Considering sales keep dropping massively year to year and Drake keeps holding on to #1 while barely even selling, is it time to accept that people don't buy music anymore?

Also, should radio also be removed from the Hot 100 so it becomes a streaming-only chart?

Radios impact should be cut in half, streaming should be cut a bit and sales should still hold a majority.

Thats my opinion anyways.

Why would the Hot 100 be a streaming only chart? They have one already...

Not yet.

No

People still buy music, just not that much

I don't know how it works, but in my opinion:
Sales: 50%
Streaming: 30%
Radio: 20%

not just yet. sales should be removed when #1 doesn't sell 10k

lol what? People buy if the music is good, simple as that. If anything streaming should be removed

Bolded is correct, not many people listen to FM local radio (KIIS FM), but still listen to XM and Sirius Radio.

TIDAL as streaming should be removed.

Not yet.

They should actually remove radio from the formula. It's useless. It doesn't measure the interest in the song.

No. Sales should never be removed from the Hot 100. Airplay should, though.

Cut radio (which is 90% payola and programmed playlists, anyways). I'll never truly understand why it holds so much importance. Adjust sales and streaming accordingly.

Well, Anti was #1 with 17k
Life Of Pablo was #4 with like 1k

I don't get why people always try to shade radio and say it's weighed to much . But no you can't eliminate sales yet . I mean Drake just did 800k and Adele did 3 million so albums still do sale

I used to support a 40-40-20 formula, which was 40% sales, 40% streaming, 20% radio. but I think it should be sales > streaming >>>>>>>>> radio. radio STILL has payola so there's no point in giving it much impact.

No. Streaming should be weighted down.
