PlasticHo 705 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Had no clue what this fox stuff was and I just looked it up. That is the dumbest thing i've ever heard in my life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klou 2,414 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Billlboard HAS to lower its streaming rules to avoid another 5 week (G0dga forbid, more than 5 week) reign of a completely meaningless song. How about they just do the right thing by removing YouTube views from the equation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justalovegame 0 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 How about they just do the right thing by removing YouTube views from the equation? oh hell no. It's gaga's only way to get a #1 this era probably. (Video releases) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstreak 6,653 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Work Bitch might actually be out of top ten in about 6 hours. I want Applause to at least climb back over the .5 barrier one more time. Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 If The Fox can get sales as well as streaming, it deserves to chart high. It's gonna sell better than that Harlem Shake mess. This is familiar on UK sales only chart, where Bob the Builder once blocked Eminem's Stan from Xmas #1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyTPFyyA-mA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie-kun 1,765 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I can't even be pressed about The Fox. It was not written to be a good song, it was written to be bad in a funny way. It was literally someone trying to write a meme song. I'm going to be having a laugh at the clueless American media over the next few months though, you know they're going to build this guy up as the next big pop star just like they did with PSY.

Redstreak 6,653 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Ok I'm going to go off on another rant... 22 Ylvis - The Fox Alright, I get that the song is just for fun and all, but why would people buy it? Just watch the video, laugh a bit and move on. I just can't imagine seeing that on someone's music library and not being able to hold myself from questioning their mental stability. Like it would actually be a tolerable song if he didn't have the random screaming noises in the chorus. If it actually had something somewhat logical while still retaining whatever comedic factor I assume it's trying to have, I could forgive the verses. Unfortunately I feel the wappa pows are it's draw in factor. I read the comments on it's youtube video where people act like it's the weirdest thing they've ever seen and I'm just like you must not get out much.

Klou 2,414 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 oh hell no. It's gaga's only way to get a #1 this era probably. (Video releases)That's just for selfish reasons. People aren't paying to watch the video and half the time people are watching these videos because their curious, not because they like the song. And these are videos... It's a visual experience. It's not purely audio like when you're listening to the song in Spotify or on the radio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toph 375 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 It's literally gangnam style switched up a bit. Besides the lyrics I don't mind the verses in the fox. But the chorus...:rip: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie-kun 1,765 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I think the streaming rules are okay, but they have to change the duration thing. That's a major loophole and it certainly doesn't help that a song was already exploiting it the first week the streaming rules went into effect. And it's not like artists haven't been trying to exploit it either. Ke$ha got pretty desperate with Crazy Kids and tried to create a meme out of it to boost her chart position, even going so far as to make it 30 seconds long http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaRkks5__kk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick4bty 2,758 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Sadly, this is a song I can see radio picking up too. This could potentially reach the heights Gangnam Style was never able to reach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
