comparing pre- and post- streaming rule billboard charts is a fool's game

wait deej:
kreayshawn's youtube views prove that youtube views are a metric of a song being a "hit"
but gucci's low youtube views prove that youtube views are NOT a metric of a song being a "hit"
do i have that right?

I think he was saying kreayshawn was also a hit earlier, but it's hard to determine what stance he is very correct on, here

so hard to guess a hit these days
anyway, we all agree it's not a great song?
― niels, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 20:26 (seven years ago) link
It's a great song.

For the record, I always thought Gucci Gucci was a hit and got into many an argument with trad.rap people who argued that if I thought so I must be a hipster, making my opinion null and void.

more & more people began using streaming as time passed, youtube in 2009 got less views than in 2011, and by 2013 both were going to have a lower chart position than anything released after once streams were incorporated into chart position. At which point, there was some much needed adjusting cf records like black beatles & bad & boujee jumping higher in the charts, as well as ridiculous overcompensation / game-playing, cf timmy turner.
obviously 't-shirt' is a better song than timmy turner but it also is relatively minor compared w/ the song that brought them back, and is benefitting greatly from its success & the perceived migos comeback

Timmy Turner sounds like an intro or coda for another song but is ok

does it matter whether or not the song is a hit if it owns? because...it owns

Apparently, you only think it owns. In deejality you only like it because of the hype.

i listened to this song walking to lunch, it felt so good to be listening to this infectious, relevant hit song on my earbuds, exchanging knowing smiles with people passing by, knowing they were also enjoying "T-Shirt" on this brisk winter's day

Just kidding; I, like everyone else in America, know all the words and reference points to our new national anthem, which is the amazing smash hit song "T-Shirt" by Migos.

Let us not forget that "T-Shirt" is etched onto the gold record on the Voyager space probe and will outlast human civilization.
