It's not Billboard's fault that Rihanna's label is smarter than the country labels.

It has nothing to do with 'smartness'. Rihanna is a versatile artist that is spun on many formats. She is currently recieving heavy rotation from Pop, Urban, and Rhythmic formats (all huge formats in the radio industry...possibly the biggest ones). Of course HSS's sales are not going to be enough to overtake it...the song has been out for a long time now. Rihanna's just appealing to more formats than Train

[HolidayGuy]

Train also appeals to multiple formats- it's just that neither AC or Hot AC have the audience potential that Rhythmic does (Urban audience usually is less than Rhythmic).

I think SS will be #1 this week! with easter sales it could go over 250

I was refering to this part:

''I don't understand why country-crossover are always shipped to AC and pop formats MONTHS AFTER their country release, yet urban/R&B nearly always gets a simultaneous pop format release. None of those singles stand a chance against the urban/R&B/pop releases... and to be honest, the only ones that have succeeded over the past few years have been singles that had an extraordinary sales week''.

;)

Again, that's not really the case. Whereas the Urban/Rhythmic formats don't mind if core artists chase crossovers, Country has been hesitant at times, though with the recent success of Taylor Swift (YBWM, Fifteen), that fear should really be dispelled.

Quick point to note: Taylor's reign on country seems to have slowed down which some may attribute to her pop catering, but I personally think is due more to overexposure. So I stand by my point that country artists should stop worrying and chase the crossover (if they so wish and if they think they can succeed).

I know this is a time-old debate, but the Hot 100 seriously needs to be retooled to factor in what the public is actually buying, and not what radio is playing. Since when did the public get a say in what they should hear??

Online requests play a large role in what is played on radio, so the public actually does get a say in what they should hear as well. Of course, the debate on sales vs. radio has been going on for quite some time but there are reasons for the inclusion of audience impressions into the Hot 100.

It is quite phenomenal to see any number one song get so many spins across the country when considering the variations in regional tastes in music, and this should be represented in the national charts. Additionally, some artists, such as Jay-Z with his American Gangster album, choose to bypass iTunes and other digital music outlets and were unable to obtain support from digital sales. That would make any non-digital song ineligible to chart, even though it may have a large audience on radio and a substantial impact on album sales. I am still upset that "Don't Speak" never charted on the Hot 100 even though it is one of the biggest songs of the '90s and of No Doubts' career. Lastly radio had played an instrumental role in expanding the audiences of Lady Antebellum and Taylor Swift and helping to create the chart success both acts have experienced over the past couple of years. I think the current equation for chart position is one of the most sound, such that song with combined great airplay and digital sales are the strongest contenders for number one, as both factors are important indicators of popularity in the US or any given country.

Of course it has its faults, one of which being that peak digital sales usually have to overlap peak radio airplay to get to number one and the greater the distance between when the peaks are reached, the less likely the song will achieve the success on the Hot 100 that had on the radio and digital charts independently. One example being "Bad Romance", a song which had its peak digital sales and radio airplay have overlapped, would have easily reached number one. The same goes with "Party in the USA", but there's no way to account for that except for year end charts. Maybe i'm just a stan of Billboard lol

amazing increases for Rude Boy. People just can't get enough of that song.

Taylor's reign on country seems to have slowed down

If we are attributing her "reign on country" solely to her performance at country radio (simply because I know a lot of people recently have pointed to the performance of Fearless as supposed evidence), I don't think she has ever reigned there has she? There have always been artists whose had more successful eras on country radio compared to Taylor (Carrie/Brad for instance). On a grander scale, I'm not too surprised her reign as "the biggest country act out" is coming to an end, as her era is coming to an end. I do agree with you that a touch of overexposure could possibly also be attributed though. Sorry to go slightly off topic, just something I wanted to comment on.

[fridayteenage]

Yeah, she's been exposing us to singles that she's done no promotion for and doesn't even have real videos for. Darn her for always being around.

I agree, it seems that Lady A has taken over for the time being, with the success of NYN (single and album). But I fully expect Taylor to have a 2009-type year again once she releases her third album.

[Alex]

The 50/50 mix is good for Hot 100 positions. Do you guys really want the GLEE CAST and Justin Bieber to be #1 on Hot 100 all year long if the chart was mostly sales base. I don't. Radio is a good indication of what songs are popular or not. For the most part, good catchy songs end up being hits while boring bland songs flop.

But the ratio is not 50/50. 100 MILLION audience impressions has the same weight as 100 THOUSAND paid downloads. The sales-airplay ratio is actually 100:1, so sales end up almost always playing a bigger role, since airplay rarely exceeds 130 MILLION but sales is generally above 170 THOUSAND, and sometimes even above 200.

[Brazilian Guy]

And considering the number of radio listeners vs. digital buyers, the ratio makes total sense to me.

I think the streaming market should hold a higher percentage. That's a good indicator of what people are trying to listen to.

But the ratio is not 50/50. 100 MILLION audience impressions has the same weight as 100 THOUSAND paid downloads. The sales-airplay ratio is actually 100:1, so sales end up almost always playing a bigger role, since airplay rarely exceeds 130 MILLION but sales is generally above 170 THOUSAND, and sometimes even above 200.

You spend $1.29 to download a song; you spend four minutes of your time to listen to the same song on the radio.

Odds are you like a song you are willing to pay for, much more than ine that randomly comes up on your radio station

No, they'll get shafted like Lady A did. Rude Boy's airplay nearly doubles Hey Soul Sister... which means Train needs to sell about 70,000 copies more than Rihanna, which just isn't happening.

And this one I blame SOLELY on radio - they were REALLY slow in picking it up (and still are, if you look at how miniscule the growth is on a daily basis, and has been over the past few months). Yet a song like Rihanna's or even a newer one like B.O.B's has been getting huge advances, and multiple formats aside, Pop/Top 40 formats have spun those songs like crazy.

Again, why do those songs get an advantage over something by Lady A or Train when clearly their sales speak for themselves, they are hugely popular with the public or neither would have sold well past 2 million copies already.

As someone else also stated, the same happened with Jason Mraz - hugely popular single, but it wasn't spun heavily by radio enough to let it compete with the big guns. I think it sucks that radio dictates what the "public" gets to hear and also dictates how particular singles perform on the chart. I think about 80% of a single's performance on the Hot 100 should be determined by sales alone. The Hot 100 would be more static and repetitive trash wouldn't reign at #1 for multiple weeks just because it had the advantage of being spun multiples times at radio.

If a song like "Boom Boom Pow" is continuously purchased by the public enough to keep it at #1 on the sales chart, then it deserves to be #1 on the Hot 100 for however long... however, if another song like Party In The USA comes along but has the disadvantage of only being played at a pop format yet is the number one selling single in the country, then that should have some bearing on its position. I just find it unfair that most of the #1's that top the Hot 100 are songs that are also urban/r&b-format hits.

I don't understand why country-crossover are always shipped to AC and pop formats MONTHS AFTER their country release, yet urban/R&B nearly always gets a simultaneous pop format release. None of those singles stand a chance against the urban/R&B/pop releases... and to be honest, the only ones that have succeeded over the past few years have been singles that had an extraordinary sales week.

I know this is a time-old debate, but the Hot 100 seriously needs to be retooled to factor in what the public is actually buying, and not what radio is playing. Since when did the public get a say in what they should hear??

no to 80 sales, taylor swift wouldve had an even huger era. bieber would have every song released as a single go top 10, glee would have tons of top 20s, etc

I think the streaming market should hold a higher percentage. That's a good indicator of what people are trying to listen to.

But does it generate anywhere near as much revenue as radio play or digital sales?

The Hot 100 is an indicator of the most popular songs in the country, not about revenue.
Digital Sales and Billboard 200 take care of revenue.
