Ad-supported streaming should weight way less.

Idk how to feel about this. Haven't really kept up with bb's changes but I thought that the previous rule change was what basically what stopped those streaming farms and kpop/bts stans from easily claiming the top spot and now they're... reverting it?

Also they might as well make radio have less weight. It's a scam and quite frankly Ga's biggest opp when it comes to charting.

Congratulations

Taylor Swift just achieved her 1739495064th no.1 on Billboard Hot 100

+ MAYHEM debut numbers would've looked slightly better with these changes.

This is a good thing. For reference, if this changes had started before Mayhem:

DWAS would've been No. 1 for 7 weeks instead of 5 (A Bar Song for 15 instead of 19) and Abracadabra would've peaked at 11.

Mayhem peaked at #1 regardless
