You don't multiply it by .05   |  isn't streaming taking only 5 percent of that formula thing? ..  |

 |  Mmm, the points for the top 3 were within about 5 points of each other IIRC and sales + mediabase had GaGa at #2 however she slipped to #3 with on the Hot 100, showing that streaming did make a difference that week. If Bad Romance had of been properly on the official streaming sites then it's very plausible that it could have been #1 that week.  |

well all time i was thinking this way: for example if some one song has 100 mil AI, and 100k downloads and 1,100,000 streams let's just say, it might actually be 100*0.55+100*0.40+(1,100,000/55,000)*0.05 .. = 55 + 40 + 1 .. 
another one with 50 mil AI, 250k download and 0 streams will be 50*0.55+250*0.40+0 = 27.5 + 100 + 0..  |

 ^ You did made a mess there. Using your hypothetical numbers:
 If a song has 100 million AI, it has 100 points
 If it sold 100k downloads and/or cd singles, it has 100 points
 If it was streamed 1 million times it has 18.18 points (let's say 18 points) - which will never be the case, since the biggest stream have added was like 4-5 points, totalizing: 100 + 100 + 18 = 218
 
 If a song doesn't even have 1k in downloads/cd singles sold, it doesn't even have a full point, if it's 900 downloads, it would be 0.9, same goes for AI if it doesn't have 1 million. Remember that the numbers are never rounded up (so if it's 115,286 downloads/cd singles, it's 115.286 points)....

 ^ so.. what does "consists of 55 percent of airplay, 40 percent of downloads, and 5 percent of streaming" really say?.. ..  if each component is taken with a different weight towards the final number, then these percentages should be multiplied to the corresponding points got (then whatever begotten be added up), shouldn't them?..    |

The percentage is weighted within how much 1 point is worth. 
The fact that 1 million airplay audience = 1 point weights 55% to the airplay. 
The fact that 1k downloads = 1 point weights 40% to downloads.
 
If you change the value of 1 point, you change the percentage as well. For example, on Billboard Hot 100 in Canada, 100 downloads = 1 point instead of 1000, and the percentage for downloads there is more like 60-70%.

 ^ Yes. Seeing that sometimes not even a full point is added to songs, meaning the song video was streamed less than 55,000 times....   |

 Predition:D + Al = Total
 1. Rude Boy = 170.0 + 100.1 = 270.1
 2. Nothin On You  = 182+ 87.6 = 169.6

 ^ It would be. 1 million streams would add up 18 points, since it never happens, we know that Yahoo/AOL doesn't make a damn difference on the charts cause songs/videos there are streamed to 300,000 a week at maximum (that would be 5 points already)...   |

 “Break Your Heart” by Taio Cruz featuring Ludacris tops Hot Digital Songs for the third straight week. The song sold 176,000 downloads this week, bringing its four-week total to 681,000. The gorgeous “Nothin’ On You” by B.O.B. featuring Bruno Mars jumps from #4 to #2, with sales of 166,000 copies this week. The richly melodic song is a “My Cherie Amour” for the hip-hop generation. Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” slips from #2 to #3, with sales of 163,000.
 RIHANNA #1 ANOTHER WEEK!!!
