It's actually a travesty that a song less than 140k sales can debut at 11 while having next to nothing in streaming and radio
digital sales need to be taken down even further in the formula
Two years ago either "Out of the Woods" or "Welcome to NY" topped Digital Songs with a similar amount and no radio/streaming since it was a promo single and debuted #41.
Then Billboard changed the formula the week Work debuted top 10 with 129K. I guess since digital sales are dying but not COMPLETELY dead they want them to still have an impact on the chart. Streaming is gonna have decades and decades to come where it dominates fully so they probably wanted to give sales a big merit to some degree while they're still here.
Katy's Side Project debuting at least in the top 15 while other pop stars can't even debut in the top 90 with their Side Projects after a massive promo campaign and performances.
kety her generic flop lead-esque single that will have 2 music videos distracting from the fact that some people actually write for the music not the charts

*Releases the same generic type of music as a single & flops*

When Method man had a lyric that said: Lady madonna like to drink but she don't like to swallow.
It took me WAY too long to figure out what he meant...
