Err, two weeks is a bit too soon to draw any conclusions on how a reformulation affects a chart. The Hot 100 has had loads of slow weeks...

 

but two weeks ago sales accounted for more than 70% of the BB Hot 100 which meant that a new entry at number 1 on the Digital Songs Chart would definitly lead to a new entry in the top 5 ( sometimes number 1) in the BB Hot 100, while now it's really harder since new songs have usually low airplay, which means that even a top 10 now isn't guaranteed for the number 1 selling song in the country!!!!

 

i mean why can't they just make a chart completely based on sales just like the rest of the world???? :angry:

isn't sales what actually reflects the taste of the buying public????

if people don't like a song enough to spend 1.29$ to buy it, then why on hell should it chart???? :blink:

Because a lot of people don't buy music anymore, duh? It's not as much of an indicator of popularity as it used to be with streaming services such as Spotify around now...

I'm feeling like a parrot but they do have a sales chart.

 

Hot 100 has always been different to sales chart. Its aim is to really reflect the popularity of songs hence the constant rule changes too.
