I knew something was coming.  I just didn't know how they'd do it.

This is about to give the advantage back to Pop.  I am almost certain more paid subscribers are listening to Pop music.  And giving that weight over YouTube is going to hurt Rap. 

It was fun while it lasted.
you called it
Interesting they?re waiting until 2018 though
I knew Taylor wants this boost right now
I won?t be surprised if she pays for them to push it up

Right!  The timing is always curious to me of these chart rules.  But yeah, I was expecting it only because too many major white acts were falling by the wayside.  There's no way the music industry and its counterparts were going to let a cash cow like Taylor Swift struggle to keep up with someone like Cardi B and Post Malone.

Some people don't think it'll have too much of an effect, but I think it will.  I just see more paid Spotify subscribers listening to Sam Smith and Taylor Swift than Lil Uzi. 

But I have no evidence of that.  We'll see, though!

Cardi better hurry up and put that album or another single out while her fanbase can stream it on Spotify
but yea I wonder about the stream demographics are
we could be wrong but in general White people have the money in America
Niggas complain about Tidal prices, and use the free trial on Apple Music
let?s see

:kii:

You ain't lying! And will keep trying to get free trials.  JDJDJnnnnnnNNNNNN

And !!!!!! Cardi honestly should have been dropped her album.  How you don't release while your song is #1?

That level of buzz is not guaranteed for round 2.

We'll have to wait and see... it could cause RAP to dominate even more.
