In a new popularity measure for the Hot 100 chart, weekly album sales are now tabulated along with the existing three methods - single sales, airplay, and streams.
As a result, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are set to replace Katy Perry and Juicy J atop the Hot 100 with their urban-to-pop crossover hit, "Drunk In Love," when revealed on Wednesday.
Full details with explanation will follow shortly.
Looks to be another strong streaming week. What was it last week, I can't remember
For DrIL, it was 4,018,914 at this same point last week. Also, bear in mind that Sunday's numbers still need to be added to this, so the total VEVO streams will be a bit higher than the 3.4M.

But it includes sunday 2th, so the total would be less than 3.4 M.
Last week it was at 6.5m I think (not including sunday), where it would have gotten more views. So around 1m diffference. But in terms of points it will probably be stable whereas other songs will drop, so it might have a chance.
It appears that the "Can't Remember To Forget You" video is more popular than the actual song. I mean, it's the #1 streamed video everywhere basically, yet it's struggled to top most music charts. I wonder what that video could have done in combination with a more radio friendly song.
In the least, it's giving her tremendous exposure. Hopefully, this will set Shakira up for a stronger 2nd single.
