Billboard: Baauer's 'Harlem Shake' Debuts Atop Revamped Hot 100

baauer_650-430.jpg

The viral sensation soars in at No. 1, aided by the addition of YouTube streaming data to the chart's methodology. Rihanna and Drake, meanwhile, rocket to the top 10. The Billboard Hot 100 undergoes a major shakeup this week, as YouTube streaming data joins the chart's methodology. Fittingly, "Harlem Shake," the viral smash from Brooklyn producer Baauer, roars onto the ranking at No. 1.

"Shake" becomes just the 21st song (of 1,023 No. 1s dating to the chart's 1958 launch) to debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100. Even more notably, it's the first song to start at the summit by an artist essentially unknown prior to charting.

Beyond the flurry of activity atop the Hot 100, Rihanna adds her own headlines at No. 3, as "Stay," featuring Mikky Ekko, vaults with top Digital Gainer honors from No. 57 in its second week on the chart.

Here's the full article.

"Shake," in fact, leads the Hot 100 with three-and-a-half times the overall chart points total of "Shop."

What kind of ****ery?!?! :deadbanana:

Do they just decide to change the "methodology" whenever the **** they want? They clearly did this on purpose so that Harlem Shake would go to #1. They didn't want another Gangnam Style/One More Night dilemma. This is complete bull****.

Well now we know Gaga's lead single is for sure going #1 with everyone going crazy over the first video.

And now we know that she's not getting another #1 from ARTPOP after that because her video views pale in comparison to Katy and Rihanna.

Harlem Shake doesn't even have a proper video. Like seriously, they're really counting 103 million plays from random videos in its chart position? This has got to be the most idiotic move Billboard has ever made. And of course it just comes out of the blue now that HS has gone viral.

NEW Top 10 of the HOT 100 chart:

1. Harlem Shake - Baauer (DEBUT) :rofl:

2. Thrift Shop - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Wanz

3. Stay - Rihanna feat. Mikky Ekko (57-3) :clap:

4. Scream & Shout - will.i.am feat. Britney Spears

5. I Knew You Were Trouble - Taylor Swift

6. Ho Hey - The Lumineers

I fully expect Twitter activity to become part of the chart methodology within the next year.

1 point for every 100 tweets that the song title is mentioned. :zilla:
