I just read a Yahoo article that says Justin Bieber's "Baby Baby Baby" is the biggest single of all time, even though Elton John's "Candle In The Wind" has sold the most physical copies.

.

How is this possible? Because YouTube hits now count for something . . . not "sales" per se, but they are part of how Billboard tracks chart position.

.

eek

There's his whole discography on Kat.ph and maybe every other Torrent site, It's one of the easiest things in the world to get his whole albums for free...! Y Prince doesn't do nuthing about it?!

Prince is not against the Internet. He's against piracy and/or artists not getting paid for their work.

They're sick fuck people..

Justin never managed to score a number one single in his whole soon-to-be-ended career.. Boyfriend was number 2, but America never liked his crap... cool

For the youtube hits i feel bad for music being directed that way... I mean that means every single video dropped by PSY channel will get tons of views => The song gets high airplay => Emerges to the top ten easily! Billboard sucked a lot of ass in the last 3 years... Not to mention Bieber winning milestone artist over Bruno Mars because of the votes; An award should never be given because of votes..
