Kill me now.

If this is how people primarily consume music, I think it makes sense for it to increase its impact on charts.

Have they not seen those streaming farm things?

Streaming is the rule these days so this changes are unavoidable. I wish they could find a way to properly filter bots and streaming farms. Removing streams every month is cool but those are already counted in the charts.

That's really sad. A popular artist will be bound to debut at #1 just from people listening out of curiosity, even if the song is absolutely garbage and they won't listen twice.

I mean yeah streaming is how people consume music the most these days 

however they should finally stop giving radio so much weight, no one listens to radio anymore so they should stop with the bullshit

This is actually not terrible if this can lower how much radio counts. Radio is such a scam these days.

So more bots and payola and the extinction of indie artists
