Can they actually change important stuff like Radio impact? Radio should have Zero impact!

they should limit the number of songs of which streams count towards album sales like in the UK. next year Morgan Wallen will have 3 albums in the Top 10 and SZA album over 50 tracks

Brat and its 23 variants is really doing something :ororomunroe:

This. 
 

The variant problem and bots were definitely an issue, but this is also a pretty big one too.

Apparently some of this changes were quietly made effective since February 28, so yes, Mayhem was affected and we did not know

No more than 3 songs per album may chart at the same time.

they count only  16 most streamed songs but 2 with the most streamed are neutralised

The 2 album tracks attracting most streams are neutralised to the level of the average of the next 14 highest streamed tracks associated with the album (or all tracks where album has < 16 tracks).

I agree with everything except the price changes. 

That's incredibly anti-consumer and is an unneccessary inflationary act. Everything else either targets scams (like that rapper who had albums shipped to random houses just to make them count lol) or target anti-consumer activities by record labels that deliberately exploit fans. 

The only people who will benefit from the new minimum pricing (at a time when vinyls are already 50 to 100% more expensive at retail price than they were pre-COVID vinyl craze). It will only hurt consumers and indie acts.
