The new "Love" swaps Bieber's vocals for Kelly's and contains different lyrics (so, although sonically similar to the original, it's treated as a separate entry). The first title on the chart for R&B star Kelly bows with 25,000 downloads sold, according to Nielsen Music, also good for top 10 arrivals on Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales (No. 5) and R&B Digital Song Sales (No. 9).

Concurrently, Snake's first "Love," featuring Bieber, earns top Digital Gainer honors on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs (at its No. 2 peak for a whopping 12th week), up 154 percent to 103,000 (with sales for most songs up noticeably in the week ending Dec. 29, due to holiday shopping). The track also returns to the top of Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales (2-1).

BB separated both versions.

In the past, BB combined remixes as long as the main artist was the same on both versions. BB changed its rules here, and I'm not sure why. I read the reasons, but this contradicts what BB has done with songs like Love in the past. So I guess from here on out we will not necessarily know when remixes are combined and when they are not. This separation decision seems rather arbitrary at best, and completely inconsistent at worst.

B&B & BB aren't too strong this week.. I wonder if Ed has a chance of debuting at #1? Too bad he released 2 songs instead of 1, that surely slowed down his momentum.

I guess we will have to wait and see how he performs on ODS sites. Has he released lyric videos for either song? Even with fairly weak #1s, he must have strong streaming support to reach the top. B&B has a huge streaming edge, even if its sales aren't that spectacular, and its airplay is next to nonexistent.

That's why I argue so strongly for a reweighting of the metrics. A #1 song should be better balanced, and not just surging due to one (or in some cases even just 1/2) of a H 100 component. Sales, while down a bit, still should carry more weight than they do right now. Hopefully BB will rectify this matter within the next couple of weeks.

Yes he has lyric videos up and they're already surging with views, I believe one already has 400k views.

And I agree, sales should weigh more, even 70k sales should mean something more like 140k sales did a year ago or for example, double the points for sales, like you said.. Something. Because streaming and radio are weighing too much, regardless of how little sales are they do mean something.

Not getting more likely with 2 Ed songs debuting top 10 next week, which is probably STYB's peak.

Dont be so sure. Bad & Boujee is surging with massive streams.

And more growth on the radio obviously.
