It probably will.
Just like all other music consumption platforms, it will evolve over time. That doesn't mean it isn't an important metric. Nor does that logic justify excluding it from the Hot 100 formula at this very moment. Even if it were to somehow "die" in the not too distant future, it's still a good determinant of popular music right
now, and that's what Billboard needs to measure. Furthermore, It's not like we're excluding digital sales at this point even though they might "die" in the next half decade or so.
