I've never seen the navy hide behind Britney. And yes you are right about stans of every artist doing it though, with the little monsters however, don't stop at one or two artists and hardly ever mention their fave in such context but would rather hide behind the skirts of other female singers.
Maybe they aren't hiding and actually like the artist?
The Billboard charts have never really been perfect. In the 2000s, they favored radio over sales way too much, for example. But the way the charts are biased so heavily in favor of streaming and especially YouTube views is just embarrassing. And it doesn't have anything to do with Rihanna; she's just a prominent example of what's going wrong.
how many people do you watch songs on YT vs how many actually buy songs on itunes? (you don't need to answer this). Just because a chart doesn't conform to your deluded traditional stan-fueled idea of what it should be like, it doesn't mean it's false
You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say the Billboard charts were false, I said they were disproportionate and broken. And they are. Sales should comprise a considerably large percentage of points since that's where the most revenue is received (and requires the most fan investment). Then traditional streaming. Then radio. And YouTube should be no more than 10-15%.

but you know well that single sales are not the main way to consume music so how is it proportional for it to be factored in the most?
"consumption" is cute, but it doesn't mean anything if nobody is buying your song or even streaming it on Spotify. surely the OGH would understand this since they dragged "Dope"'s #8 peak
I knew it spent close to 2 years on the Hot 100, but that is insane. And it's not even a good song.
