Nielsen initally reported to Billboard that she had sold 248,000 copies of HBTB, contradicting all basic logic and the Kworb prediction of 69k. The Hot 100 was not published until today as the error was rectified and Nielsen reported the correct number (67,000) to Billoard.

It's just the latest in a series of Nielsen data screwups that we've witnessed (the BB200 being edited after publishing, streaming numbers wildly fluctuating when they should have stayed the same).

Some interesting facts

30 weeks for Trap Queen and STILL top 10

40 weeks for Shut Up And Dance & Uptown Funk. At this point 50 weeks for both of them are for sure imo. We'll see how far they'll come.
Another long-running song: Post To Be.
Flex (Ooh Ooh Ooh) is always stuck at #29. Now for 6th week.
Seconds Top 40 hit for Shawn - Stitches & Thomas Rhett - Crasn and Burn.
Like A Wrecking Ball & El Perdon both have spent more than 20 weeks on Hot 100 without reach at least #50 (21 weeks now). I think as soon as they start to fall in all metrics they'll fall. Well.. not if they enter Top 50.

Next week he will probably pass Mark & Bruno if he'll not fall from top 10 with both songs. But at the end of the year he could possibly compete with Taylor & The Weeknd for the most weeks in Top 10 in 2015. Well he's fighting for it right now too so.

The longevity. Jhené ha grocery power. And they said that her career is over after she allegedly threw mild shade at Drake & Yonce.

I think UF! will probably fall just short of 60 weeks. It's been declining on Spotify pretty consistently over the last 2 months, but its sales (#40 on iTunes) and overall airplay (#18) are holding up extremely well. I think at the very end of its run it will become airplay-fueled (unless the YT views are high- how are they right now?).

SUAD, on the other hand, has a legitimate shot at 60 weeks. It's sitting pretty at #5 on overall radio with just a 0.6M decrease today, and it is still doing very well on Spotify (consistently 20-30). Additionally, a recent boost has taken it back up to #12 on iTunes. Obviously, like with many 60+ week songs, starting with alternative and crossing over has been a huge help for SUAD.

J. Cole's album is holding up better than Kendrick's album (his album is actually doing better than what some posters were saying, too). Hip Hop as a whole is the best-selling genre overall in 2015.

High By the Beach" debuts at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 instead of No. 7. On Digital Songs, it debuts at No. 10 instead of No. 1.

So what is the truth?
(Pretty sure it's #9, but lol that the corrected article would still be wrong.)

11 1 – 2 Drag Me Down - One Direction
Hmm.

I completely agree with SUAD. As we could see the song hopefully won't die on radio for a while which is a good sign. Moreover, the VMAs will help for a little exposure. I really hope this won't start to freefall after August.

As for UF! I really want this to end up with 60+ weeks. I don't like the song already but its run is very good and I want some song to finally reach at least 60 weeks.

Maybe TOL will surprise too. But this from these 3 songs are the least possible to reach 60 weeks imo. However its not freefalling. We'll se after couple of weeks.

UF and SUAD are at risk after week 53 when BB likely re-weighs streaming at the beginning of the 2016 Chart Year. I think TOL can get to 52 weeks, but I'm not sure about 60. UF could get saved by a Christmas season boost in sales even if he loses streaming, but that's not certain. SUAD? Not sure.

Remember the 2015 Chart Year is 3/4 over, so make your Top 10 or how ever long projections at http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=841467.

I just realized Interscope actually believed the 250K number

“High By The Beach”

#1 single sales (250k)

8 million video views, watch below

New at KCMP & WXPN

Neilsen did them wrong.

How could Interscope be so gullible?

Last week GER estimated UF got 57% of its points from streaming. That's why the formula change at the start of the next chart year in 14 wks concerns me. SUAD is more well rounded, of course that's with 13 wks/3 mos left this chart year, so that could change.

SUAD never excelled at streaming though, so if airplay holds tight that could keep it up as the year ends. I don't know if TOL will still be charting then. If UF gets an airplay boost that could help its longevity, but both Happy and All Of Me were airplay powerhouses in 2014 and only lasted one week on the Hot 100 after BB reduced streaming. Neither was as big as UF, but that's worth keeping in mind.
