That's not how it works.

It's a rolling chart based on the past 24 hours. If you start selling badly, then you'll get red updates.

So is your theory that the #1 song will start to drop below 100%?

You can be 100% and still get red bars.

It's based on your rolling sales over the past 24 hours. If every song including #1 started selling substantially less the past 24 hours, they'd get red bars, even if the %'s remained the same. What's hard to understand?

It seems as if Apple Music isn't have an immediate effect on sales.

On the Pop Bars, it's an average level of songs in the T100 with red bars, and most are songs from BET Awards & Meek's album tracks which were destined to drop w/o AM since the effect of the Award Show and album release has worn off now.

Since the Pop Bars is a rolling chart, you'd think most songs would have red bars by now since it's in comparison to how they were selling 24 hours ago before AM.

What was the expected effect? Less digital sales?

No. Not all songs can get red updates. You have 20 dark red updates, 20 pink updates, 20 white ones, and 40 green ones, or something like that. Even if all the songs stop selling, they still have the same percentages relatively to each other. There is no way to predict the amount of sales from the percentages alone.

She can't even make a measly Rolling Stone list (the most untalented prostitute-friendly publication) anymore

The absolute and total lack of relevance and star power wow

Wait, I'm confused, if it isn't a rolling chart then why do songs go the first 24 hours without any red updates.

yeah. I don't see myself buying anymore music and I've been buying heavily since 2013.

It is a rolling chart. But that only affects the colors if people stop buying one song, not all songs at once. The colors will probably be more aleatory now though.

I was gonna say don't listen to ha but I counted all the colored ones and all four have 18 songs right now so I'm like v confused now. I thought I had this Kworb **** down.

Altho I'll note that the colors are a Kworb addition, they aren't a thing in any way on the actual pop bars or other sites that measure them.

Does the current BIllboard 200 chart include SEA?

Yep!

[rihannafan]

Yes the colors just indicate the progression of the sales compared to the other songs. During the first 24 hours, a song's percentage can't decrease, but it can have a red update though it's unlikely.

Yes, but it's currently at such a low rate. It only effects a few albums with huge hits.

15,000,000 streams in SEA is equivalent to only 10K sales rn. But with SEA, they really really do work out in the longrun and produce big #'s. Ed Sheeran's album did no more than 10K in SEA first week, and now has over 1M in SEA.

[Kworb]

It's 18 songs in each color. You can have green updates and still lose sales, it just means the other songs are losing more.

We won't really know the Apple Music effect until the first sales figures are released next week. Or maybe Billboard will post an article before that.

Wait Lee Daniels (the creator of Empire) is gay.

Wow. Poor the straight homophobes who love the show, yet have to put up with a gay storyline, a gay creator, and recently a gay BET Performance. You're going straight to hell for loving it too.

[santos]

why would it affect sales when you can just listen to it over and over for free?
