Ideally - out of all this mess, The Weeknd will end up #1

poor lana

I lowkey feel like dragging and I stan for her. Billboard is a mess, the Bill era was the best.

[Lucas32]

they're obviously holding back because Lana is actually at #1 and not #7
Come through Lana

[iHype.]

Ddd if tomorrow ends up being real interesting for the "So she outsold Applause " posts.

I wonder how much of the Hot 100 this actually effected.

People need to calm down. None of us acted extra when it was all announced.

her's was clearly false, and it's pretty clear they're trying to correct her sales, and make sure the others are right as well

[that G.U.Y.]

Lana will still be top 20 either way she wins.

Now who was that slick poster who brought up Applause first week sales. Let me find ha.

But the thing is, the number was there. Even if it didn't seem logical, billboard is supposed to be s credible source for information. It's not like Lana fans were lying. We were given information from a "credible source", so we trusted it.

Librarian: So everybody, your facts have to come from multiple reliable sources.
Student: Well, I've got this source, is that enough?
Librarian: No, you've got to have at least three.
Student: Why?
Librarian: Well, remember when we were told that Lana Del Rey's song High By The Beach debuted at #7 on the Hot 100?

A bunch of question marks should be added into the thread title:

H100: #7? Lana? w/248k?, Omi back to #1 BB200: Luke #1

This.

I understand, but it kinda looks funny at this point

Anyways, it was very suspicious from the beginning, i mean the song was at #60 (iTunes) when Billboard published those high numbers.

Y'all are assuming this, there could be other reasons for them to post the chart tomorrow.

Billboard is a major publication, they don't just make up sales and post them without checking.

[Killua.]

I'm perched for the actual numbers.

It just seems highly suspicious that everyone expressed such strong skepticism - some of us to the editors and chart builders themselves - and they've now delayed the chart, as if to review it for errors, you know?

[Cathryn Hudson]

Y'all know damn well no one be checking the 'Chart!!' in real life.

The prediction was ~70k and Billboard out of nowhere said 248k. It's just the most logical explanation for this delay that the 248k was wrong.
Could be another explanation of course.
