+ songs like AOM / Happy that are stuck there because airplay are among the highest airplay hits of all-time so it's not like it's not deserved.

I know I get that. The reason I personally think radio shouldn't be counted is due to it being the only format in the formula that the public has no direct control over. We can purchase a song by choice, stream a song by choice, but when it comes to radio, we have no choice nor options over what's played. Although some stations may allow voting, it's from a selected list of songs that
they plan on playing, with no outside suggestions. Then they play that song over and over, for months on end, causing a long reign in the top 10, even if people aren't purchasing or streaming the song anymore or nearly as much as to match its airplay. That's just why I don't think it's fair

I feel like the chart needs to reflect what the GP wants, and I'm sure that most people don't want to hear All of Me or Happy anymore. But based off of the current formula, it makes sense as to why it's #7.
