Grande’s duet with Justin Bieber,
which the 23-year-old turned on gang members and pleaded guilty to nine federal felonies including racketeering conspiracy, firearms charges and narcotics trafficking — meant anticipation was high for his return. So when the New York native took to Instagram Live on May 8 and instantly drew 2 million viewers for what ended up being a 15-minute stream, all metrics seemed to point to a big debut once he had new music ready to drop.
To decode the rapper’s assertions requires a deep dive into one of the most walled-off processes in the entertainment business: Billboard’s Hot 100 rules. Rules exist, but good luck finding a copy of the Nielsen chart bylaws anywhere, although labels are informed of the formula.
I should’ve done this a while ago.
Damn! He stays ratting on people!
Send him back to prison
SNITCH
PAYING FOR BILLBOARDS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE 60S AS PAYOLA. NOTHING THE LABELS DON'T KNOW ABOUT OR HAVEN'T ADMITTED TO IN THE PAST. THEY STILL DO IT.
I love ArianaGrande response to all of this! Super classy
Who? And what?
Ariana queen didn’t lie about mustin tho
You made this whole tweet and didn’t once mention Scooter Braun. 6ix9ine hasn’t once mentioned or address Justin Bieber in his commentary. Funny how you expose yourselves.
Hes just mad
Why are we still considering anything he says? 😂
Why do you guys give him press?
