Right now if you got to the site it says "The week of 17 September 2016" which doesnt make sense because its like 10 days from now???

And then if you go to the previous week it says "The week of 10 September 2016" which hasnt even come yet (it's this Saturday).

In which of these charts are the downloads and streams from Friday 2 to Thursday 8 are going to go??

BILLBOARD HOT 100 & GENRE HYBRID SONGS, AIRPLAY CHARTS
All radio charts, including the all-format Radio Songs chart and genre tallies, will run on a Monday to Sunday cycle. Notably, Radio Songs, which informs the Hot 100, will synch up to that Monday to Sunday period after formerly encompassing each Wednesday to Tuesday.

The Hot 100 and all other "Hot"-monikered genre songs charts (for country, R&B/Hip-Hop, R&B, Rap, rock, dance, Latin, Christian and gospel) utilizing the Hot 100's sales/streaming/airplay hybrid formula will now incorporate the following tracking schedule for their components:

SALES: Friday to Thursday
STREAMS: Friday to Thursday
AIRPLAY: Monday to Sunday

Why is airplay on its own cycle apart from sales and streaming? Monitored radio data from Nielsen Music is readily available on a real-time basis, as opposed to sales and streaming data, which filters in from numerous data providers over multiple days. So, by incorporating the latest available airplay data, the Hot 100 will remain as up-to-date as possible each week.

I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time.

Ok, I knew that already I don't understand why the dates do not correspond with the actual weeks.
