Dropouts
50. Be Real

Total plays of the Top 10:
5,106,194 (-566,137 from yesterday)



Total plays of the Top 50:
15,065,497 (-1,702,885 from yesterday)

So there was still the usual drop in streaming from Friday to Saturday.

What I'm curious about is whether the even bigger usual drop between Saturday and Sunday will occur, and I'm still not sure if it will. I believe that if there is a drop, it won't be as precipitous as it tends to be.

Rihanna is doing so good with BBHMM on Streaming

Nasty Freestyle's numbers are impressive, it's staying there for days and more days

When did you start calling it Post To Be?

I just used the Youtube stats method on Gangnam Style and this are its views for the last 7 days:

5,726,215

Yeah, no one is reaching it anytime soon

I can see SYA snatching, its still growing in views and its gonna probably be the fastest video to hit a billion

I have been quite busy today, and still am fairly busy right now.

I'll begin the update, but it might be almost an hour two and a half hours until it is posted.

I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Ugh, will just post both updates tomorrow.

PSY will remain unbothered forever

Decade-end Hot 100 ain't ready for the MESS

Is decade end based on hot 100 points or?

I doubt it. Gangham Style's longevity on the Hot 100 wasn't that great, and it's performance at the top was diminished because Billboard had not included video streaming at the time the song was at its peak.

No more vevo stats?

Tonight, I will post yesterday's update and today's update. Please be patient, it might take a while.

Yea, the decade end charts are based on chart positions. It would not be fair to rank by points seeing as they've changed their ranking methodology a couple of times already this decade. So the songs that did not benefit for audio/video streaming will be weighed heavier than those that did, since their chart lives were given extra longevity as a result. For example, I'm almost sure that We Found Love would have pulled close to 60 weeks on the Hot 100 if streaming was included. Same goes for the other smash hits that came around that time.

The year end charts, however, are points based.

We Found Love tail end of its chart run did benefit from the addition of On Demand Streaming, as the song would have already fallen out had it had to rely solely on its sales and airplay. WFL's sales dropped off rather quickly considering it was #1 for 10 weeks, so had On Demand not been added into the formula, it would have fallen of the Hot 100 a few weeks faster. Of course, video streaming would have helped more What I wonder about is how long would Party Rock Anthem had stayed in the Top 10/40 had streaming been added into the Hot 100. On-Demand did keep the song on the Hot 100 probably 10-12 extra weeks, during which time PRA re-entered the Top 40 for two or three additional weeks. But had all streaming been factored in, PRA could have had Hot 100 longevity similar to Radioactive.

Interesting tbh
But it's already the 2nd biggest song this decade via hot 100 points so...
probably the biggest airplay song this decade too

I'm sorry that I haven't been able to get the updates up. Luckily for me, it appears that there was no update yesterday.

I will take care of everything at 4pm today- I'm much less busy.
