Yep, I'm pretty sure this is trolling.

If only Mona Lisa hit #1... It's like rappers and their labels don't care about #1s... Mona Lisa only needed a lyric video with 2.5M streams. ZEZE needed a video with 1M streams. Killshot would've been #1 if it was released on Spotify/AM/iTunes the same day that its official audio was uploaded to YouTube. What did Nonstop need? |

why would they wait this long? Either it's shameless to get more clicks and revenue (which I thought billboard would be above doing) or there is some sort of miscount or issue?

Killshot would've been #1 if it was released on Spotify/AM/iTunes the same day that its official audio was uploaded to YouTube. What did Nonstop need? fhas had Nice For What at 40,700 points and Nonstop at 40,500 points during that week. I'm not one to do calculations but that is such a close margin that I feel like the smallest amount of extra streams would have given Nonstop the edge over Nice For What. Not sure what a good estimated number for those needed streams are though, since I don't really know all the specific calculations involved. Definitely super close. |

Ok this is boring now. They've drawn it out too long. The only thing keeping my interest is the replies to the chartdata and Billboard Twitter accounts. People are losing their SHIT.

Lady Gaga Fans Launch Spoof Starbucks Campaign To Boost ‘Shallow’Little monsters are causing a latte headaches for the coffee company.headshot By Mary Papenfuss Lady Gaga fans are so in love with her Oscar-winning song “Shallow” that they’re stirring up a fake Starbucks campaign to push the Oscar-winning creation up the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The tune from the film “A Star Is Born” is currently 21st on the list, but the little monsters believe it should be much higher so they’re pushing the name on social media to get it up there, Buzzfeed reported. (Ariana Grande’s “7 rings” is currently at the top.) The fake “Shallowbucks” campaign claims Starbucks will give customers a free drink voucher if they send a screenshot of themselves listening to the song. Some diehard fans are even tweeting fake messages from Starbucks, and boasting that they’ve received their vouchers to keep the ruse going.

The reactions are amusing but if Shallow isn't #1, Billboard is cancelled.

Could they be debating the inclusion/weight of certain video streams? A recalculation of the formula?
Or is there some other potential issue that doesn't even have to do with the #1...?
