Would Shape of You beat this record in a pre-streaming era? Would The Chainsmokers have been #1 for song in a pre-steaming era? It's debatable. as much as I despise the chainsmokers, the fact that streaming has led to more stagnant charts is logical. the bb100 is there to inform us about the most popular song in a given week. before, if a song was a big #1, and a popular artist dropped their song the next week, the new song would be #1 because it had the most sales naturally even if the previous songs was being played more and is more popular. nowadays even if big artists drop their songs they wont get #1 just because of their fans' sales. it sucks for us pop stans but it's logical as far as the bb100 32 minutes ago, IndieKylie said: The weight of streaming for Billboard charts makes success on such charts a less opportune possibility for new or up-and-coming artists this is just inaccurate, the charts used to be full of main pop stars and popular artists but now more and more im seeing unknowns make it on the charts, like that lil uzi vert dude or xxxtentacion and a lot more. again dont like them at all but thats whats popular in the us chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed is popular... and y'all have to accept it either you like him or not. I personally don't like him but that's what the GP is here for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeman 189 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 "Mr Mee’s story was about when Ed came over for tea and his mother gave them both sausage and mash to eat, not realising the young singer was at the time a vegetarian. In typically polite fashion, Ed was said to have eaten the meal without complaint and told his friend’s mother they were the best sausages he had ever eaten. “It was the first time I ever had meat,” said Ed." http://www.eadt.co.uk/news/ed-sheeran-reunited-with-his-best-mate-from-brandeston-hall-on-graham-norton-show-1-4858342 BS bS Bs "I used to be a vegetarian, from the age of like zero to ten. Then my grandmother “accidentally” gave me a bacon sandwich. I was like ‘oh this is amazing!’ and she said ‘Yeah it’s bacon’ so I said ‘Oh! Is it? Cool.’ And ever since then I’ve eaten meat. My brother’s still a vegetarian though." http://articles.courant.com/2013-07-26/entertainment/hc-ed-sheeran-talks-tour-music-popularity-and-fast-food-before-his-first-ct-appearance-20130726_1_tour-taylor-swift-atlantic-records/3 BS BS BS BS BFS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
