[ClashAndBurn]

I wish "Burn" could make it in the top ten, but...

[Losing my ground]

Royals outselling Roar

I hope Timber goes #1. And I'm not even a Pitbull/Ke$ha stan.

Which are the three songs that increased its sales?

[Jeffsuxx]

is timber #1? please say yes

The Hot 100 formula is fine as is. People only get pressed when it doesn't benefit their fav

You can't speak for other people.

A formula doesn't benefit anyone, is the same for everyone.

But i still think Sales should be a bigger factor. My opinion won't change even if DH goes #1 for 10 weeks.

It was better before they changed the weight on airplay.

Royals will outsell California Gurls and E.T., before it is all said and done. I see Roar plateauing with CG/ET.

This. Sales should account for at least 50%.

....What are u talking about?

*sighs*

Artists that get a large amount of airplay support and streaming clearly benefit. It would be offset if they put more emphasis on digital sales for album sellers and older artists' fans that don't stream music.

My point is no matter how much the formula changes there will always be losers and if your fav is the loser u will be pressed

Like I was saying in the airplay thread.

Sales should be the most important factor, but because the Hot 100 has so many different criteria now, and some unfairly weighted, a song that isn't even the most popular can be #1 on the Hot 100.

Timber has been above The Monster in sales and streams but because radio is overplaying The Monster constantly, timber is stuck at #2 on the Hot 100 despite obviously being the more popular song.

The Monster has sold 2.4 million WITH Christmas sales, a MV, **** load of airplay, and it's already dropping.

It doesn't really deserve all these weeks at #1 it's getting.

And Kesha is not my fav so let's not even try that with me. I just think the song is undeserving

[Gladion]

I think its ok formula.
But Sales should be at least 50-60%

[Idontcareaboutyou]

As far as streaming is concerned, I don't really mind it since it's the people's choice after all. Airplay on the other hand is just too fixed for my taste. A single can chart high on the hot 100 thanks to airplay when it's not selling that well or doing anthing in terms of streaming meaning people just don't want it.

07 - Lorde - Royals (183,000│4,598,000)

Lorde's success is kinda underrated by ATRLers huh?

Congrats to both of them

Lorde has one hugely successful song, tho I'm sure Team will do well. Besides, Royals is like CMM and STIUTK, it's an anomaly. Katy's having another 4 million selling single (soon to be 5 ) 6 years into her career, there's a difference. Katy's is more impressive.

This though.

The fact that Katy can consistently get 5x platinum singles every era is amazing.
