The only real problem was WANEGBT not being played much on country radio but the chart itself was originally to decide the most popular song amd not the song with the most radio play. That was why songs could spend so many weeks at #1. It became essential to actually crossover to actually go #1 much like how today it is essential to crossover if you want to be #1. Its basically the old style but nobody else in country music wants to crossover so it looks unfair.

Everybody hates the new chart rule cause Taylor's taking away their faves number ones. (I'm not referring to any ONE specific person lurkers, but rather everybody that normally gets number ones on the hcs charts) Therefore it's a joke to them, they honestly believe that Taylor is paying Billboard
Yes, the charts are how they used to be when Connie set that record. We will see alot more people breaking that 8 week record more often now that the rules are back to the same way thanks to digital sales, when they see their faves on top for 8 weeks, they'll love the chart
This reminds me of the old Taylor dancing around like that with her glittery guitar
