Damn, it seems close enough that a spike in any area would make the difference. Is the increase in youtube streams,enough? This sucks.
I knew the gap in Simon's predictions were too huge to be true. Blinding Lights is declining slowly in streams, about the same rate as Toosie Slide, so Toosie Slide still maintains a huge lead in that metric. Blinding Lights also has a huge lead on radio, but from the updates I saw today, it might be peaking there sooner than I thought and then there's pure sales. It has a sizeable lead there as well.
Even if it takes back the #1 spot this week, Toosie Slide will take it back next week because the gap in radio will be closer by next week Sunday and Toosie Slide has stabilized somewhat on streaming.
Either way, whoever takes it this week, it'll be very very close. It's actually way fun for me tracking the metrics this week, not knowing who it'll go to.
BL #1 next week?

Wow, I just realized what they're doing there. According to Billboard rules, in order for a bundle to count you have to offer the exact same item without the bundle for a cheaper price. But if you just click the link in that tweet none of the non-bundle items show up.
The link takes you to the New Arrivals page which only has bundled items. In order to see the exact same items without the bundle you have to go to the All page and all them are at the bottom of the page after the bundles. So unless you knew the Billboard rules and were specifically looking for them, you wouldn't find them.

How’d it do on Spotify today?
What about that Chart account on twitter having BL as #1 this week?
@chartdata? Huh
Talkofcharts.. they've been really accurate.
Oh didn’t see
Bundles might be giving it the edge


pretty much 1M people made they own version. Idk why there is 2 versions of toosie slide tho
Weeknd number 1 this week ?
More than likely. Drake doesn't care enough to bundle.
I think Drake is gonna edge it out this week. And this is the last week BL will really be a threat.
