I'm sorry, but Billboard really need to sort music history data into two different categories like it's the Old/New Testament. There should be a 1940 (which was when a "Popular music" ranking chart was first tabulated) - 2012 Billboard chart ... and an after 2012 music chart (where streaming is incorporated). Streaming is clearly a tactic used to aid today's struggling artists that can't shift huge sales, but want to appear competent enough to match records set by the elite of previous decades! Only a small handful in the industry now seem poised to position themselves to ONE DAY be comfortably grouped amongst them down the line. These new streaming certifications shouldn't be anything more than a footnote! Giving away these gold/platinum certifications like it's antibiotics for street walkers juggling clients is going to be the reason this industry is considered a joke! It's goes against everything Billboard is built on. This is clearly a case where separate does not need to be equal.
