most chart stats are. in short the single is catching on and fairly quickly (tho surprise surprise, radio is going to lag far behind)

It's not that they're meaningless - more that meaning is changing. The fact that Kodak Black has had the most streamed song after Ed Sheeran for two weeks only to be replaced by Kendrick surely tells us something about the new market. It's more that we'll probably see a new record set every week, more or less, as the new chart era consolidates itself.

yeah this is why i hate billboard chart 'records' that are almost never evaluated in the context of how the data is (and used to be) compiled wrt major market shifts that have occurred. sadly tho that kind of trivia has been a fixture of the culture surrounding chartwatching since like the 80s afaict? and it's the kinda shit that gets lots of rts/shares on social media now so billboard will prob keep churning those factoids out.
