Letting this song in the top 10 says its currently the 9th most popular song in the country which is untrue.

Bitch could've used XO if thats the case.

And the 6th week when DIL was in the H100 T10 but missed the airplay T5 AND the sales T10.

aka the 7th week you're pressed.

Why do y'all care so much? It's just #9. It's not l like it went #1 for weeks like Harlem Shake.

That's because Let it go has minimal radio support and DrIL is in the top 3 for streaming. Not sure why you're so surprised, LIG only made top 10 last week because of promo.

I am WAY past LIVID. That this Soko garbage is in the top 10... like it doesn't even make any sense AT ALL.

The fact that this song that nobody even knows is being portrayed as the 9th most popular song in the country, and true hits like "Burn" and "Same Love" can't even get one week in the top 10 prove to me that the Hot 100 is a BIG joke.

The worst part about this SOKO mess is that it's in the Top 10 due to a video that has nothing to do with the song itself, yet when "Let Her Go" was featured in that massively popular SuperBowl commercial, those views weren't counted towards its streaming points. It's almost as if the decision to include streams is completely arbitrary

Яeo.

Let Her Go could've gone #1 with that.

Was not expecting this

I came home to see this.

This is pathetic and a complete disgrace to the Billboard charts. I don't care how many times a video gets viewed, it does not make the song popular. NOBODY was watching that video for the song. I mean, why the **** would you consider that song popular just because a video with it in it was viewed a few million times? I liked the Billboard charts much better when they weren't ****ed up because of this ****** YouTube rule. Official music videos are the only videos that should be counted towards streaming. And I hate how Gary Trust writes these articles as if it's no big deal that an UNKNOWN song enter in the top 10 of the most prestigious and popular music chart there is.

Originally thought to be a purely viral creation, "Kiss" was revealed as a collaboration between Soko and Wren, a womenswear brand.

This makes me even more fed up. Absolutely pathetic. NO COMPANY WHATSOEVER should be able to influence a music chart. Advertising has already crept into almost every corner of our world, and there is no need for it in music.

Just because a video clip of a song is widely viewed on YouTube does not make a song popular. This incident has sapped a good bit of my passion for the Billboard charts, and I am extremely disappointed by the judgement of the entire Billboard team.

Here's the streaming pattern for "First Kiss."

I told you I was right! I searched high and low for stuff about a viral video when I heard about a top 10 debut.

UnusualBoy

I can't at the meltdowns over this song, it's not like it went #1 or it blocked your faves song, get over it

Retro

Kii at this proving that MTN Streaming Week would have worked if the goal was hit and essentially making the same point I was trying to make an full year ago.

Is it the 9th most popular song in the country? NO!

These charts are supposed to be accurate, you know.

calm down. It's just a chart. The digital chart is better anyway. It will probably fall out of the top 10 by next week anyway. Let Soko have her time to shine

Just the most important chart in the music business that's viewed by millions each day. Billboard is misleading the public!
