Spotify is counted more on the charts than iTunes in US, UK, etc these days lol. Streaming is literally 80% of the U.K. Singles Chart now.

iTunes is overrr.

Okay so are you really gonna say spotify is the most accurate way to measure public interest when Adele's next single debuts at like #3 despite selling more than every Rihanna and Drake song because she won't put it on spotify...?

yea, the reason you cant directly say x would have sold y amount in 2013 is because the spotify and itunes demographics are extremely different. so the competition is only affecting certain songs on itunes drastically. Its not like album sales where everyone went from buying to pirating, yet anyways

Sales are down for all genres and all songs. Which is why this years top selling song is at like 1.9M while in 2012 & 2014 at this point in the year, the top selling song had sold over 5M.

We obviously can't say "this song for SURE would've done ___" but the point of adjusting is to see how impressive a number is for the climate at hand. Digital sales for current hits are down almost 60%~ since 2013, so a song doing 140K in a climate 60%~ lower is moreso just as impressive as doing 315K in the climate 60%~ higher.

I only bought Hello because I wanted to be a part of the record breaking first week sales hihi

that would be her fault. the hot 100 is a popularity chart, being less available to the public will make it by default less popular than things that are more available.

There needs to be some way to keep the charts credible in case your manager is Scooter Braun and he spams your singel on all existing playlists.

Billboard is basically a Taylor Swift fanpage at this point. They would never let that happen.
