(sorry, would post article in full but I'm on iPod)

Link not working so I will explain.

Instead of just radio airplay it now counts iTunes sales as well.

Don't like this change.

Now for the next 53 weeks Taylor Swifts "WANEGBT" will be #1 on the COUNTRY charts when all it is is a dumb POP song but will still be at #1 cuz all teenage Swift fans will buy her songs on iTunes.

Now, every artist will just release stuff like "WANEGBT" and score a #1 hit.

George Strait, Brad Paisley, Jason Aldean, etc.

will never again score a #1 even with a great song cuz Swift will be at #1 again.

Your thoughts on this?

"Gangnam Style" will probally be #1 for the next few years.

*sigh*

My main problems though are that country labels will release bad pop music. Release it to country radio. And then nothing decent will ever be played. And that Swift will take over the top spot for the rest of the decade.
