Hi Bill. I just wanted to share that ever since you joined ATRL the google searches of your name have skyrocketed

[Wafflecakes]

Stop harassing Bill guys.

He will get to your questions when he is damn ready. No need to quote/bump/remind him constantly.

What do you mean "why did Superbass never go #1"? It didn't go #1 because it didn't have the sales or airplay to reach #1.

there are songs that went #1 that have less success then superbass.

Hi Bill,
Will Avril's new single "Rock N Roll" be eligible to debut next week on the Hot 100 just from her music video? (If she has enough points, of course.)

[SebaMonster]

What direction should Nicki Minaj go in your opinion to maintain commercial success and get more respect from people?

[mindim1000]

Hey Bill, first of all nice to can talk to you. I have 2 questions/requests.
So we all know about Britney's Blackout album and i'm not gonna ask you about what happened cause you aready told us. There's a big possibility Beyonce will break that record of Britney's, for most consecutive #1 debuts, with her next album. But the way that Britney lost her record was kind of unfair since the rule changed mid-way through the week and after Blackout was announced to be #1. So i was wonderin if there's any chance that a) you and Billboard only consider the record being broken if Beyonce's new album sells at it's first week more than Blackout did at it's first week or b) if Britney and her team decide to re-release Blackout in the future just let them have a chance as if it's the original album, without counting it as a re-release so she can have a fair chance to break her own record, unlike the previous time. That's all for now.

Hey Bill,
What is your favourite Rihanna song?

[jax.]

Do you find Iggy Azalea's music generic?

[Haribo]

Hi, Bill. Welcome.

Will Billboard ever publish all-time top selling ringtones/mastertones singles and music videos? Thanks.

[DivaDown]

I have to ask him for a truthful answer:

Bill, you recently criticized Lady Gaga for her asking fans to purchase the single multiple times and watch the video multiple times (of "Applause").

What is your stance on artists releasing a remix to a song and discounting the single to have the single chart higher on the Hot 100 (like Katy Perry did on multiple singles from 'Teenage Dream')?

Just to add to this, how do you feel about the sudden increase in "lyric videos" that are released in order to take advantage of the inclusion of streaming? Why isn't that considered an artist/label being "thirsty" and "not what Billboard is about"?

[Nippy'sReceipts]

Hey Bill. Nice speaking to you.
Do you think the invention of music videos killed rock and roll? What will it take to bring it back?

I also wonder which one of the Big Three (Rihanna, Katy, Gaga) do you see having the most longevity?

[Spears_Stan]

Hey bill, do you think the shipment criteria for albums (500K=Gold, 1M=Platinum, 10M=Diamond) needs to be adjusted with the decline in general sales?

"Britney or La Toya Jackson?"

"Will Gaga have a #1 song in 2025?"

Like shut up.

Hey Bill, can you verify that Taylor sold 1 million digital tracks in Christmas Week 2012? Because Billboard didn't post an offical article about her although when adding the Neilsen Soundscan numbers for her songs that week, the result was over a million.

[Guy]

Hi Bill.

Do you think Mariah will ever reach the summit again and finally get her 19th #1?

I think music videos have brought new life to music of every genre. There were a few years between when mtv stopped playing them and YouTube emerged when the art form was dead. I love videos as a story telling extension and a platform for personality.
Probably katy for longevity. But that's a total crap shoot. All three will be fine if they stay healthy
