This is so frustrating

[jarhys]

Love Yourself surpasses Sorry's peak!
Will Stressed Out be the next no.1 Pop song? How many songs that topped both Pop and Rock song charts?

[Enigma.]

Facebook starts playing the videos if they just appear on the feed. Just saying that it might have 59m "views" but a ) lots of them are from outside the US and b ) are probably just people scrolling their feed.

ANyway, my point is that people/organizations uploading videos on Facebook are very rarely artists because they spread them via Youtube.

I think STIUTK and We Are Young did it in 2012. Also Demons and Royals in 2013. Don't know any others though.

[Zach]

Pretty shocked at how smooth Love Yourself is still going on radio. Thought its growth would have slowed down big time by now.

I saw it on my facebook feed, and it came through as a link to a youtube video, not one of those videos that autoplays with no sound until you click it. So if it's a youtube video, it should count, right?

Yes, with a YouTube embed it should still count, I think.

But a song that's successful on Youtube is likely to be successful on Facebook too. Because if the song is linked on Facebook it's usually from Youtube? Is there something different in this case? I don't see why the views wouldn't be counted if the song's on Youtube?

EDIT: in this case seems that the video on Facebook is very successful but I don't really see why Facebook should be added to Hot 100 formula when very rarely a song is the thing to get the attention. Soundcloud is much more important to be added imo because it's all about music.

Watching linked Youtube videos count (because those view counts go back to the video on Youtube - this is no different from say, watching an embedded video here on Pulse). The issue here is when people upload videos directly to Facebook.

Part of Billboard's criteria is that you have to be willing to report your numbers to them. Youtube, Vevo, and Spotify do; Apple (for videos), Tidal, and Facebook do not. To this extent, it's really out of Billboard's hands. If you do report your numbers, you also have to be willing to categorize and sort through your stuff to separate US streams from non-US streams, and music from non-music. This requires extra work that Facebook may not feel like assigning to its staff or to hire staff to do. The autoplay=view count thing may also be a sticking point, something that Billboard doesn't want to count but that Facebook doesn't want to change or take the time to separate autoplayed views from 'active' views.

I wouldn't say that it's "rare" for a song to get attention via Facebook. Less than a year ago, SYA was in a similar situation when the video being uploaded to Facebook first. It's just that usually people who are promoting music do eventually move promotion to 'normal' music outlets - Youtube/Vevo, radio, Spotify, etc. so whatever view counts are lost via Facebook are made up for elsewhere. In Kelly's case, there's no guarantee that will happen for various reasons. And most of those 59 million views are likely from the US, so it really is a shame that you can get a #1 hit out of being background music to a 30-second meme or popular commercial, but then the one viral moment that is clearly being driven solely by the music can't be measured in any way to reflect that.

[#LisaRinna]

I'm sure Kelly's VEVO views and Spotify will increase (her video and audio upload have already seen a spike on YouTube), so she'll still have her streaming part.

If she sells 200k in the US during this tracking week, she's looking at top 10 on the H100 off sales alone.  Where did you get that estimate? Is it worldwide or?

From Top 1500 to #1 with just one perfomance: Kelly Clarkson's resurgence might just be one of 2016's most memorable one.

Following Kelly Clarkson's emotionally charged performance of "Piece by Piece" on American Idol last night, the title track—off her seventh studio album, released via RCA this time last year—soared to #1 on iTunes. The album, meanwhile, hit the Top 3.

Today, very early predictions have been released by Kworb and it's looking good for Kelly.


PREDICTIONS

1. Kelly Clarkson - Piece By Piece 199,000
2. Rihanna & Drake - Work 189,000
3. Flo Rida - My House 123,000
4. Justin Bieber - Love Yourself 96,000
5. Fifth Harmony - Work From Home 95,000
6. Luke Graham - 7 Years 88,000
7. ZAYN - Pillowtalk 86,000
8. Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out 85,000
9. G-Eazy & Bebe Rexha - Me, Myself & I 64,000
10. Mike Posner - I Took A Pill In Ibiza 59,000
11. Charlie Puth - One Call Away 59,000
12. DNCE - Cake By The Ocean 51,000
13. Justin Bieber - Sorry 49,000
14. ZAYN - It's You 48,000
15. Adele - Hello 47,000

When released as a single back in November last year, 'Piece By Piece' had practically zero impact, only charting at No. 32 on Adult Top 40 charts. It then continued to free fall rather despite a music video release. However within twelve hours following the show, the song charted at number one on the iTunes all genre chart in the USA and Canada and hit the Top 10 in other regions, including Australia.

And just like that, Kelly's massive resurgence might just be one of 2016's most memorable one.

^ Awesome. Hope it holds up. With airplay tracking starting tomorrow, she's got a full week of radio if they decide to start playing it right away. If the new recording is in their hands in the morning, I'm sure most morning shows will be playing it (or the live recording) at the very least given all the buzz.

"massive resurgence"

Lmao, what a reach.

MM&I is about 4-5 million ahead in streams, 20-25k ahead in sales, and only about 15-20M behind Hello in airplay. So MM&I should have no problem in passing Hello this week. Unless you meant you hope it's not lower than #8 in which case I HTM, CBTO and Roses aren't even close to Hello in points this week.

Oh, I don't mind what is ahead or behind, I just want it to be at exactly #8, since it has been in every other position in the top 10 so far (other than #8-10, ofc) :)

Good point. I think in the Periscope stream they actually mentioned that it has been decreasing one slot at a time each week. It would be quite bizarre and fascinating if it manages to not only spend a week in each position in the top ten, but do so in exactly descending order (i.e. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 or something very similar to that, since I know it was #6 for 2 consecutive weeks, for instance)
