#4. WMYB = 294 sales + 42 airplay + 61 streaming = 397 points (85k sales lead)
The only way GYC could still be ahead of WMYB is if Billboard changed the formula so that sales count less relative to airplay (both songs had nearly identical streaming points).

Those "point" views are more like rough estimations. Each of the categories is actually weighted by a percentage. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's something like 40% sales, 50% airplay and 10% streaming. So, try it more like:
3. GYC = 209(.4) + 106(.5) + 66(.1) = 143.2
4. WMYB = 294(.4) + 42(.5) + 61(.1) = 144.7
Which is a smaller disparity.
