Kygo last album charted in the bb200 with 37 copies meanwhile madonna RHT dvd didn't chart for low streaming but sell 3k copies

Yea, but those are literally "who?" and "what album?" scenarios. 

I was excited for the RHT CD, but I only came across it on Apple Music by accident one day. There was no warning for it's release. Nor was it even showcased well on iTunes/AM.

I'm talking about if well promoted artists started selling much poorly.

I miss the old days when music was all about pushing the direction and making art, not who made the most. And why give Spotify so much power when the artist make so little out of it?

Because it's a measure of how music is being consumed, not how much money artists are making. Charts aren't supposed to measure how much the artist is making, at least for BBH100 and BB200 and other charts measuring music popularity.

important point 

Streaming on the Hot 100 (and all all-format genre charts) will be more complexly calculated come 2018

Paid streaming (including "premium"/"paid" tiers on hybrid paid/ad-supporting services like Spotify) will be weighed more on the Hot 100 than ad-supported streaming (including "free" tiers on hybrid paid/ad-supporting services)

This means streams on Spotify Premium will carry more Hot 100 influence than Spotify Free streams as i said

This move will also affect the Billboard 200 obviously

However, the Billboard 200 will continue to NOT use YouTube streams and any other video streams (poor miss katherine )

@Doot @sillynate

Why poor miss Katherine Youtube was never used for the Billboard 200 as it's written  

[OBEY 57,109]

I think it's good.

so it will be something like

paid-streams > radio audience = bought music > free-streams > youtube views

I know and I didn’t mean that they should measure chart position depending on how much the artists are making.

I just meant that I don’t really get why they focus so heavily on streaming. Of course the majority who listens use a streaming platform but by doing so. More artists will struggle since album and single sales tells a lot. And the creativity of the artist will suffer from that since streaming has a very specific sound. So in the end, everything will just sound the same. A la Chainsmokers and songs without meaning.

Thank god we have Gaga

Fair point you make. I agree to a certain extent but I also think streaming really has to be included as well since it's the major way music is consumed nowadays. But, maybe they could create separate charts, like one for traditional sales, and one for streaming, rather than combining them all into one as is the case now. Then again, sales are dead nowadays so such a chart focused only on that could be very misleading and quite irrelevant all things considered.

Thank god they are not gonna count YouTube streams for album sales.

Interesting and needed... people better start paying for their music
