Coming back from the mountains without Internet for a week only to see that the Republican bitchfest song debuted at 14 last week is miserable and has ruined my day Hello Republicans are currently whining because Biden compared them to Confederates and here's a song that's #14 on the Hot 100 complaining about loser racist Confederates having their statues taken down. If there was any time to weigh sales down, it would be now. Before a KKK member somehow sells 100k copies of their new racist song and hits #1.

Maybe Army could pull off something like when they mass-bought tickets to a Trump rally last year to prevent these godawful racist songs from charting.

Idk how I feel about those boomer iTunes driven songs. On one hand, to me they don't seem like a hit. But I'm a young liberal, I am not the demographic for them. Maybe they are absolutely massive for boomers or something. Still weird.

So this has probably been asked a million times but HOW tf is Butter still #1? Is it seriously just website sales?
And is it possible it estimate where it would land without website sales?

Why are there certain people that don't give a damn about those that have died from Covid-19, Like where is their empathy for the people that weren't able to survive the virus. I have already reported one of the posts from this Troll and I'm assuming that other Members on here have done the same thing. I apologize for going off topic but I just didn't want to remain silent, Not when you have these kinds of people that act like Covid-19 is not a big deal and some even compare it to the Flu. I have a Younger Brother who got diagnosed with the Coronavirus back in December of Last Year thankfully he only had very minor symptoms and was able to fully recover, I also have an Uncle who got diagnosed with the Coronavirus and like with my Younger Brother he was able to make a full recovery. Thankfully I never got the Coronavirus but I still have empathy for the Families of those people who weren't so lucky, My heart just breaks thinking of the Pain and Suffering that these Families have gone through. Hopefully an Administrator does step in to permanently ban this Troll's account from Pulse. www.wfla.com/community/health/coronavirus/13-year-old-dies-in-sleep-after-getting-covid-19-vaccine-cdc-investigating/ . can your heart break for this young child? And this was only one of the many examples..can your heart break for many other who died after the vaccination Or your heart only breaks for specific type of people? So you don't really have a heart and unfortunately no brain too .ban me or not the truth is out there .and the real trolls are some people like you here, not me .. Y'know what I know you seem to "care" about people dying from the vaccine but since you won't listen to random anonymous users on a chart forum, here's some advice from my brother who's both a licensed medical doctor and has been helping administer vaccines to hundreds of people almost everyday. "The chances of getting complications from COVID if not dying are a thousand times more likely than dying from the vaccine." So you have to decide: take the risk of a few people dying or getting a few reactions from the vaccine or millions of people dying and the world being shut. Apologies to the mods for the uncensored swears I'm about to do but I don't take anti-vaxxers lightly. You are a fu cking moron fear-mongering about vaccine. Not only have you been proven wrong time and time again by experts in science and medicine, your rhetoric and wherever you get it from has been responsible for millions of deaths. Maybe before you say "can your heart break for a few hundred that died from the vaccine", I wanna ask can your heart break for the hundreds of millions of people - including children - who've not only died from COVID, but were unable to get care for it due to hospitals being understaffed and filled to full capacity because lockdowns and other preventative measures weren't properly put in place before the vaccine, you fu cking heartless piece of sh it.

Website sales is a huge part of it, but I think that UGC not being included in the Hot 100 formula makes it easier for BTS stans to exploit the system and steal weeks at #1 by mass buying. If UGC had counted, then Butter would definitely not be #1 on the 6/26, 7/3, and 7/17 charts. Without the website sales, I still think Butter is safely in the Top 20, possibly even in the Top simply because of UGC not counting.

There's a whole COVID thread open to all of your wokeness. pulsemusic.proboards.com/thread/191394/covid-19-coronavirus-pandemic?page=282This whole thread is a cesspool full of off topic posts. Awful what these threads have become.

It's called having priorities: proper information about vaccines and COVID >>> staying on topic in a chart discussion and continuing on like harmful misinformation isn't being said.

Iโm glad we never have Liberal protest songs on the Hot 100. I mean, sure, not currently, but Liberal protest songs absolutely exist with many being remarkably major hits in the past. Some of the more recent hits come from the likes of P!nk (What About Us), Kendrick Lamar (the entire To Pimp a Butterfly album), and Beyoncรฉ (a good chunk of Lemonade) to name a few. You just may not view them as such because they're better made with lyrics that actually mean something instead of just being a rant some fat white guy said in a truck on a Facebook page put to basic music.

In that case, we could point to The Bigger Picture last year as a progressive protest song that was a hit.

I'm not clicking the article and adding to traffic Billboard generates from pandering, but sounds like they're more than on board with this going No. 1.
They also released an article about "Am I The Only One?" and discussed how sales-heavy it was and somehow the lesson they came up with was... that there's a "highly motivated audience for this kind of music" and that, much like BTS, "fans are voting with their wallets" and "if fans are really invested in a song's chart placement, the path is there for them to make a real impact, assuming they're organized and committed enough."
Safe to say Billboard is choosing to stay blissfully ignorant toward the inaccuracies its methods cause.

From the way this board reacts, you think โAm I The Only Oneโ was some explicit KKK song. It only mentions statues once, and is about someone loving America and feeling like all those around him hate it. Has nothing to even do with race.

I love that Billboard compared the BTS Army to the racists buying anti-American songs in bulk. Beautiful. Really paints the picture of insanity on both sides.

Tbh, the same demo that's buying these right-wing songs to the top 20 on the Hot 100 were/are probably the same demo that made The Voice songs dominate the iTunes chart.

Sorry to add to this, but this thread is like a microcosm of what is going on in the world. A much more eloquent version of what I say to people, and where I stand. What does your doctor tell you to do? Your doctor will tell you to take the vaccine, and has no political motivation to do so. Now, back to the regularly scheduled BTS/Olivia Rodrigo discussion.
