So despite some people complaining that Billboard is desperate to prop up a dying component, sales are still a distant 3rd in weight.

Any increase in sales' influence makes no sense imo.

So they changed the formula for Rihanna? This is just corrupt at this point.

Let's not be ridiculous now.

Ugh. I wanna root for Pillow Talk but I obv want Love Yourself to get multiple weeks at the top. LY has a chance of returning (if PT does debut at #1) right?

[Colton Haynes]

Ready for ZAYN to get his first #1

Yeah of course.

Stressed Out will probably be the competition in 2 weeks.

[fridayteenage]

Hmm, in theory Zayn would have the lowest #1 debut in over 10 years (since Carrie, back when digital sales were the pits).

OMG They changed the rules

Hands to myself would have been #5 if it wasn't for this

No for both.

I wonder who the next big girl to fall below 200k debut week will be then.
The ones who are even eligible are Adele, Goddess Swift, Beyonce, Katy, Pink, Gaga, and Miley. The last 2 seem pretty likely. Pink's uneven so it'll depend on the impact of her single(s) beforehand. I'm too biased to judge the one in the middle.

if we would have

this week Love Yourself
next Pillowtalk
2 from now - Love Yourself
3 from now - Stressed Out

then it will bo so many movements like never for 3-4 years

[Green]

Prays for Zayn. I hope he debuts at #1 next week

[slw84]

sheena STAYS getting banned right before Bieber gets a new #1.

Does she not want to enjoy the feat

Good for bieber.
What a comeback

[UNNAMI]

Charlie Puth's One Call Away reached gold this week.

I Know What You Did Last Summer will be gold next week. Cake by the Ocean also.

Macklemore's Downtown reached 1m this week.

Thinking Out Loud is at 4,999,899

It's safe to say Adele and Swift won't go lower than 1m.

Beyonce probably won't go lower than 500k, but I'm not that sure about it. If she will go with Tidal, then all is lost.

Katy and Gaga probably will manage to stay in 200-300k range. P!nk probably will have good longevity.

So many questions this week.

Does this mean pop girl lead singles like Part of Me and Hold It Against Me can debut #1 with hardly any streaming (around 400k sales), are the charts like they were in 2010-2011?

Kesha also debuted at #1 along with 280k sales with WRWWR in 2010.

I think Billboard wants more movement in the Hot 100 and more #1s in a year.

Also.. How many #2 hits would've went #1 with this formula.

[highwind44029]

5. My House (+7)

King.

Justin with the 1-2-3 punch.

[IamCY]

3 #1s from Purpose The SLAYAGE

[BritneyFatale]

Hands to Myself #7

Two solo hits in the top 10 at the same time QUEEN None of her peers could ever

(although I am low-key pissed at the new chart formula, HTM would have been #5 this week and sales are dying so it doesn't make any sense)

[Solarie]

Happy for Bieber getting his 3rd #1
My House is catchy. Slay Flo!
HTM in the top 10 finally
Work already top 10 I wonder what will happen to it next.
