Gaga got a #8 position because of the views of a live performance not just a parody where the singer is not even appeared!

 

Yeh I know but she got loads of hate for it and it was called a scam by allot of people. I don't think this is fair either but at least it shows that it's billboards kooky rules that decide this stuff not payola scams.

Billboard just published that this is the first time Christina got a top 10 by being a LEAD singer since 2008. It is not A Great World featuring Christina Aguilera, it is :

 

A Great World & Christina Aguilera - Say Something.

 

#staypressed

Congrats, she's credited as a lead but still she can't produce a hit by herself. Fall back.

The video went viral because of the song,  The video got 65-70M views because of the song, and having that many views means the song was the most popular for that week ...  Youtube Is one of the best things for measuring popularity, I can't understand why some people don't like that rule ... I mean everyone uses youtube .. It's definitely a better way to measure popularity than Radio, since DJs control what's being played and that doesn't necessarily mean that people like the songs either ...

 

Um nah, that guy has had a few viral video's, Even A couple of gaga ones. It went viral because of what it was it could be any other popular pop song. 

 

and the charts used to be about sales but then I don't really care that much about this.

:wtf:

 

If it wasnt for Xtina the song would never be a hit!

 

Christina heard the song on "Dancing with the stars" (it was played during a dance). She called them and said she would like to be a part of it.

 

Called them to The Voice to perform it for the first time, called them to the AMAs.

When the charts were only about sales and radio the only way you could have access to a song was by buying it or listening on radio. Today this dead and burried. The charts must follow the changes and today streaming is a main factor on listening a song.

Hot 100 Is a popularity chart.  Not liking something doesn't mean It's not popular...

If A video gets 100M VIews In 1 week and has 10k likes and 500k Dislikes, doesn't mean It was not the most popular video / song In that week ...  Some of you really don't get the meaning of the Hot 100 chart.. It's not "Best songs" It's  "Most popular songs on radio, sales, streaming and On - Demand"  Just because Streaming Is bigger Indicator of popularity than sales and radio doesn't mean It's unfair ...  Streaming Is growing with every day .. A few years ago Digital Sales >>> Streaming, now Streaming>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Digital sales, by far... especially In Europe

xauhhuxa yea sure, then why Isn't Born This Way 70M views like Wreckin Ball ?  You realize that 10M views won't push a song to top 10,  and If Wrecking Ball Is number 1 on hot 100 then It has a good reason for that ... I watched the video when It was just posted and It already had 300k views, and the next morning I went to class and my classmates were watching the same video and It was already at 7M views just In 1 ****ing night ...

Oh I agree but I can see why some people find this unfair is all....

 

As I said in my comment he's made several of these vids and a few have gone viral but it's not the artists popularity that caused that to happen, it was his. Ofc if he had just parodied some indie artist it wouldn't have gone viral but many watching it will most likely not care about Cyrus much. 

 

But as I said it's not a big deal it's just a pretty loose rule obviously.
