Discounting is not cheating. People aren't just going to buy it because it is cheaper. "Wow, this song is honestly terrible, but it's $0.69 so why not!". It's for people who think "I like this song but I don't think I would spend $1.29 on it", $0.69 seems more attractive and not as much of a 'waste' of money (not that I consider it a waste, that is just the best way I can think of describing it). It may also be for people with gift cards, since they don't have to spend as much. However, it is not cheating. Just like how performing it on a big award show isnt cheating, either. Going out and buying 100,000 copies of it, yeah, cheating. Setting up computers to constantly stream it. Cheating. Discounting. Not cheating Cheating is having an unfair advantage. It is clearly an advantage, as it went from 13 to 2 Then what do you call the discount for the original version, a stupid mistake? |

Anyone can, it's not only for the elite. It's just smart marketing or whatever. It's not cheating |

1. What About Us 1.0000 2. Wild Thoughts $ 0.9771 C'mon Khaled! You can do it! EDIT: HE DID IT! It may be above What About Us, but actually Despacito is above both of them. Well that is if you combine both of each song's versions, which we all have been doing. |

Well I look from my phone usually and this is what it showed: m.imgur.com/a/D9IcqIt also says that the original version of Despacito was discounted and is #11. How do you even combine them anyway? |

Having a remix in and of itself is not cheating. Releasing a remix or multiple remixes at the last minute when a song is stuck at #2 on the chart in an obvious ploy to get it to #1 is questionable.
But that doesn't apply here.

Despacito = .7025 + .4260 = 1.1285
Wild Thoughts = 1 + .0685 = 1.0685
Yep, Despacito currently holds the advantage.

Not happening for Wild Thoughts. Whoever decided this was a good week to discount the original Despacito deserves a raise.
