I think it would need Soundcloud to have certified accounts so that unofficial and/or people's personal stuff doesn't suddenly chart, however if those songs are indeed being listened to more than actual signed artists, it should count if Billboard aims to be a fair source of popular music. It could really open up the music market and change it for the better if you don't need a huge record deal, just TALENT to succeed.

I'll check with billboard and hopefully they respond. THey respond half the time.
YOu make a good point about all of that unofficial stuff...it would be so challenging to manage but if they found a way (for instance, the replay count limit on vevo) to manage it then I guess it could work.
Well, here's to hoping they release it to vevo tomorrow with the single on itunes
