The resurgence of "Ball" helps keep Eminem's "The Monster," featuring Rihanna, at No. 2 for a fourth week. Still, the collaboration claims the chart's top Airplay Gainer award for a fourth week, climbing 6-4 on Radio Songs with a 14% increase to 119 million. It racks a third week atop the On-Demand Songs chart (2.2 million, down 12%), while dipping 3-4 on Streaming Songs (5.7 million, down 6%) and falling 1-2 on Digital Songs (after three weeks at No. 1) with 231,000 downloads sold (down 4%). "Monster" spends a fifth week at No. 1 on both Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Rap Songs.

As it bounds by 55% in overall Hot 100 points, "Ball" handily wins the race to No. 1 over "Monster" (up 2%). A 20% difference in points separate the songs.

"Royals" relinquishes its command not only over the Hot 100 (1-3) but also Radio Songs, where it falls 1-2 after six weeks on top (131 million, down 7%). It descends 2-3 on Streaming Songs (5.9 million, down 9%) and 2-5 on Digital Songs (144,000, down 19%). The track tops Hot Rock Songs for a 14th week.

Nnnnn at Rihanna having to wait another week to perch atop her rightful throne. Coming for that Christmas #1 yet again

[Fanik]

[Dragana]

That's fine. Congrats.



The Monster vid should be out in at LEAST 2 Weeks time, so this will only solidify a reign through Christmas and into the New Year.

More chart honors for Cyrus: The nine-week gap between "Ball" topping the Hot 100 marks the longest in the Hot 100's 55-year history for a song in one chart run.

NINE weeks between being at #1, slay Miley slay

[liberalmusiclover]

I can't at these viral streams counting towards the Hot 100. It's only a matter of time before pop stars begin dirty tactics like leaking sex tapes and what not with the audio of their singles

[Devon]

And to think Wrecking Ball was originally a promo single

[Nialler]

The new formula is a joke. That video isn't even her, The Monster should have been #1,

[slicknickshady]

Em will get his 5th #1 Next Week. So it's all good.

But the viral video was popular, which means Wrecking Ball got more listens this week, which means the impact and popularity of Wrecking Ball was higher this week. With the new formula, the Hot 100 is more accurate than ever actually.

[RainDreamer]

(Also of note: Effective last week, the methodology for the Hot 100, along with Billboard's genre hybrid songs charts, has changed slightly to rebalance desired chart ratios for sales, airplay and streaming. With streaming usage rising and new streaming services recently added to the Hot 100's data feed, the streaming portion of the chart has been at or above its desired average ratio in recent weeks. Such adjustments to these multi-data pool charts are common, and, for example, were implemented on the Hot 100 on occasions where download sales had increased exponentially.)

finally

[Tsuko]

It says in the article they decreased Streaming because it's been having a bigger ratio in the Hot 100 in recent weeks, but isn't that just because sales always drop around this time of year (thus, giving airplay and streaming a bigger share)?
So when sales go back to normal in a couple of months then streaming will have a smaller share than it should do.
