DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Not really an opinion, more of a fact. So if you don't know, Billboard is changing its streaming rules tomorrow (and rightfully so). It'll now take into affect streams from paid vs. unpaid services. Paid will receive full points and unpaid will receive less. You can see the breakdown below: I looked into it and last year, of the Top 10 most viewed videos on Youtube in the US, 6 of them were rap songs! And this is just the top 10. Had the rules been applied last year these songs would've been lower on the Hot 100, because they would've only received 2/3 of the value. Youtube will do damage alone. ...and that's before we even get to SoundCloud and unpaid Spotify streams...but we'll save that for next week. Expect pop music to come back a little bit stronger in the coming weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNoAngel 186 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Finally. Because it’s not the likes of Kendrick, J Cole, etc.. who are dominating the charts. It’s the lil something something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas P 18,429 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Thank god. Ever since 2014, the charts have been riddled with garbage hip hop (the good stuff doesn’t last as long), and I’ve quite frankly had it. I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.

StarstruckIllusion 48,149 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Wow, makes a lot of sense tbh. It’s why drama creators (Paul Bros., RiceGum) all make rap songs. They’re not dumb at marketing. Oh god, this is gonna get reverted huh? That community will snap, and rappers are def. the type to tweet about this. Hey mods, can we take this down like that other ASIB thread about that one producer pls Weird how pop fans consume Youtube less. Wonder why....
