Flopboard hot flophundred should have stopped radio counting for charts like 10 years ago. I swear it's one of the only charts that includes it alongside sales and streams. Other countries may count radio, but that's because they're RADIO charts, and then they have their single/streaming/digital charts

 

Actually makes me laugh to see a song that for instance, has sold 250k units in a given week, not be above a song that has sold 150k but has higher radio. More people are voluntarily choosing to listen to the HIGHER SELLING song, so it should be above

radio mattering at all is insane in 2025, it only gets worse the longer they keep the formula like this.

Actually,  abracadabra did relatively well just because of radio, the US streams were abysmal after some weeks, radio was the only way to reach 20 weeks on the hot 100.

So yeah, radio was good for us for once.

The melody that you choose can rescue you

well, radio has been carrying DWAS and helping it stay inside top 10, so let's ignore this FOR NOW. :vegas:

I hope everything bad happens to Billboard at this point...what a farce of a chart honestly.

45 YEARS IN ALCATRAZ AND DEATH ROW BY ELECTRIC CHAIR NEXT! :vegas:

The Billboard charts are so broken!

Radio shouldn't have so much impact and non-singles shouldn't be allowed on charts.
