Question. This might be silly but why do people use the system sales+airplay in points like they are equal? Like 100k sales plus 50 mil AI = 150 pts? Isn't that a pretty flawed way to predict the chart? Doesn't Billboard use the formula 55% Airplay, 40% sales and 5% streaming?
yes, billboard uses the 50/45/5 formula for their hot 100 calculations.
people around here use the 50/50 method as a rough estimate. most of the time, it's almost accurate. since we don't know the streaming points for each song, we just use the 50/50 method and guesstimate.

I don't think we know actually know an exact formula, the ones used for predictions are all estimates, but we know sales and AI are fairly even but with a little more weight given towards AI, and that in really close cases streaming will be the determining factor.
They need to release the remixs on Monday February 20 to iTunes, they usually give you a push. That'll be after Madonna at the Superbowl, and after Adele slays at the Grammys, and it'll add to the longevity, and by then it'd be a lot higher in airplay.

You're right. I feel like Adele is going to plummet HARD after Grammy week because so many people will already have the song.

Yup, I said back in November that I didn't think SFTTR would hit #1 because so many people already had the song from buying the album. Obviously, I was wrong but really how long can it last?
I think that a big reason as to why Walk Away never went Top 10 is because so many people already had the Breakaway album in the U.S.
The album sales are bound to kill off her single sales eventually...right?
Yeah Adele will be decreasing on Feb 20, Madonna will have been out for a couple weeks, hype will be wearing off. Only issue is if Katy releasing a new single & Rihannas Talk That Talk. Plus that song Somebody That I Used To Know may come for wigs.
it could work
