Thread on how Billboard charts don’t actually show the whole thing:
This is a thread on how billboards charts don’t actually do what charts are simply supposed to do (to show which songs are doing well) I’ll only discuss the main reasons on why billboard charts don’t show the whole thing, I’ll try to keep it in the shortest words, let’s start..
Global 200- I’ll talk about this first because this is truly the most misleading chart I’ve ever seen, this is nowhere near in showing the actual popular songs in the globe every week stans and here’s how:
(1)This chart doesn’t take sales/streams from platforms like Anghami (biggest streaming platform in Middle East) , QQ music(Biggest music platform in China), Line(biggest streaming platform in Japan) and 90% of the local streaming platforms in non-western countries
(2) The reason why billboards do this is simply because they always want western artists to stay at the top in their charts they are racist enough to not let any of the eastern artists shine in their charts they just make it harder and harder for artists doing well in the east
A better and more accurate name for Global 200-> Western Countries 200
Global 200 ex.US-Basically the same thing without US as it’s name suggests,mostly European streams/sales decide the ranking of any song in this chart, so it’s better to name it as ‘The White Countries 200’
Hot100- Here we go with this

(1) Radioplay plays a big factor to chart and you know how manipulative,racist,xenophobic the Radio industry is..Matter of fact if you have enough connections with them you can even chart fart noises in this chart, you won’t even need any streams or sales https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💀" title="Schädel" aria-label="Emoji: Schädel">
(2)Kpop songs are never gonna get much radioplay, not only because of the language barrier but also because of how racist and xenophobic most of the radio stations are, they will use kpop fandoms for clout in their SNS and but we remain inferior compared to western artists
(3) Now don’t tell me kpop songs get less radioplay because of the bad callouts/ratings,western artists with worser reviews still get way more radio than kpop acts, also callouts come from a survey of some 1500 people you think it’s even accurate enough?
(4) Also we are in the streaming era WHY THE FK ARE PURE SALES WEIGHTED SO HIGH, there is literally no reason for pure sales to weight this high and streams to weight this low when we are in the streaming era and not the buying era..
Tbh I can go on about these for a long time but these are the biggest reasons, billboards don’t really show the songs that are actually doing well and they are nowhere near showing that yet sadly their methodology sucks
Conclusion: Just because an artist isn’t doing well in these billboard charts doesn’t mean they are any less successful or popular, just because someone does good in billboards doesn’t mean their music is better/superior
(For blinks) BP1 officially sold 1.1 million units in QQ music making it already the best selling album by any foreign act in China and most of their songs sell in millions in QQ music alone,only if Billboards cared about Eastern sales we would be way higher in their charts....
