I don't have an article or anything, but last week it tied that record and the top 10 revealing livestream that is currently happening on Billboard's Facebook said Shape Of You is #9 this week, for those of you with FB check it for yourselves if you don't believe me

i hate how people complain about the streaming rules all the time. just because ur fav isn't in the bb100 anymore doesn't mean they shouldn't count streaming, because it is the leading music consumption service nowadays. i hate the charting music but its stupid to blame billboard for peoples awful tastes

chaeri pls

There should be a new rule to avoid these big ass streaming forces to get hits all the damn time, it's annoying.

No one is saying streaming shouldn't count, people are complaining about how it is weighted against hard sales (a unit sale that the owner can listen to over and over). Looking at chart trends over the last ten years streaming has led to more stagnant chart placement and longevity. 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. The weight of streaming for Billboard charts makes success on such charts a less opportune possibility for new or up-and-coming artists.
