Friday Chart Predictions
I could be wrong with the following, but I don't think there should be an issue when there's only a single version of the track available to purchase on iTunes. Actually, when there's a mass buying of a single version of a track, people will focus on that song, so it will skyrocket on iTunes. I mean, the only problem will be that there are less opportunities to count multiple versions as you mentioned, but this may sorted out because people will see that the main song is in a good spot, so this will be covered up.

Training Season • Second Single
The live from the Royal Albert Hall version received 1.17m unfiltered streams (-46.7k) on the Spotify Counter yesterday, while the original version received 2.44m unfiltered streams (-132.1k), so the total between the two was 3.62m unfiltered streams. The rest of the three tracks from the EP received 30.4k, so the EP had 3.65m unfiltered streams (-180.7k) on the Spotify Counter. If all of the versions are combined (even, the original and the live from the RAH versions only), this would be around the #4 spot on Spotify Global, behind "BbY WOW" by KAROL G, Judeline & rusowsky, "Patient Zero" by Taylor Swift and "Nicole Kidman" by ADÉLA.

Britney • 25th Anniversary Re-Release
On the bright side, I think that the AI allegations can be debunked now if it's taken into consideration that there's a B&W original and unseen picture from the Steve Klein photoshoot back in 2001. Even, there are too many precise details on it, like the piercing, the cross, the tattoo and the ring.

Miley Cyrus - Bass Persuades
Yeah, it was indeed for "Different Religion", which could be watched here. No, not really. The 1k gap difference was given by HITS, which is a music industry trade magazine, similarly to Billboard. However, HITS doesn't provide the final charts and they only give projected and estimated sales based on their own resources, as well as Nora Music, which is also an alternate in terms of estimations and sales in the US. Either way, Billboard works closely with Luminate, which is in charge to report the sales to them, so this is the reason why there's another and official sales report. It should be considered that Billboard doesn't give the exact numbers and they tend to round the numbers to the integers, so there are independent social media accounts, like Chart Data or Talk of the Charts, which give more insight about this.

Britney • 25th Anniversary Re-Release
I hope I'm not the only one, but I'm so used to with the original cover that I don't like the new one. I'm glad that it fits the aesthetic though. Either way, the fact that they're saying "more surprises are coming every week until then" makes me think that they could possibly drop a new track each Friday, but this is something I guess will be something unusual from them.

Training Season • Second Single
I guess it was a combination of different factors too, including the timing of the resurgence, the death of Dolly Parton and the release of new songs as well, which made to push it back week after week. However, independently of that, I agree that Billboard recurrent rules are a little bit messy and complicated sometimes.

Daily US Radio Airplay Updates 2026
Pop Add Recap (September 29): As expected, "Patient Zero" by Taylor Swift cleared the Pop radio panel this week, getting 175 adds out of the gate. "Joy." by RAYE, Amma and Absolutely got 37 adds, as well as "new trick" by ROSÉ. Although there was a given impact date for the former slated for last week, it seems that it was pushed back to this week, although this hasn't been confirmed as of yet. There's not any mention of this in the latest Your Radio Add Recaps article from HITS though. "Great Expectation" by SIENNA SPIRO got 30 adds and "Stop the Wedding!" by Ashe got 29 adds this week, respectively. The latter is deemed as 'early adds' in the aforementioned HITS article. Regarding SIENNA SPIRO, it's still unknown whether this went for adds or not, but there's at least confirmation that Capitol is moving with this single in the US per this article from HITS. Also, "source of life" by Tove Lo got 16 adds this week, nine more than last week.
