Streaming negates the whole concept of an album for charting purposes... Once streaming fully takes over people like Flo Rida and Rihanna who could never sell albums en masse in the US will suddenly start looking they they can actually push units when instead people are just listening to the HOT song of the moment over and over.

Rihanna has sold 10x Flo Rida's discography, I wouldn't put them in the same category at all. Either way, she was getting decent streaming from Needed Me before it became a single and Sex With Me and Desperado are still fueling the album.

Panda ha reign.

Adele dropped out in the most unfair way. I demand reparations.

Had Adele's label released at least the major remixes of Hello to music download and streaming websites, I think she would've reached 14 weeks at #1, have sales of over 6 million, and still rank inside the Top 30. However, that didn't happen, so Hello's reign was cut significantly shorter than it should've been.

I know that the Urban station down here in Tampa Bay still plays the Rick Ross remix of Hello all of the time. Just that version alone on digital singles and ODS websites would've added significant sales, ODS streaming, and overall longevity to all parts of Hello's chart run! I really wish Adele's label would've officially recognized and released the main remixes to metrics other than just radio.

This.

Plus what's happening is an anomaly. People are talking like this happens regularly. Just let the moment be. No need to scream for chart changes.

It will happen more and more with streaming growing and sales going down...

But Beyoncé's and Prince's songs were both strong digital and streaming wise last week?

We were talking about album tracks charting, so I wasn't talking about Prince at all. Totally different situation and also his streaming was very weak. But of course he benefited from the sales level being low too. Special occasion sales aren't nearly down as much as overall sales.


A new Beyonce release is also a special occasion, but the main point: all 12 Lemonade tracks would have charted on the Hot 100 just based on Tidal streams with 0 sales and Drake will likely chart 16 or 17 additional songs next week just based on Apple Music streams.
As streaming grows we will see that pretty regularly with big album releases.

@Sim, how many streams do you predict for OneDance? Whole album was streamed 191.4m times in 5 days according to BAM

At least 35 million. Possibly 40 million.

Ok, I forgot

One Dance will surely be #1 for a while unless Rihanna & Calvin take over when she releases the music video. That might give her one week, but Once Dance might bounce back and I see him reigning most of the summer..

[LostInStereo100]

Yeah now that OD is practically at 100 million in radio audience which is insanely fast, he is pretty much securing himself to be comfortably on top for quite a while now on Billboard. His radio probably won't even be peaking till June and I could see it going over 200 million easily. He is getting Hot AC adds already and a few spins from UAC already

[Mattyboy]

I'm just glad we're not even halfway into 2016 and have a fair amount of #1's already.

1. Hello (3 weeks)
2. Sorry (3 weeks)
3. Love Yourself (2 weeks)
4. Pillowtalk (1 week)
5. Work (9 weeks)
6. Panda (2 weeks)
7. One Dance (1 week)

Probably. But today it's an anomaly. Prince/Bey/Drake was going to impact the chart regardless, so complaining about changing it is pointless. Even before streaming, big releases still debuted strong on the H100/HDS. That will continue to be.

what are the chances of Needed Me going Top10 next week (not this week's chart, but the following?)

Pretty good I think

will it need to increase sales for that?

or the streaming gains and radio increases will be enough?

Could go top 10 without any gains at all if the Lemonade tracks and some old songs drop enough.

#10 in 2 weeks seems to be very open to me.

Any predictions yet?
