The Billboard 200/HOT 100 Thread: Jason Mraz Will Shank His Way to the Top

[HoneyDarling]

The Hot 100 has included Spotify data for months. That's what killed Bieber's chances for #1 with Boyfriend. It sold over 500K in its opening week and everyone was sure it would be #1 but fun. had points from the On Demand Songs chart, which includes streaming from services like Spotify. Bieber wasn't on Spotify, he peaked at #2 and Scooter Braun and the Bielebers were pissed. Good times!

It also killed Swift with "Trouble" she had the edge but Bruno with "Locked" beat her to it with the Spotify points.

In this millennium, it's the first song to have multiple weeks on top of both the sales & radio charts, yet not get #1 overall.
Also as of this week: In the Soundscan era (91+), the first white artist to make multiple albums that spawned a multi-week solo #1 radio hit: Taylor Swift.
Trouble is also the first and so far only digital single that sold 300k for 3 weeks.

To those of you looking to go crazy with streaming for a certain song, if 40 streams is worth a download, since there are about 10000 minutes a week, if you had your computer non-stop running Youtube (keeping it wasting electricity going through the wee night during your sleep), refreshing a Youtube video once a minute, your views would be the equivalent of 250 downloads. Which certainly sounds good, but aside from the insanity and wastefulness, it wouldn’t make a huge difference when Thrift Shop has 10 mil views a week (1 thousand times your views), or Harlem Shake has 100 mil views a week (10 thousand times your views).

If you decided to be more rational and just played a song nonstop for an hour (but only a minute each time before refreshing), that would be the equivalent of 1.5 downloads. I think most people are more like me – even if I like a song a lot, I’m unlikely to actually listen to it even 40 times a week. When I see it from this perspective, it seems more reasonable. Let’s say Harlem didn’t exist. Then the #1 streamer would get around 230 points from that, and the #1 radio song would be getting 130-ish points from that. That seems sane.

So if Largo were to "sorely tempted to replay something reeeeaaally weird for like, four days on end, and see what happens," what would happen would be the equivalent of a hundred something downloads. Not a big chart changer.
