The chart should be far more based on digital sales than radio airplay. People don't decide what gets played on the radio, but they do decide what gets to top the iTunes charts, and they have to pay for it. Everyone knew about the iconic High School Musical anyway.
Idg while y'all always downplay radio because of that.
1. H100 is not based on what people like... it's based on the most listened to songs in America. Radio is a huge part of measuring the most heard songs. 150,000,000 hearing the song on radio definitely isn't less than 50,000 people buying it on iTunes.
2. When you count digital as a huge part, just as much messes happen. What about those songs that the public as a whole has never even heard constantly going Top 10 on iTunes? Like did you forget when One Direction's Best Song Ever was #1 on digital, but Blurred Lines was #1 on Hot 100? It would've been a mess if a One Direction song nobody knew 'was the #1 hit in America', especially over a song like Blurred Lines.
Their current formula with sales, airplay, and streams is mostly fine.
Even without radio "Hung Up" still managed to be the most successful dance song of the 00s in the US, according to Billboard. Madead always win.

He's talking about that dumbass Dance Club Songs chart where she has like 50 #1's despite clubs actually not playing her at all, and that chart being exposed for being fraudulent and the DJ's simply putting their favorite songs, being paid by labels to list singles, etc a long time ago.

It baffles me how Iggy's team thinks that she's popular enough to embark upon her own arena tour. The entire commercial performance of this tour is literally deriding off of the success of "Fancy" and nothing else.
Oh, & speaking of tours WHERE are the people who said Usher's tour couldn't sell when I was gone. 'Cus my date...
Phillips Arena was looking good that night.
Iggy is just the Vanilla ice of this generation. In Hip Hop, you need a solid platform to last. Iggy doesn't have that. The pop audience is already tired of her "featuring white unknown pop female singer" formulaic singles. She's already banished from Hip Hop. So what's next?
