Billboard Recurrent Rule Changes

[someguy]

In light of Justin Moore going recurrent from #1, Billboard has now changed their rule to say that no song can go recurrent from number one anymore on their airplay chart. Additionally, songs that are bulleted in positions 2-5 may not go recurrent the following week either. These changes will take effect on the chart dated Dec. 3, and published next week (Nov. 21).

Seems like this is going to do is clogged the charts even more, they should have went in another direction, I always have thought once a song hit #1, it should go recurrent, it has accomplished what it was to do, no need for it to stay on the charts and then the rules about bullets and if haven't been on charts for 20 weeks or fallen put of top 10, it seems Billboard and mediabase needs to make major changes to their charts ,so they don't get bogged down with songs that aren't going anywhere. Make room for newer songs.
