This thread compiles the Top 50 songs ( previously Top 30 & extras) of the Billboard Hot 100 showcasing their sales, streaming, and airplay breakdowns as accurately as possible throughout a given chart week. I've been infrequently posting these in the Hot 100 threads for a while but want to make them more frequent and easy to access by creating their own dedicated thread. This is similar to fhas ' existing Top 10 thread. LegendPoints are in the simplified formatPaid + Free composition of streams are estimated using Rolling Stone's units and formula for audio streams Prog (programmed) is passive but includes static proportion of 5% (debuts) or 10% UGC streams from YouTube (this is difficult to estimate) Audio = Revenue Chart streams (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Pandora Interactive, etc.)
Video = YouTube streams (excluding YouTube Music)Passive = Pandora Radio, Slacker Radio, etc.Black + Bold values = exact (provided by Billboard), or derived from percentages when the following week's % are revealed. Therefore it might be 0.1 off (rounding error).
Black + Gold values = #1 in that metric

I think it is great you're doing this. Could you please add a column showing either % change in points or change in points? Thanks a lot in advance.

The breakdown data tells a good story. I like how the final points are shown to 3 digits, in this way one can see how close in points songs are. What's probably insignificant are the sales breakdown - physical, bundles, digital as only a few songs may have that (plenty zeros if columns were filled out), but this layout is great.

I'm a bit surprised The Box is bleeding that hard overall. I thought it would have more longevity.

 This week was interesting because the folklore songs all seem to be higher than expected given their streams. It suggests that: - They had extremely high proportion of paid audio streams (96%-99%) - Possibly more airplay than expected (can't verify this) |

- They had extremely high proportion of paid streams (96%-99%) 'Lover' had 95.1% paid steams (whole album). 'folklore' had 91% paid streams (whole album) - but this is including the YouTube streams that 'cardigan' video had.
It is strange because most of her streams come from Spotify (a platform that is available for free aswell) 56% of 'Lover' and 57% of 'folklore'. And yet the paid streams percentage is higher than albums that dominate mostly on Apple Music (which is only paid streams).

My theory is that older audiences are more likely to pay for a music subscription, most of her audience likely wouldn't use the free tier of Spotify And yeah... Revenue Chart had ~273 million streams, so ~17 million were from YouTube video. Which means an average of nearly 97% paid audio streams |

 This week we got some "on-demand audio streams" revealed to us by Billboard for WAP. Here are the numbers from each: Billboard: 54.7 million Revenue Chart: 54.88 million Rolling Stone: 52.1 million WAP's paid audio % is estimated at 0.95, using 70,000 sales (Alpha Data / RS doesn't include bundles sales in their song units) |

How did Cool Again raise 27 spots when it stayed the same in all metrics?

^The points for songs of the previous week were not calculated for songs below the Top 50 the previous week. If there had been no change, % would have been 0% rather than --.

 **Dynamite's points assume physical sales are worth twice digital sales (/2.5 instead of /5) based on what RIME has said. Hopefully we can confirm this based on where Dynamite lands on the year-end chart. I'll adjust it if this turns out to be false. |

Would Dynamite's 400 point drop from one week to the next be the highest one ever in the Hot 100?
