2 on Digital Songs (158,000 downloads sold, down 8 percent, in the week ending June 7), which it led for seven weeks. streams, down 7 percent) after eight weeks on top and holds at No. It falls 1-2 on Streaming Songs (19.3 million U.S. 1 rank on the Hot 100 by tallying a third week atop the Radio Songs chart with 171 million in all-format audience, up 1 percent, according to Nielsen Music. “Again,” released on Atlantic Records and promoted to radio by Roadrunner Promotions, maintains its No. Let’s do it again: Just like every Wednesday, let’s tell you all about the top 10 and more on the sales/airplay/streaming-based Hot 100 (dated June 20), including notable moves for Fetty Wap, Jason Derulo and top 10 newcomer Andy Grammer. It holds the top spot over Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” (featuring Kendrick Lamar), which interrupted the run of “Again” at the summit when it led the list two weeks ago. With that all said, let's jump right in to the 18 mega-hits with over 1 BILLION views on Vevo.Wiz Khalifa’s Furious 7 soundtrack hit “See You Again,” featuring Charlie Puth, spends an eighth week at No. I had never heard of it, but it had over 100M views on YouTube." How could a song be so popular, and yet unknown to me?" Its YouTube views represented its popularity. To give you an example: in researching this article, I stumbled across a song, "Princess of China", by Coldplay featuring Rihanna. You can see the number of streams on Spotify (and, doubtlessly, it's calculated into the Nielsen "streaming" rating, along with YouTube and Apple Music, among others), but YouTube is still the one that represents a song's popularity to the national consciousness.
It would be ludicrous to even suggest that someone go out and buy an album (except for Adele's 25, a weird aberration that somehow got people back into fyi or Barnes and Noble or wherever music is sold).
I believe YouTube streams are the "box office earnings" of the future. Imagine how many times people who REALLY like Taylor Swift must've watched it. I personally must have seen the "Blank Space video" at least 25 times, and I don't even consider myself a die-hard Taylor Swift fan. If you factor in all the grown ups who don't care, the people too young to be interested, the people without access to internet (let alone wi-fi) and the people who have never even heard of some of these artists, you aren't really left with all that many people.
Videos having 1 billion views doesn't necessarily mean 1 billion discrete people have watched the video.
