Billboard Introducing New Rules For Hot 100 and 200 Charts



According to Chart Data, Billboard has introduced a new rule, effective immediately, where only 1 digital sale will be counted per customer per week for songs and albums. Bulk purchases of 2 or more will not count. Oh lawwwwd...LOL.


Now, for the girls whose fans know how to stream, this will not be a big deal, but for those STANbases, who have been saving money for 4 years so they can manipulate pure sales, they better start taking streaming classes.


No bundles, No bulk buying, Radio play still counts too much for chart placement...2022 will be tough for Hip Hop artists.

THOUGHTS ON THESE CHANGES?

Say Sumthin, Tap The Heart, and Share...Thanks.

It’s the Information Age now. I mean the way people listen to music has changed so of course the rules are going to change. It will only be so many times you can stream a track per day and per ip address.

Right.,I’m not bulk buying for no artist. I’ll buy the album or single In support. People saving money to bulk buy when they could use that same money to invest in themselves.

L O L they always want to change the rules when they see something they don’t like. this is another committee that needs to show more transparency. The “stanbase” who will take the biggest hit & this new rule is because of BTS ARMY. Billboard didn’t like how BTS kept dominating with pure sales point blank period. There is a loophole around this tho, every fan can still buy 1 digital song/album on different platforms. Ultimately tho we’re about to see a lot of artists releasing Vinyls alongside theirs albums & singles, cuz I believe they count as 4 sales. only thing is, they take about 6 months to make. So artists would have to finish their projects months i…

I was thinking the same when I read the headline. They did not like BTS taking over.
