@bwerde you guys are giving these #1's away too easily with these youtube views

he said

Baauer had a singular phenomenal week. Record-breaking at YouTube. Won't happen often.

@Bwerde Does the new Billboard Hot 100 rule include live performances on YouTube as well?

he said

it would if they generated enough plays

What's considered "enough" plays?

he said

more than anyone else?

@bwerde literally every single Bieber song is going to go #1 from now on

he said

if his song gets played enough it's deserved.

@bwerde Wait! I have the ultimate question. If I covered pop songs on trombone and they blow up on YT, can I chart on the Hot 100? haha

he said

yes. Good luck getting to 20 million views tho.

I dont even know how to interpret this shade, but all R&B artists are ****ed. You sister Miguel is ****ed. Their main department is airplay. Even if they also get some good digital downloads, they will never be able to compete in the streaming/youtube.

I don't think it will hurt R&B artists. I think it might help them if anything. The inclusion of digital sales back in 2005 is what caused their downfall. Youtube streaming won't be so bad.

I agree with Vevo views

Welp. Rih will snatch Mariah's wig in no time now.

[TVilla]

So The Tampon Video will most likely debut in the top 20 right????

R&B/hip hop artists do well in terms of streaming...

This actually does help underground artists because if a song from a mixtape (like Bill tweeted) has enough views, it can at least chart.

Sales:
01 01 Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Featuring Wanz, Thrift Shop 412,000
03 NE Baauer, Harlem Shake 262,000
Airplay:
MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS – Thrift Shop f/Wanz: 154.384 (+ 1.221)
BAAUER - Harlem Shake: 2.124
Chart:
01 NE 01 Baauer, Harlem Shake
02 01 20 Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Featuring Wanz, Thrift Shop

Harlem Shake has something like 3.5x the Hot 100 chart points than Thrift Shop.
That **** is ****ing ridiculous. No words.

Nope.

He responded to me

RT @bwerde: American RT @fckwithroman: @bwerde Will global views be counted or only American views for YT/VEVO ?

[Auris]

NO. NO. NO. This is not music!!! While I applaud Billboard for incorporating YT... ****ING HARLEM SHAKE IS NOT A SONG! It is trap NOISE. That is all it is, noise, the trap genre is LAUGHED AT by people in the EDM industry!!! So bad!!!

Not to mention that nobody likes the actual full track... they only even KNOW the first 30 seconds!!! There is no official MV and just... UGH HORRIBLE!!!

These 30 second clips should NOT be counted and ****ING TRAP MUSIC should not exist!!!

The thing about Harlem Shake charting is that the actual song has less than 5 million views on YouTube. (Some stars get that in a day.)

The only reason people are watching the other videos are for the dancing.

It's the same as a song getting popular for a commercial or a movie or a story caught by the media.

[Monster Boy]

MESS.

[SayIt]

Will Bruno still be able to top hot 100 with WIWYM?

[Beethoven]

He's also considering album streams now!

What. The. Hell.
