Urbans not welcome at Billboard's water fountain.

They change the formula WAY too much, it really reduces the validity. The way they change the rules implies that they do so in order to favor who they determine should be more successful on their charts at the time.

I get that things should evolve with time but this is getting a bit too ridiculous. Why does radio still have such a large influence? I'm sure it's because of the big business and payola that makes the US music market go 'round.

If Billboard really wanted to reflect what's truly popular, they'd drop radio to a much smaller degree, but alas, it's all about their website hits and label payola...

No but that's what started all of this.
Taylor asked Spotify to give 1989 to premium subscribers only but Spotify said no and said they want to make it available to all their users. Then things escalated.

I really think this is a large reason for this change.

This is hampering music growth, which Billboard was obviously trying to really push.

Airplay is lowered, too or at least it seems so, I was expecting 1k sales = 1.5M Airplay, but it really looks like 1k = 1M. It's not huge but at least it's not the ridiculous 1k = 750K Airplay

At least it's something, that's why Hozier is above M5 even with almost 100M of difference

Bang Bang dropped out of the top ten?

Element

I didn't even notice that Bang Bang had left

I guess Nicki's record is safe.

I agree with this, I think if they're really gunna do this whole 'digital' thing then have iTunes and streaming more of an influence rather than radio cuz idk I feel like with payola and all that, it makes the radio influence unfair
