In the end it wont represent true song consumption if they alter the top songs like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotoriousEden 115 Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago I don’t get why streams aren’t based on minutes of listening. I’m actually so surprised this hasn’t been enacted anywhere. a 5 min song shouldn’t count the same as a 1 min song. They should be based on :15-30 sec intervals. This would stop the stupid trick of shortening every song Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty like sodium 1,138 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago 20 hours ago, Teletubby said: there will be more plastic. Only 4 "digital exclusive versions" will be allowed for the life of an album — she will now have 1328542 versions of CD Expand then they will limit the amount of physical cd variants. every time she has tried to cheat the system they caught on and came for her. it started with the merch bundles. then the digital variants... she needs to stop being so greedy basically.
