8,133 + Airplay 11,100 = Total 32,833

This x100000000

40% Sales, 30% Audio Streaming, 20% Airplay, and 10% Video Streaming seems like the perfect mix to me.

Next week prediction - Top 7:

1. See You Again (=)
2. Trap Queen (=)
3. Earned It (+1 - Just performed on American Idol)
4. Uptown Funk (-1)
5. Want To Want Me (+3 - Just performed on American Idol)
6. Shut Up and Dance (-1)
7. Nasty Freestyle (+2)

Imo:

45% streaming (including video, I feel like they should all be equal) > 30% radio > 25% sales

Sales are just far too weak nowadays for me to advocate them being any major part of the formula.

Early ass predictions for the T10:

1. See You Again
2. Trap Queen
3. Uptown Funk!
4. Earned It
5. SUAD
6. Want To Want Me
7. Nasty Freestyle
8. Sugar
9. LMLYD
10. Hey Mama

The points for #3-5 are so close in my early predictions. Really UF!, SUAD, and EI could be any of the three. I'm hoping that UF! can get one more week extending its record in the T3 though on its way to setting records in the T10.

The amount of coonery in the Top 10
