Rate artistes by the download!
The time has come to do away with billboard top 100's. This is because sales of the album alone is no barometer of its success. Sites like rapidshare and bittorrent should publish their music downloads and this should be included in the way we rate the popularity of an artiste's album. They should release the top 100 downloads for music and other stuff. This way we have some kind real life statistic as to who is popular and who is not. They should eventually combine the downloads along with the actual sale figures to give an accurate reflection of who is NO.1. This would eventually benefit the artiste from the publicity and increase his net worth in the real world.
