Hi Bill. Do you think Radio is currently too big of a factor on Hot 100?
Radio is highly manipulated by DJs, Clear Channel stations, behind the curtain deals etc, and does not always represent the public's genuine interest in songs which are overplayed there.
Examples: Maroon 5's One More Night, Love Somebody. Justin Timberlake's Take Back The Night, even Mirrors.
All huge radio hits with relatively poor sales, but the airplay alone is enough to carry them high on the Hot 100.
Are there any plans to lower down Radio influence to previous numbers of around 2010/2011. I think it was more fair back then.
By tthe way Bill right next to the "reply w/ quote" is a chat symbol. If you click on it, it will allow you to quote a user. when you want to actually begin a reply to a user, you can press a "reply w/quote" and all the quotes you selected will show up in a message so you can reply to multiple people.
How did you get to your position you are in today?

One More Night sold over 4 million copies. Its radio/sales ratio is good. Love Somebody & Take Back the Night are good examples though.

Good tip, I didn't find out about the multi-quote until a year + after I joined DX

The chart has nothing to do with the publics genuine interest just how popular songs are.
