Glow 0 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 TKO sounds like a good follow up to Mirrors IMO. Yeah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klou 2,414 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 YouTube is different. Artists actually earn money for views, which they don't with commercials or performances. Streams are equatable to sales in that way. And as someone mentioned earlier people choose to watch a video. I think it a great and fair addition. YouTube and music videos are very influential (oftentimes more than radio) in a song's success and deserve to be counted. That's the thing, though. They already affect a song's sales if people like the video/song, so why give them another huge boost with the views? Youtube views just have WAY too much power.

I agree the ratio should probably be adjusted, but I think if streaming is slashed radio should be too. DJs can play whatever they want, regardless if it's selling. The Give Your Heart a Break disaster comes to mind. In that way I think streaming is at least better than radio. It's usually more accurate in terms of public interest/iTunes position. I honestly wouldn't mind if Billboard adopted the UK approach and just based our charts off sales alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I also think the streaming ratio in the formula should be higher than radio's. Which would be a disadvantage for Applause rn though. "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio is a complete joke as well. Like Magoo has stated a few times, the Hot 100 in general has turned into a complete mess anyway. They won't release the official formula because they pick and choose song's Hot 100 positions from time to time. Digital Sales is the only valid chart.

Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 "the only reason we didnt get to number 1 on US itunes is bc the smilers and the monsters were buying and gifting the **** out of wrecking ball to cock block britney" Seriously? They were the ones who boycotted an artist and now they are accusing we also have done the same. Some of them are really Britarded. :oops: "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie-kun 1,765 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Stans really overestimate their influence and numbers. There's really no way stans can sabotage a song, there's just not enough of them that care that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Kunst 0 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I honestly wouldn't mind if Billboard adopted the UK approach and just based our charts off sales alone. What would the current charts look like if they did? (I know very little about how charts work so I dunno if that's a bad or unanswerable question).

Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 She's #9 on streaming and #18 on radio. im seeing it at #10 on streaming chart. We all know its radio support is more important rn. It will also help the song in the long run compared to its streaming. "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body."
