Let's face it they play whatever they want and they've done so many artists so wrong despites high sales and streaming points (Avril's What the Hell is the first one to come to my mind). So why there's a radio and people working on it telling us what to listen and what not? How is that any fair? They can also completely blacklist artists like they did to Britney in 2001 and every single by her duting that time flopped because of them. Another thing is a PAYola, which is still working these days, which has been proven on multiple occasions.
No. We said the same when streaming didn't count, everyone here was saying thatr the chart should be based in digital sales only. Digital sales are dead but radio is still here. The truth is that the music industry has changed to much but radio is still there, I think it's areally important factor when talking about the popularity of a song, so no.
as if streaming doesn't get accusations of payola, Spotify messing up searches, playlist spamming.
Youtube putting a song n suggestions of videos that have no relation to the other video in question
No. In other countries you have songs that stay at #1 for weeks when loads of people have barely heard it. When you include radio it means more often than not you have to be widely heard to get to the top.
No! Radio is like one of the basis whether or not a certain song is very popular or not. And there are still millions of people who use radio so it is a BIG NO!
