Total Streams for Save Your Tears: 3,518,426

Well this week was busier than I expected, with maybe gaining 8% thanks to mainstream sellout dropping, Just a Cloud Away up 12% after a full week of tracking, she's all i wanna be recovering with 10% boost with chaotic dropping, the continued resurgence of Wait a Minute! getting 18% more streams, Wasted on You rising 8% as Morgan Wallen is integrated back into popular music, The Motto gaining more momentum with an 8% rise. But of course the big story is Envolver rocketing up 46% after going super viral around the world.

But that wasn't all as it looks like Olivia's documentary also caused her songs to rise quite a bit:
good 4 u (+9%)
traitor (+10%)
deja vu (+10%)
drivers license (+11%)
favorite crime (+13%)

[HolidayGuy]

Looking at HITS' streaming chart- where are most of the audio streams for the Latto track coming from? It comes in at No. 7 with 8.592 million. The original version was No. 54 on Spotify for the week (2.45 million) and on Apple Music, the original performed similarly to Spotify in rank (at least in the latter half of the week), while the remix didn't last long in the top 200. YouTube audio probably doesn't add much to the total. Perhaps Tidal or another outlet. Or maybe it's an April Fool.

Meanwhile, HITS has Machine Gun Kelly's top track at 6.8 million (No. 23); around 3.3 million came from Spotify for the week, and as of now, it's still top 40 at Apple Music. Hmmm...

[enwhy]

holy shit

[nathanalbright]

When we're talking about #1 predictions, that's the sort of thing we need to see, yes, to justify the hype.

[Caviar]

Finally SHIT! He will easily debut at #1 for weeks on end and claim the defining song of 2022.

[s9983]

Does anyone know if M carey will get the credit for the big energy remix? And if not this week, then next week? Remix seems to be doing pretty well.

[chartfreak]

I don't know what will happen if Drake's next album is only 25 minutes long.

I doubt it. The remix has not been doing well on streaming and the sales aren’t enough to make up the chart points

The issue lies in radio and streaming. It might be outselling the original but radio is not playing the remix nor is it catching on streaming (the original is dominant on Spotify and Apple Music while the remix is outdoing on YouTube). It depends on how Billboard chooses to ratio things out. It is possible that Mariah will be credited but I am not completely convinced yet. We'll have to wait until Monday to see!

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

Given that Heat Waves is #1 on HITS' weekly Streaming Songs chart, it is quite possible that it will actually reach a new peak at Streaming Songs this week.

I have a strong feeling her label will try to arrange this for her and that Billboard will oblige, whether or not she has the majority of points. This is Mariah we're talking about, and they wouldn't want to snub her. It seems they've done this for other artists as well; the rules can be somewhat flexible at the right price.

[rihannabiggestfan]

The obsessed Adele-hating Swifties on ATRL must be creaming themselves (while pretending to stan)

I saw that a lot of unbiased ppl/sources like As It Was tho, so I'll check it out

[lurker2]

Love that the April Fool's joke turned everyone into K@te Bu$h stans lol (changed name in case it would be autochanged or smth). Anyways, stream Hounds of Love.

You sound so naive and ridiculous with this mess.

Let me unpack the nonsense you are insinuating by what you just said:

1. Billboard accepts bribes for chart placement
2. Mariah Carey's chart positions are bought by her label
3. If Billboard follows their own rule, they are "snubbing" an artist who doesn't receive credit (or this only applies to Mariah?)
4. Mariah's #2 peaks are all snubs, because Billboard snubbed her by not just giving her the #1

If you are going to say rando crap like "it seems they've done this for other artists" - at least provide a photocopy of a fake receipt to back it up.

The cringiest post in awhile, congratulations.

They did something similar for Dua, they dropped DaBaby from the credits even though the remix was still clearly earning the majority of the points. They can be flexible if the label wants them to be.

[Future Captain]

Yeah, billboard tend to be flexible with chart credits. Perfect Duet being the one credited on the year-end even though in the weekly chart it only get credited for like 3 weeks is another example

That is not a "similar" situation.  The point I'm making is that Billboard has a specific rule when adding an artist credit to an established hit.  They have to meet the point threshold. Period.  There aren't exceptions made, or everyone would be doing it and all of the people that have been "snubbed" wouldn't have been.

Artist crediting has changed for decades. People being removed, specifically, for various reasons.  That's not what I'm taking about.  It's ADDING them that requires a point ratio be met.  If what I'm saying isn't true, why do they have that very public rule that they speak on in their write-ups whenever it happens or doesn't happen? 

I know some of you just like to argue, but please be logical here.

Whatever year-end stuff you're talking about is irrelevant to why Beyonce was added to the weekly chart to begin with.  Her version had the majority of chart points for the weeks she was credited. That's all I'm talking about.  Mariah isn't just going to be added to the weekly Hot 100 unless her version meets that threshold during the given tracking period.  

I guarantee you, Billboard will mention it in their write-up either way.  They always do in a high profile situation like this, especially if the song is in the upper region of the chart.

I don't know why you need to explain anything to any of these antivaxxers or conspiracy theorists ....hehe hehe lmao

[phieaglesfan712]

If I remember correctly, the Beyonce version of Perfect got the majority of points during the first week at #1 and about 50% of the points during the second week at #1. To me, those are the only weeks the Beyonce version should have been credited for. For some reason, Billboard continued to credit the Beyonce version Weeks 3-5 at #1, even though that version had clearly faded during those weeks.

I get what you mean in that a certain threshold (50%?) needs to be passed in order for an artist to be added to a credit, but why are examples of artists being removed different? If a featured-artist version of a song receives 50% of the total contribution to the points for that week’s chart placement, but the featured artist doesn’t receive credit due to label politics, etc, how is that different/better/not a snub? (I get this is totally a side point but you asked for examples, examples were provided and you were a bit flippant about them, is all).

Because being removed is literally the opposite of being added? That's why I'm being flippant.  I'm saying, in today's age, is there one example of an artist credit being added to an existing hit song without receiving the required threshold of weekly points?  No, there isn't.  Why? Because if that were possible, everyone would be doing it. Their examples aren't the same thing, and totally missing the point.  Billboard doesn't just do favors for labels by adding artists to hit songs.

I don't think some of you realize how under pressure Billboard is to get it right, and to follow their own rules. They are under a microscope weekly. Chart rules and predictions are so well known these days because of social media and stan armies, it's probably never been more stressful. Labels are regularly inquiring about and/or disputing things behind the scenes, so Billboard isn't just fudging numbers and getting away with it to appease any artist or label. Not in today's world.

If you think of it as an artist being added once and left at that, sure. But if you look at it on a weekly basis, where every week is an individual chart, it isn’t as simple. If Beyoncé is eligible for credit on the Perfect Duet for one week because her version contributed 58% of the points to the overall total, but then only 42% the next week, should she still have the credit? It’s not a matter of her being “removed”, it’s a matter of her being added a second time during a period when she wasn’t eligible. (These aren’t the actual numbers btw as I’m sure you know. It’s just an example to explain what I mean).

Yes, every week is different.  I think you're clouding the actual point with something that nobody seems to have actual numbers on. One thing is clear, Beyonce got credited for a #1 hit because her version received, for at least one week, the majority of the song's total points.

If I could please reduce everything I've wasted my time typing this morning into the following sentence, I'm good, and I need to get on with my weekend and stop arguing with bored people online:

Billboard is not going to newly credit Mariah, or any artist, on an established hit song because the label or anyone else asked them (or paid them) to, they have a well-documented rule in place.

If you think of it as an artist being added once and left at that, sure. But if you look at it on a weekly basis, where every week is an individual chart, it isn’t as simple. If Beyoncé is eligible for credit on the Perfect Duet for one week because her version contributed 58% of the points to the overall total, but then only 42% the next week, should she still have the credit?

Not sure why you choose to be an ass over having a conversation when points related to what you’re trying to say are being made and you can’t explain them yet you’re bored enough to get upset over it anyway, but you do you.
