One step forward, two steps back

they made the change to stop KTT user mitch from hitting #1

1.1 billion streams !!

Youngboy in shambles

YB bout to do 7k first week

This cant be why that Nicki and 69 song lost 3x since its not in effect yet right?

Interesting, this is gonna kill music videos even more, maybe thats why spotify added them

bit interesting how Billboard actually starts giving more weight to free streams with yesterday's announcement but YouTube still thinks this is not enough there gotta be some serious behind the scenes stuff behind this

Youtube probably wants to be bigger than billboard, not contribute to it

they got a competitor?

youtube mad they streams/views dont count equally lmao

RIP visualizers and lyric videos

Yeah that’s unrelated since this doesn’t come into effect until January

Billboard? Dont think so, I'm not super educated on charts and s*** tho

What? YouTube and Billboard are not in the same stratosphere of business

"My album went #2 on youtube" dont got that same ring to it

Just get rid of billboard altogether. Music would 100x better if there weren’t any spots to chase for popularity

but then how would forum users start arguments?

they probably want it like riaa where its a flat rate and dont make youtube "less than"

But youtube didnt even count for B200 till a few years ago

Yeah right now, I'm looking into the future

Same way Netflix just bought WB, I can see Youtube taking over in a similar fashion

People would've laughed at you for saying Netflix would be this big when they were sending out DVDs

no I didn't

rolling stone tried but it will be hard to replace billboard.

why you photoshopping my posts

They not wrong every stream should be counted equally

Billboard is basically saying poor people streams don’t count the same
