LG10 14,249 Posted October 20, 2025 Share Posted October 20, 2025 Ew. This means they need more payola to stay chart relevant. Cant wait to see BB's decline as an "industry standard" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
melon 3,671 Posted October 20, 2025 Share Posted October 20, 2025 hmm not too bad I guess, but they definitely should introduce a new rule to counteract album variants - sales only count from the 2 highest selling versions? show me to me please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louvre 4,551 Posted October 20, 2025 Share Posted October 20, 2025 Thank god. It was about time. This is going to change things for Christmas songs. That will be interesting. Thank you billboard. Happy DWAS got to 60 weeks. Its a shame that songs will kicked out of the top 50 after 26 weeks, dont love that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This update was much needed. In the last 5 years songs have been spending 50+ weeks on the hot 100 way more often than ever before in the chart's history. there are way too many songs that have been on the chart for so many weeks on the hot 100 rn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor will still easily reach #1 because she can earn 500k+ from streaming alone. ⋆‧°𓏲ּ𝄢°❀⋆ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 15,788 Posted October 20, 2025 Share Posted October 20, 2025 Totally pointless rule that means what ends up on the charts isn't actually what's popular but what the chart filters according to relevancy. If a song sticks around, it's because people like it, hence, it should remain on the chart. It's high time they put out rules that targeted multiple variants bought by one customer and every track on an album charting. Taylor and her 10+ variants bought over and over by crazed fans and 24-track hip hop albums clogging up the charts knocking down songs which have been slowly building are 2 massive issues which should've been dealt with years ago. Ed released one album in the UK that caused him to dominate the entire UK top 30 and after that, only the 3 most popular songs from an album could chart (including singles). One instance and we changed the rules. How many times of cheating the system will it take for the US to catch up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy232000 13,288 Posted October 20, 2025 Share Posted October 20, 2025 Billboard admits in their article about these changes that it was done to “alíviate congestion” caused by Lose Control, Die With A Smile and Beautiful Things. The fact they openly revealed they created this JUST to get rid of those songs shows how unprofessional and MEANINGLESS the hot 100 has become. It’s not even about the music anymore it’s about politics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
