2 points difference based off the revised Billboard figures

 

All Billboard says is The announcement of this week's Hot 100 was delayed by approximately 48 hours while Billboard and MRC Data conducted standard audits on reported data, working with data partners to recognize and resolve anomalies.

 

A standard audit takes 48 hours? Are you joking?

 

Billboard will not get away this riggery! Dua Mafia is coming for them!

Yeah I kinda expected LTDO to take it on the basis of airplay. Levitating has already peaked/gone recurrent on most if not all of its formats, while LTDO is still current in all of its formats.

Levitating was way ahead in the final predictions regardless until these shenanigans

Airplay really really needs to just not be a thing measuring success. If it happened in the UK Jess Glynne and Rag N Bone Man would be #1 or something 🥴

#2 is still FAB! No wonder payola pays a huge part of the US Chart! Including radio airplay is so easy to manipulate.

find it bizarre that BB had an issue with 4K Dua sales

but for them the BTS Army mass-buying 100K download every week for months, that's normal and not an issue

 

it's also the fault of those super zealous Dua fans posting things like go download Dua 4 times, use a fake VPN etc that's what alerted BB, if they had been smarter and kept quiet nothing would have happened...

#2 is still a great achievement! Well done Dua.

Billboard still haven't properly explained what's happened or formally announced a rule change but as TOTC says Dua would have been #1 even with the 4k sales removed. It's the changing of airplay weight that rigged her out of #1.

 

I'm also seeing people say that Rolling Stone reported Dua sold 30k then that was filtered down to 24k by Nielsen SoundScan then filtered down again to 19k by Billboard. Anyone know if this is true?

That seems like an awful lot of sales to be filtering out 🧐

A re-peak at Hot AC radio! And great call-out scores! To think how bad call-outs were for this at the start, now people love this song. Hopefully this bodes well for radio in coming weeks.

Elsewhere in the Hot 100's top 10, Dua Lipa's "Levitating," featuring DaBaby, dips to No. 3 from its No. 2 high and

 

"Leave the Door Open" by Silk Sonic, the duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, falls to No. 4 a week after adding its second week at No. 1. The latter logs a sixth week atop Radio Songs (89.9 million, up 3%), while ruling Hot R&B Songs for a ninth week.

 

This is so annoying...nothing can convince me that Levitating wasn't the most popular song last week as well!!!

I've lost a lot of respect for the Hot 100 after this. If they can chop and change airplay weight as they please how can it be considered a reliable chart?

 

Wasn't airplay weight decreased last year during the release of Break My Heart? If this didn't happened I'm sure it would have gone top 10
