Expected better HDD numbers for Juice WRLD in streams tbh considering that Come and Go got 15.3 million from Spotify alone. Spotify was by far his biggest platform.
US Spotify, week ending 07/16/2020
1 Come & Go (with Marshmello) by Juice WRLD 15,293,660 2 Wishing Well by Juice WRLD 14,305,988 3 Conversations by Juice WRLD 12,750,604 4 Life's A Mess (feat. Halsey) by Juice WRLD 12,116,204 5 Hate The Other Side (with Marshmello & The Kid Laroi) by Juice WRLD 11,457,525 6 Righteous by Juice WRLD 10,644,148 7 ROCKSTAR (feat.

^ quickly counting Juice WRLD's total streams from this week on Spotify, he had around 173 million streams which is 45% of his total on-demand streams and in line with how his last album performed.
Also remember that HDD's chart is on-demand only and doesn't include the YouTube streams the album tallied.

Legends Never Die had 181,017,448 streams on Spotify US ( +9,906,209 compared to Carter V). Also this is the first time (i have noticed) Spotify Weekly chart to give the exact same streams as the daily charts combined. Before the weekly chart always had ~1% more streams than the daily charts combined. Album | Artist | Spotify US | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7 | Carter V | Lil Wayne | 171,111,239 | 49,469,116 | 30,039,134 | 19,224,681 | 21,322,277 | 18,209,086 | 15,989,633 | 14,141,864 | Legends Never Die | Juice WRLD | 181,017,448 | 47,849,132 | 30,786,059 | 23,133,726 | 22,473,754 | 20,559,467 | 18,793,609 | 17,421,701 |
Based on HitsDD Streaming Songs Chart, Legends Never Die has 379,863,783 On Demand Audio Streams. With video streams it will go over 400M, but 433M is a bit too much.

^ Wow. It basically pulled 10 million more US streams on Spotify than Carter V with 2 less songs (well 6 because the intro, outro and 2 interludes aren't complete tracks) and did so during a period when audio streaming is down all over. Whether it breaks Tha Carter V's record or not, that's very impressive.

He does, but Tha Carter V has the second-largest streaming week for any album with 433 million streams. That's the record I'm referring to.

Yes for Watermelon Sugar in the top 10 on radio. Didn't think Say So would leave the top 10 on radio before Intentions.

In the latest top 40 radio callouts, Adore You has the best radio net positive callout followed by Rockstar and Watermelon Sugar. Intentions, Roses and Rain On Me, in that order, from the one having the worst net positive callout bring up the rear among current songs.

For debuts, the weekly chart had 3-5% more streams than the seven days combined. So it's gonna be hard to top Lil Wayne and Post Malone.

Wow. HDD REALLY hates Billboard. Well do you blame them? Billboard has had several eras of inaccurate metrics, with the late 90s being one of them when they had that ridiculous rule in place that made songs like βDonβt Speakβ unable to chart on the Hot 100. Or their ridiculous metrics from 2001-2005 that only measured airplay and made it nearly impossible for pop songs to go Top 10. Or their ridiculous metrics in the late 2010βs where they counted user generated social media content as part of a songβs success. Theyβve f**ked up way too much. HDD is completely right when they said the only spot that counts on Billboard is the #1 spot, and even that seems so cheapened down. They shouldnβt change these rules mid year. I think itβs a horrible idea to get rid of counting bundled music. At the very least they shouldβve kept counting it for the Billboard 200 because those fans are really buying that merchandise/music. Iβm fine with it being removed from the Hot 100 though. I never understood why they would count Bundles on the Hot 100 when fans are already streaming those songs, or very likely they already bought the digital single prior. Your assessment of Billboard is exaggerated and even inaccurate in some cases. For starters, airplay wasn't the only thing measured from 2001-2005, physical sales were as well, they were just really low, and pop songs did enter the top 10, just not as frequently because R&B/Hip-Hop was just overall much more popular on radio back then.

Other metrics shouldβve been added on the Hot 100 back then. Why did Billboard completely ignore counting music videos back then? They were so adamant about adding YouTube views in 2013 onward, but why did that only start just then. Music video airing on MTV/Vh1/BET were very relevant back then, yet they were not being counted on Billboard. But now Billboard wants to add tik tok views. Okay, well, why werenβt they counting TRL votes in 2001 then? It just seems they ignored a whole chunk of the pie for so long but then suddenly in the early 2010s they woke up and said we are not only counting the entire pie, but we will count the cake too. They literally went from undercounting to overreaching at the turn of the 2010s. All we are looking for is some consistency.

^ Well, the argument of why music videos weren't counted can go back as far as the early 80s since the advent of MTV. To be honest I'm not quite sure why they weren't counted, maybe they should have, though I think I remember seeing the reasoning somewhere might have been because this would have disproportionately favored the biggest budget major labels who could afford putting expensive videos on MTV. It also might have had to do with the fact that in the past, the music video, from a cultural standpoint, was viewed more as a separate, visual medium that didn't belong on the audio-focused music charts. Now I guess, much more people consume their music through music videos and YouTube, and the concept of music-listening has changed where the visual has become much more a part of the auditory process.

They literally went from undercounting to overreaching at the turn of the 2010s. All we are looking for is some consistency. They were so adamant about adding YouTube in 2013 because of Gangnam Style. They seemed like they were quite embarrassed that it missed #1. You could tell by their articles that they were really hoping it would be #1. Hell, even Adam Levine seemed embarrassed about, I remember him saying at the time that he really wanted his song to drop from #1 so Gangnam Style could be there. Earlier YouTube hits either made #1 anyway like Crank That or were so hated that people were just glad they didn't get anywhere near #1 like Friday. But I agree if we could turn back time I would want them to be counting YouTube from 2007 onwards, which is when it really started getting big, and I think they would.

Thriller would have been #1 for 52 weeks possibly back then. If people had the ability to watch that video on demand back then it would have been #1 for a long long time. 16-19 weeks would pail in comparison to that song and video from a cultural stand point.

The We are the World remix would've also hit number one if YouTube was accounted for back in 2010 so...evil balanced?

I think the next #1 on radio will be Watermelon Sugar. I would say ROCKSTAR but for some reason I don't see it reaching #1 on radio although it would be nice if it happened.

Music Videos were not included because MTV was not available in most US homes until the early 90s. Cable penetration was a niche market.
It was also considered just one "radio station" or programming voice as opposed to what the Hot 100 tried to measure, which was hundreds of decision makers (retail / radio stations)

I was an MTV addict when I was a kid. I watched as much as I could until my parents yelled at me to go play outside. π

Thriller would have been #1 for 52 weeks possibly back then. If people had the ability to watch that video on demand back then it would have been #1 for a long long time. 16-19 weeks would pail in comparison to that song and video from a cultural stand point. Thriller had 37 weeks at #1 as it was in multiple stints. The last 17 was solely due to the release of the Thriller video in late 1983

Your assessment of Billboard is exaggerated and even inaccurate in some cases. For starters, airplay wasn't the only thing measured from 2001-2005, physical sales were as well, they were just really low, and pop songs did enter the top 10, just not as frequently because R&B/Hip-Hop was just overall much more popular on radio back then. Sure there were rare cases like βBeautifulβ peaking at #2 or βToxicβ peaking at #9, but some would argue those peaks were low for how big of hits those songs were (βBump Bump Bumpβ at #1?). Other metrics shouldβve been added on the Hot 100 back then. Why did Billboard completely ignore counting music videos back then? They were so adamant about adding YouTube views in 2013 onward, but why did that only start just then. Music video airing on MTV/Vh1/BET were very relevant back then, yet they were not being counted on Billboard. But now Billboard wants to add tik tok views. Okay, well, why werenβt they counting TRL votes in 2001 then? It just seems they ignored a whole chunk of the pie for so long but then suddenly in the early 2010s they woke up and said we are not only counting the entire pie, but we will count the cake too. They literally went from undercounting to overreaching at the turn of the 2010s. All we are looking for is some consistency. βBeautifulβ needed only 8,000 copies sold of a physical single for it to have hit #1 the week it was #2. Shame they didnβt release one in the U.S.

I think the next #1 on radio will be Watermelon Sugar. I would say ROCKSTAR but for some reason I don't see it reaching #1 on radio although it would be nice if it happened. Rockstar is actually doing really well on pop radio, some of the best callout scores. Kinda like Post Malone's Rockstar.
