Well at least 5 songs are still selling 10k a day. We're not quite at the levels of the first 12 months of the HDS chart yet.

The iTunes charts are not only losing popularity; but losing interest factor. Am I the only one? It use to be interesting rushing to see the positions every few hours, now it's so boring. I feel like the same songs are stuck in the same spots because sales are low. Maybe it just has to do with lack of big releases period this year, but idk.
Even the Spotify daily chart feels more interesting to see. I swear iTunes chart has had nothing noticeable in the last month besides Hotline Bling's ascent.  Plus with the Spotify chart, you get actual raw numbers daily, which is interesting to keep track of for chart purposes, archive purposes, record purposes, and seeing how much Streaming is growing.

It's nice to see that the top seller is expected to at least double the #10 song's sales.
Of recent #1s, What Do You Mean did it thrice, Face did it twice, and Hills hasn't managed it at all.
(Since Youtube was incorporated, the only other #1 with as few weeks doubling the #10 seller is Harlem Shake with 2.)

Yikes at these sales. The likes of Ariana, Katy, and Taylor won't even do 400K+ with their next leads.

Taylor should win, Bieber always sells a little less than what Kworb predicts

And I thought the sales slump will be over when Apple Music free trial ends 
Taylor really needs to jump into streaming. She will lose ha power and relevance if she won't tbh.

Well, She still has:
album sales
touring receipts
Youtube streaming
radio airplay
acclaim
industry respect and awards
on her side, aside from still strong singles sales relative to the climate.
I don't see that not having Spotify will render her powerless or irrelevant.
Voice:
96 Dream a Little Dream of Me, Amy Vachal
100 Stars, Shelby Brown

The fact that Drake never declined at any point from 2009-on and is having some of his biggest success ever this year. Truly the Taylor Swift of hip-hop.
