something that really put changing power of the charts in perspective for me is that a song spending 30 weeks in the top 10 in 1960 would be the equivalent of spending about 50 weeks in the top 10 now

^So, where Blinding Lights and Sweet Night the only song with over 10,000 in digital song sales, then? No. Dance Monkey sold ~10,900 (estimated by me using HDD's Revenue Chart).
One Margarita - #4 on Digital Sales - sold only ~9,300 (estimated by Forbes). |

^That's another record low to keep in mind, then.

Digital Sales this week: 2. Sweet Night 11,000 - The previous record-low for the #2 song was 17,000 in six weeks since October/2019.
I thought it would have sold way more than that. Although, it's weird how "Chicken Noodle Soup" by J-hope charted as it only made #9 on digital. |

^Shows you how actual numbers rather than positions are the ones that actually matter in the end. The latter can be deceiving and have to be put in context.

yep - Lil Uzi Vert for instance all of a sudden has 62 chart entries, most of which of course have come recently Pre-streaming - 62 was a career for superstar acts - Uzi is a superstar tho |

So in theory, it would only takes two or three mixtapes for Uzi to beat Drake (assuming that the latter doesn't release in the meantime).

^ Lil Uzi Vert has 62 chart entries, Drake has 208 chart entries. The difference is 146 songs. 2 Projects - 146 / 2 = 73 songs each3 Projects - 146 / 3 = 49 songs each
What most of you people don't get is that Eternal Atake was a one time thing, most likely he will not release another album like this. It is the same as thinking that every next Drake project will be a double album because Scorpion was a double album. It Will NOT. Scorpion was an exception (getting out of a record deal), Eternal Atake is most likely an exception (long awaited album that had been delayed for years).

Drake's power to have 30 hits at a time may be a little less now

"Chicken Noodle Soup" had also sold 11,000. Chicken Noodle Soup had received considerable YouTube streams in the US, which aided its points. Sweet Night didnβt get many at all, with people instead focusing on buying the MV on iTunes (which doesnβt count for the charts). |

I do understand your point. On the other hand, take a song like Let it Go. Sales for the Frozen soundtrack were a testament to the song's tremendous popularity, and yet that was not reflected on the Hot 100. There are countless girls out there between the ages of 6 and 10 who likely like the whole album. True. But would you agree that Let it Go was a major force behind the album's massive sales? No other song from the album has 3 billion views on YouTube, right? |

A force but not the only force At the height of its popularity girls in the target age group all over the world could recite the lyrics to every song because they watched the movie, the movie and the sing-along songs were the primary force to album sales, the most popular of which was Let It Go |

Yβall underestimate the power each song has. Aside from LIG, βLove Is An Open Doorβ, βFor The First Time In Foreverβ and especially βDo You Want To Build A Snowman?β were all pretty popular when the album dropped. I know so many kids who love the βwe finish each otherβs- SANDWICHES!β line in βDoorβ and βhang in there Joanβ from βSnowmanβ. Itβs not just Elsa fueled
I will say no one really cares about the other songs though, expect for Olafβs solo on occasion

I don't even get the discussion. Why are we talking about him getting a record that he is nearly 150 charting entries away from.... like what is the logic of even trying to predict that. |

You should ask Enigma that i just pointed it out how stupid it sounded that LUV will surpass Drake with 2/3 mixtapes. |

With Ke$ha's 2010 "Cannibal" reaching a peak of #31 on the Canadian Charts, I'm starting to understand why some prefer them over the Billboard Charts π
For those who are more well-informed on the matter, what are the key differences between the Canadian and Billboard Charts in terms of data collected and what is taken into account?

It took Canada longer for streaming to take off, I don't think they had Spotify until like 2014? Or maybe that was when they started using in the CH100, don't quote me on that. |

I'm pretty sure they haven't taken UGC videos off of the Canadian H100 for some reason, which is the biggest difference and the reason why Cannibal is so high. It's the same reason why Bad Guy and Old Town Road are still top 20 in Canada, despite not doing that well on Spotify/AM, seeing that those were the biggest UGC songs in the US when UGC was still allowed on the H100 |
