We all know the industry cheats to get those #1s.

Always has, always will.

It was a lot worse before November 1991, that's when Billboard started using Nielsen data instead of just kinda having record stores report their sales which was ripe for abuse...

True, but just saying.

It's even more interesting to find out what they do to cheat the system though. (TBF you can't really market a song to #1 with out people liking it)
