Where do u see predictions for songs and albums?

For albums, thanks God Billboard made them all the weeks.. But for songs it's more hard to predict but I use my mind trying to predict them.. We're gonna see decreases in many songs 'cause there's no Grammy Effect.. But Thrift Shop is not showing signs of "free-falling", it's fine it's showing some kind of impressive longevity

I'm fine with this addition of Youtube streams. BB just needs to get all these factors balanced tho. Sales must be the biggest factor while radio must be lowered.

I just realized that Britt Nicole and Austin Mahone are close to getting into the Hot 100

We'll need a sticky thread for streaming/Youtube now.

And britney will get a #3 cursed forever...
Bye a #2 peak..

Will Rihanna be able to stay in the Top 5 with her video being blocked?

It's unblocked.

I HATE the new rule.

[MusicTalker]

My prediction for next week :

1 Harlem Shake
2 Thrift Shop
3 One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks) - its video got like 15 million views I think
4 Stay
5 When I Was Your Man
6 Scream & Shout
7 I Knew You Were Trouble
8 Started from the Bottom
9 Suit & Tie
10 Locked Out of Heaven

Does the video have to be a VEVO account to be able to chart?

Nope even parodies are included

[mlwswot]

yes

[umich]

The only hard thing for predicting the streaming songs points is figuring out how many views of those are from the US.

[PurrKaty]

So can I make a 5 second parody of The One That Got Away and repeat it a billion times so it can go #1?

they detect for spam views, so you wouldn't be able to get away with that

[Crazytowel]

Wait, so are all youtube hits counted? Even ones from other countries?

Only US views are counted. But all Youtube hits are counted for videos that contain audio of the original song.
