the same can be said with lotssss of crossover tracks really. i don't think its as fair as billboard think it is.

Oh, yeah. I didn't think about that. I suppose Nicki's pop songs will fare better now.

Infact, it seems to be pretty much the Hot 100, except with the non-genre songs taken out, and with some songs that went recurrent still being there.
But how do they determine what is eligible for each genre? My theory is that it's simply anything that appears on the airplay chart for the genre (which would explain why Diamonds is there, since it's #61 on urban this week).

Yes, streaming is included. Mumford & Sons entire album populates Spotify and the Alternative chart is basically their album debuting all over the place from streaming.
And I don't think there is a specific eligibility. Considering they will be counting crossover airplay too, a song like "We Found Love" could touch Top 120 and be eligible for all of its pop/rhythmic airplay + sales.
I just saw the "Pop Songs" chart on my phone. Does that already include sales?
