The streams will probably be from non-VEVO Youtube videos (because you're right that Apple Music, TIDAL, etc. count for the On-Demand chart). Songs like Watch Me, UOENO, Not N*gga got loads of streams from non-VEVO Youtube videos too, so it's not the first time.

yeah, but if that the case, the non-VEVO Youtube is higher than the VEVO despite the music video came from VEVO.
14,5 million streams is HUGE compared to 13,9 million from VEVO on its 1st week release.

Yes, but that was the case with Watch Me and Hot N*gga as well, they were clearly getting most of their streams from videos that weren't their official ones, so I think it's plausible that it could happen for Work too. Work has bucketloads of remixes, covers, dance videos, etc, and it got a huge amount of streams on Youtube even the week before the video came out (it had almost double the Youtube streams of the #2 song without a video). Also the video was age restricted for some of the week. So I don't find this too strange personally.

This was how well Work was doing on Youtube before the video came out, so I think it makes sense that it would continue to get lots of non-official music video streams afterwards too:


POS Title Artist Building
1 Work Rihanna 1.945
2 Sorry Justin Bieber 1.000
3 Love Yourself Justin Bieber 0.856
4 Hello Adele 0.832
5 PILLOWTALK Zayn Malik 0.790
6 Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae) Silento 0.722
7 Stressed Out twenty one pilots 0.713
8 Me, Myself & I G-Eazy 0.618
9 Don't Bryson Tiller 0.585
10 Down in the Dm Yo Gotti 0.568

Oui +17 to #28, 2 Phones +11 to #29, Back to Sleep +14 to #36 and Exchange +6 to #37.

Is it possible to know the formula now?

I hope See You Again can last one more week. Hard to believe it has already been a year! Looks like Lean On is facing the same problem as Chandelier, hanging around #20-#45 only to fall off a few weeks before a year

Well, looks like WWWY is joining the long list of songs lately to fizzle out right before reaching the top 10. What a shame.

I'm not sure Stitches is gonna be able to beat the 52 weeks above 25 anymore. Lately its been freefalling down the top 20.

Look at my Dab enters this week lol.

Surprised it didn't bring back Lean and Dab with it.

Seriously, I'm glad to see Sugar now in the top 50, 7 Years in the top 15, My Church, Never Forget You, Youth, and Nobody to Blame on the rise, and the debut of an actual rock song in the Hot 100 (Sound of Silence).  The bottom half of the chart is getting better even if I have to put up with the return of OT Genesis and the decline of Make Me Like You.
