Billboard has performed a form of "double counting" when calculating the
sales figure for Katy Perry's Last Friday Night. It has included the sales
figure for the second version of the song featuriing Missy Elliot. It has
then advertised the combined sales figure as being representative of the
first version.

It's actually quite misleading and deceptive. Katy Perry should be lumped in with this deception.

How many threads do we need for this? You already know how it's going to end.
Close this thread.

Whatever. let go already....

Cool.

Yes and that is because the remix didn't account for over half the sales when it was at #1.

Oh and in before the

they always do this sis.

The other thread was shut down due to an act of censorship.

You already had a thread for this

Again

Gerl what?

The man's tryna hold you down?

It's important to keep this thread going. Record companies use headlines to promote their acts and make money.

Just move the **** on.

Can you just stop? Your other thread was closed for a ****ing reason.

OMG WHAT?

I have no intention on moving on. The truth can't be hidden despite the marketing spin of Capitol and Billboard. Billboard especially is responsible for the misleading number 1.
