The variance was very high, because we don't have the Tidal numbers for the individual songs, but I've had Formation predicted at #9

But that's just numbers play. Stepping back and looking at it. Would anyone have predicted before it was put on iTunes that Formation would debut in the Hot 100 top 10? I certainly wouldn't have.

None of us. At first people said she held it off iTunes because she was afraid it would flop. Now that it was released, after being for free for months, it debuted at #10 and now they say they expected more. Bot even i as a hive member expected that. It's an amazing feat.

Lets look back at the predictions. As expected it was impossible this week.

Name	Correctness	Correct songs (top 20)	Total number of positions off
simmnfierzig	65.5%	6	27
FCKNAmbrosia	57%	5	41
Ger-55	50.5%	4	51
Artpop	46%	3	57
Mattyboy	42%	1	59

Correctness is based on a little formula I invented. It's 100% - incorrect songs * 1.5% - number positions off * 0.5%. The numbers are totally random, but make sense to me.

Overall standings

Name	Average Correctness	Weeks picked
simmnfierzig	81.40%	26
Ger-55	80.81%	26
FCKNAmbrosia	80.33%	6
Artpop	76.31%	24
Mattyboy	63.4%	5

pf I still don't believe those Lemonade streaming numbers. How is Prince only getting 400K when his songs are also top 20 in the same streaming service

[Costea]

39. 'Panda' by Desiigner [2072; #1 peak; 10 weeks]

already top 40 YTD. This will be huge

72. 'One Dance' by Drake Featuring WizKid & Kyla [1032; #2 peak; 4 weeks]

Only #10? With her hype on ATRL you'd think it was a lot higher.

Oh, I didn't realize Billboard took ATRL hype into account when compiling the Hot 100. Lol at "only 10." I bet a few months ago you one were one of many people on ATRL who said, "she's scared to release singles because they'll flop."

-The song is months old
-Available for free
-Supposedly suffered backlash

etc, and now it debuts in the Top 10 with 3 days of sales/streaming and you're saying it should've debuted higher?

MESS

Kanye West barely missed the T 10 but sold JUST 57 COPIES???

It's funny how this is not a big deal on atrl when it's kanye; however, when rihanna sold "460" copies.

Ya'll need to keep it consistent

I'm glad kanye is exposing the issue with streams being used as album equivalents.
Things like this happen

Formation was only available on TIDAL and iTunes. What did you expect?
It peaked on Urban radios weeks ago before being put for purchase and it was released for free before the SuperBowl.

According to buzzangle，I think we probably have a accurate daily updated chart about on-demond streams。
Here're the 3 days on-demond songs chart，it should be useful to predict the overall chart.

Kinda tired about people complaining about streaming when most of your faves get decent streaming points anyway and it only helps them.

Streaming is going to take over sales completely at some point in the future and y'all are going to be FUMING.

The misogyny on this site is real. I'm not surprised no one is talking about Kanye selling 57 copies.

If I was 12, it would be sad that you're getting so pressed over a 12 year old. Sip your own lemonade, mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy sis

Pressed is you, being upset to the point that you don't like a record. My lemonade is sweet, because after I press send on this message you become an after thought until I MAYBE come across a quote from you in the future, otherwise - N-O-N-F-A-C-T-O-R. You should try it.

There is not a single post in this thread that complains about streaming
