This may have to get moved to another part of the forum, and that’s great, however it kills me to say that not only officially is radio dead, but these spins that once were hard-earned and now officially paid promotion.
There has been some great songs this year but some of them getting quad-digit increases from the start and out of nowhere is clearly a payola job, you could include this with when they are sniffing Top 5 and all of sudden get that jolt to take the top spot only to disappear weeks later.
Jimin (LOL, I mean come on), Coldplay, TS, Charli XCX (undecided, but looks questionable), Gaga/Mars- hate to say it, they are in the category.
In comparison to Chappel Roan, Shaboozey, Hozier, Madison Beer…
It’s more obvious than ever that radio is simply and only a paid promotion tool much like the Country chart.
Don’t even get me started on my beloved Spotify and what they are up to…you know that’s a thing too.

Think what you want, it all checks out.
I’m hoping XCX continues to see these numbers but don’t think she will.
What’s your explanation for Coldplay and Katy Perry the past month?
Fortnight?
Love Twenty One Pilots…have you seen The Craving’s latest numbers?
I’m seriously curious. Because as of the last twenty years…the CHR charts don’t work this way.

What’s been abnormal about any of these that can’t be explained by their respective circumstances? |

Adding Jimin to your list of "payola" is unfair and biased
Jimin's Who has 4 weeks on bb100, it topped US Spotify, and 5 weeks out still no2 global spotify,3weeks no 1 Amazon sales, 300k shazams - truth is he deserves radio more than most western artists and is barely getting spins comparable to the amount of demand
How many western artists on radio also got no1 on spotify streams on US and global

I think it’s completely fair considering he’s nowhere near the Top 100 on Apple, what else would the explanation be?
Kind of reminds me of when Zayn was charting….like where are all the fans at?

Their listeners don’t care about it. Machines streaming it, throwing it in algorithms…that makes sense. |
