at least it's not the Jazz charts

tbf Smooth Jazz Songs is an airplay chart but dear god I would not wanna see a jazz sales chart lmao

[fhas]

That Way (Lil Uzi Vert) this week:

#4 on-demand streaming

#17 overall streaming

- makes no sense that a song at #4 on-demand is not top 10 on overall streaming because audio on-demand is ~80% of all streams on the Hot 100

#21 Hot 100

- again, no sense that a song at #17 on streaming with less than 2M airplay and less than 5k sales is #21 on the Hot 100

N/A on Rolling Stone Charts despite that chart being audio streaming + sales-only (it should've been top 10 on RS charts).

Maybe they're lost with That Way/I Want It That Way similarities lol.

Billboard Hot 100: 03/14/2020 — Top 20 Stats Estimate

Points of interest:

- It appears the YouTube video was barely counted for The Box (as noted already), it should have well over 50M streams in reality
- Dance Monkey lost a lot more ODS than expected
- Stupid Love was extremely close to ROXANNE and close to Blinding Lights
- #14 - #17 were all extremely close

I think a simple solution would be to just put these charts in a spoiler. People can click to see them if interested, scroll past without having to see it go on for multiple pages if not.

A very simple solution that I don't think anyone can argue with, and it's been recommended before, don't know why it hasn't been implemented.

Also Gary , I'm really wondering, for years you've been posting all the charts yourself in the same fashion as Tanooki. Why the sudden change of course and so drastically against it now?

I could probably buy one The Comet Is Coming song on iTunes and it would debut at #1 on a jazz sales chart

If not for my 4 month posting break to deal with offline issues, I would still be posting them.  Tanooki is eager to post all of the charts, if he/she has time to do that - awesome.  I would only be posting about 15 of the major ones myself anyway(as those are the ones I keep track of)

So that all said --- not against it, never said I was.  I am however in favor of organization.  We are on page 28 now, if one wants to go back next week and review these charts they would be a little hard to find.   Which is why I started threads for the 4 major ones.  

To reduce clutter on an already 28 page thread -  if we really want to discuss the R&B Digital Songs chart, for example, then we should but again - if I want to look that up here, given how these threads are - we are looking at a "needle in a haystack"

The current approach is fine if that is what we want.  I don't have time to post 100 charts each week anyway - Tanooki does, so he/she has the job.  I was trying to move towards more organization - less clutter --- but oh well

Isn't the search bar there for a reason?

The search function is there if it works - if my suggestion were put out you wouldn't need that


In the end, what do most people want.  That is what should happen.  I personally don't care anyway as I have a subscription.  If people like the 100+ charts in the middle of a 28 page thread that is where it shall be.
