It's not bullshit.
That's what we just established yesterday. It is bullshit. It's not true. The numbers are false. You're literally being lied to.

Number Ones didn't actually achieve what's being claimed on social media. Sony have simply DECIDED that Number Ones will be in the chart this week and Essential will tank because of it.

Streams are the most common way people consume music these days, and that is now the main metric for calculating charts. Perhaps learn to move on with the times.
Exactly. These days it's all about streaming individual songs. As a direct consequence, albums are not sold and it's therefore meaningless to talk about album sales they way some people are trying to. They need to move with the times and realise it's not 1995 any more.

props to @beltrano for keeping this thread somewhat active.
He's just clogging up storage and bandwidth with stuff that doesn't matter, and isn't even true.

So you complain because this thread does not heal your boredom? Do something else then.
Not quite. I occasionally click in case there's something genuine that's happened. And every time I click, I have to read through 2-3 pages of fake news from the same person, before I realise that nothing happened.

It actually detracts from any actual accomplishments that Michael gets.

Nice idea, go ahead!
Read the thread. I've had at least a dozen ideas that would actually make the thread interesting.

I don't have a heavy interest in worshipping these manufactured statistics, but if I did, what's a replacement anonymous image host now that Imgur is banned?

I think the comparison is interesting. Assuming these are both current full-week USA charts. Maybe Spotify isn't?

iTunes
1 THRILLER
2 History
3 Off the Wall
4 Bad

Spotify
1 THRILLER
2 Bad
3 Off the Wall
4 History

Why the big differences between Bad and HIStory?
