So will this next chart be released July 13 or 20?

[Deleted]

Wait so is the tracking week for the 7/18 chart or part of it being counted again for this week?

[Dylan :)]

This is the first chart week since mid May 2014 that Ariana has not had a song on the Hot 100 :'(

[85la]

My mind has been exploding trying to figure out what period this tracking week will cover, what the chart date will be, grappling with the usual Billboard typos, etc. I almost wanna give up.

[The Upper Hand]

Billboard:

(The final charts utilizing sales data from a Monday to Sunday cycle (June 29 through July 5) will post on Billboard.com on Thursday, July 9, and will be dated July 18. To account for sales in the in-between days during the transition week to a Friday to Thursday schedule, Nielsen Music will process data incorporating an 11-day cycle [Monday, June 29, through Thursday, July 9]. That 11-day period will inform the Billboard charts that will post on Billboard.com on Tuesday, July 14, and be dated July 25. The pure sales data from the 11-day stretch will be the only data stored historically when accounting for all-time sales according to Nielsen Music; thus, there will be no double-counting, per se, of sales in Nielsen Music's tracking system for this period in its archived database.)

No wonder she hates America. :) She was blessed with great material this era - will be interesting to see what she does next.

Does that include streaming or no? Is streaming still July 6 through 12 this week or is it also June 29 through July 9?

[Enigma.]

I just follow this forum, something will be revealed some day lol

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

I forget. Will the Hot 100 still come out in Wednesdays? It's only the album chart day that changed?

[HolidayGuy]

All charts will be released the same, as the sales tracking period will be Friday-Thursday, for albums and tracks. Streaming will also be Fri-Thurs. All airplay, as far as I know- spins-based and audience-based, alike- will be on a Monday-Sunday tracking period now.

[areyoureadytojump]

All the new charts will come on Tuesdays from now on.

Wonder if there will be any radio backlash for her idiot comments.

[lyhom]

lol it will probably blow over in about a week

[Gary]

The public has short term memory for most celebrity blunders

[Deleted]

So this week's chart will essentially be the same as last week's chart...are you f**king kidding me?   Couldn't they at least not count the four four days of last week? What's the point of the 7/25 chart even?

True. Plus she mostly recanted. But her licking the donuts even tho totally wrong was kinda funny.

I just hate when celebrities / singers say they hate America while they live here and make millions off of us. It makes no sense and just means they haven't thought it through well. But she's a youngen and I'm old.

Gary - do you still have a subscription to the magazine?
I presume the release date will remain the same...
meaning the charts will be all the more out-dated by the time of publication...
One more nail in the coffin.

The article for last week's chart said the charts will be out on Tuesdays now, with the articles out on Mondays. So no the release date will not be the same

Well, we've been getting the articles on Weds and the charts online on Thurs, but the issue/release dates have always been Sats (7/4, 7/11, 7/18, 7/25.) So the dates we get the article + charts online don't tell us much about the issue/publication/release dates.

This was the original quote from Billboard that I remember seeing and understood, so I need to just stick to this, print it out and frame it on my wall or something. Thanks!!

I'm thinking 7/18 is it for See You Again. I ran the numbers using our current estimated formula, and it was indeed close - somewhere around just a 1000-point difference. With Cheerleader continuing to gain, that should be able to move atop unless either SYA can stop the bleeding for a few days, or Cheerleader slows down. I can't say I'm optimistic that SYA will eke it out yet again.

ETA:

SYA - 81000 sales, 152M airplay, 14.8M streams.
6750 + 15200 + 16444 = 38394

Cheerleader - 170000 sales, 94M airplay, 12.6M streams.
14167 + 9400 + 14000 = 37567


So, a little over 800 points. I can see the sales gap shrinking some, but Cheerleader will continue to gain on airplay, and probably also streams. So unless something crazy happens*, I'm thinking we'll be looking at a new #1 for this chart.

*Feel free to speculate on if Watch Me were to pass them both and take it instead; that came up to just over 35000 points. But considering that's gone the wrong way in sales this week, I don't think it'll pass by just yet - not unless it sees a crazy stream surge.

I think SYA's update is wrong. The gain is the same amount as its lost yesterday. I'll ask the one who posted this. What do you think, shane?

[RainMan94]

Does the new tracking period mean we will get the usual Monday chart highlights on Saturday since everything is getting pushed back two days?

[dajross6]

Airplay charts remain the same I believe.

It shouldn't.  The radio tracking week is staying the same (Monday-Sunday), so the highlights article will presumably be coming on the same day.

The other possibility is that they eliminate it, since we'll now get the full radio charts the very next day.

[Daniel Collins]

Wait, the radio tracking before this shift was Wednesday to Tuesday.

The radio songs component of the Hot 100 (total "all-format" audience impressions) was Wednesday to Tuesday.

The airplay charts (Pop Songs, Adult Pop Songs, Rhythmic Songs, etc) were Monday-Sunday.
