i believe sales should be worth more! cause what if a song is being played a lot but of bought?

It's a rarity, a radio smash doesn't have good sales.

But it's absolutely common people like One Direction can go #1 on iTunes with a new single, despite it not being played by radio which is why it's far more inaccurate depending on sales to determine popularity.

I'm sure a large percentage of people buy a song on itunes because they heard it on the radio first!

Aren't iTunes video downloads very minimal though? Like, the #1 video sells like 1k copies?

Then they can simply be added to Hot Digital Songs since video also has the song in it.

Streaming:
60% Spotify type of services
40% Youtube type of services (official videos, lyric videos, audio videos, performance videos or "handmand" videos)


Once streaming dominates the Hot 100, it will truly show the most popular song of that week. Pop artists with big followings can manage to have big debuts (One Direction and Lady Gaga come to mind) thanks to the dominance of the digital charts without being really popular, but people only stream the song on Spotify if the song is actually good.
Of course, we would still have big debuts by teen phenomenons such as One Direction thanks to YouTube, but the charts weren't made to show our favorite songs, they were made to show the most popular songs.

we're kinda talking about the hot100 here where airplay played a big part in mariah's 18, no offense but stay on topic.

people spending their money >> wanting to listen to that particular song for free (in most cases) >> randomly listening to a radio station in the car where a song may or not may be played regardless of whether you like it.

Yet her sales were a bigger role, so the reach is dumb.

Have fun with the Flamebait report though!

and that's what some people just don't get. you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink which is why all these inflated radio hits (Burn, Daylight, Don't You Worry Child, Clarity, Stay The Night, etc.) have such disappointing sales.

This is probably close to the actual formula they are using right now.
