February 24, 201312 yr Author Someone fact checked my "prediction" and the top 10 work out perfectly. Quoting MusicTalker on ATRL So, here's how points worked out. My scale is the same, I just multiplied everything by 12 so that download #s were the base. I prefer it that way. 1 Harlem Shake 262000 + 3000 + 2747000 = 3012000 2 Thrift Shop 412000 + 179000 + 269000 = 860000 3 Stay 306000 + 40000 + 104000 = 450000 4 Scream & Shout 158000 + 158000 + 128000 = 444000 5 I Knew You Were Trouble 149000 + 219000 + 75000 = 443000 6 Ho Hey 7 Locked Out of Heaven 8 When I Was Your Man 217000 + 88000 + 69000 = 374000 9 Suit & Tie 201000 + 117000 + 53000 = 371000 10 Started from the Bottom 168000 + 48000 + 147000 = 363000 Works perfectly! Will be fixing my thread soon. :wooparty: The new formula is Sales / 12 Airplay / 7500 Overall Streaming / 450 Which mean 1 sales = 625 radio airplay = 37.5 stream 200,000 sales = 125 million AI = 7,500,000 stream 300,000 sales = 187.5 million AI = 11,250,000 stream #10 in streaming last week was "I Knew You Were Trouble with 2.8 million. 2.8 million streams is the equivalent of 74,666 SALES or 46.7 million AI Edited February 24, 201312 yr by Dust2
February 25, 201312 yr i think radionand video sreams are overrated in the US, and this new rule means songs like Harlem Shake and Gangnam style would be number 1 for months... and that YouTube addition is ridiculous, everyone will start releasing viral/pornographic videos to get more views...

It's difficult to get pornographic videos on Youtube, but if Billboard start including other video streaming sites in the future I could see it happening. I think people over-estimate Gangnam Style. It was getting nowhere near the views that Harlem Shake is. It would've got #1 obviously, but I reckon it would've been at #1 less than the 9 weeks that One More Night was, as the radio airplay was still holding it back hugely. And Gangnam Style is one of the biggest hits in years, so months at #1 wouldn't be unjustified imo.
