That weight hasn't been properly reflected on Billboard's charts and now they're making that adjustment.

What makes you say that? Streaming being the main way people consume music is already reflected on the charts imo. Look at any ToTC prediction, streams are always ~85%+ of points aside from top radio hits. And it's not like they ever reduced the weight of streams this decade.

You referenced songs averaging 75M weekly streams 6 years ago, that was during the UGC era, no?

Been calling YouTube vs everyone else for the future of the music industry but I did not see this coming. Ramifications otw

I think this is all gonna lead to music videos returning to power

How they have fallen

Headlines might be the GOAT drake song. If someone was to tell me to give them a song from Drake to describe him as an artist, this what I'd give, the perfect blend between melody and bars

Streaming only accounts for nearly that much of a song's total points in its debut week. And you just pointed out the issue: the top hits would eventually start to pull very mediocre streaming numbers but because of how powerful radio still is in Billboard's chart formula, once they'd amassed enough radio points, they'd be able to stick in the top 10/top 20 virtually forever.

That's also why Billboard recently changed their recurrence rules. This is all a push to make their charts feel more fresh and current and to limit the ability of songs to remain on the charts for 60+ weeks simply because they've amassed a lot of radio points and pop/alternative radio doesn't wanna stop playing them.

I have no issue with the latest changes they've made. Songs spending 2+ years straight years charting on the Hot 100 defeats its purpose. The Hot 100 is supposed to capture a snapshot of the most popular songs in the US for a brief period of time (~ 6 months tops), after which, newer songs should start popping up.

It really is. Captures the essence of Drake's unique melodic rapping style, is a fan favorite, was produced by 40/Boi-1da — the two OG Drake producers. It's just a very special song till this day.

I have it as my #1 solo Drake song of all time.

Chat is this real

It was posted on here but no explanation so idk

Fewer and fewer music videos as time passes because of this:

I’m in for this. Hope billboard goes the same route as NY times best seller list which doesn’t mean s*** now

S*** was meant to honor and celebrate accomplishment as a side product of a project to being the main driving force and goal for some artists. F*** em.

I thought streams were broke lol whole time you just gotta make music people wanna hear

Meanwhile…

You know Drake wants that Pooh Shiesty feature badly rn

UncGramps talking about his favorite artist every single day on KTT

Yes I’m a huge Drake fan been tapped in since comeback season, why is that so hard for yall to understand

Exactly, I been listening to Drake since the Comeback Season and Room For Improvement era. I'm still gonna point out when his music ain't hitting or when he's being a s***ty person.

Being a fan doesn't mean being a d***rider.

I do understand that

Did you not read my post

Reading is hard these days

That song went platinum in my earbuds back then

Thanks Linda McMahon
