I agree. Sales should average at least 40% of the Hot 100's point formula, and only four songs in this week's Top 20 are at 40%*+.

But nobody is buying songs anymore

Airplay is the most-listened to format, what most people listen to throughout the week
Streaming has begun to overtake sales in revenue and as a main source of listening.

So in reality Streaming > Airplay > Sales should be the formula

If people buys a song it means that they liked it more than people who just listened to it...

I think one spot will be open in the Top 10 this week. Chandelir has lost a big chunk of Radio AI and will be exiting the top 10. Either Boom Clap, which surged in airplay this week, or Rather Be will take that open spot. Jeremiah is also on the runner up spot.

Steadily waiting for the day people realize Hot 100 is a chart that measures most popular not most loved.

They're almost equal on Spotify- the difference will be negligible.

RB is decreasing on radio, while BC is peaking.

On iTunes I'm fairly sure RB will sell more, but the gap won't be as big as the airplay gap.

I think BC will get it.

[Ger-55]

I also think Boom Clap is likely gonna get it. It has way more chances than Rather Be

And this will be the 3rd time Boom Clap reentering Top 10? would that be a record?

[Supernatural]

Can TIHWD go Top 20 this week or has any chance at Top 20 at all?

[MMMinaj]

The fact that Anaconda will STILL be top 5 this upcoming week. Lol @ all those people who thought it would immediately drop after it's huge viral week.

[ARTPØP]

I personally, think and pray that "Rather Be" is the winner of the #10 spot.

It's #7 on iTunes, while Boom Clap is #14.

It's #15 on Spotify, while Boom Clap is #16.

The only thing that Boom Clap has over it is radio, but they're both peaking.

It'll probably be "Boom Clap," but I pray that "Rather Be" gets one week in the top 10, it deserves it.

The fact that it's still fighting for Top 3 A really solid hit

The radio airplay gap is 150 for BC vs 89 AI for RB. That's 60 AI difference.
in Sales, RB probably will outsell BC by 10,000 units.

Predictions for this week for the Top 10?

[Green]

Boom Clap will be #10 over Rather Be. It has much more airplay and sales are the pits so they won't make too much difference.

Lol no. It is not uncommon for songs to re-enter a bunch of times.

1D's Story Of My Life did at least 4 times, and I am sure other did far more.
