Yeah and it's undeniable that there is a LOT of payola happening behind the scenes. This is why charts truly don't mean anything nowadays.

[FFXIV WhiteMage 6,309]

Streaming payola?

What’s the difference with Radio payola?

Billboars recalibrate their formula. 

[TheOriginalOne 11,596]

How do we start streaming payola and fraud for Gaga?
