Billboard has announced that YouTube streams will be factored into the Billboard 200 albums chart starting early next year. Video streams from other platforms will also count, including Apple, Spotify, Tidal, and Vevo, and Billboard says the change will also impact genre album consumption charts, like country, Latin, and others. Billboard's charts have historically been seen as a barometer of success within the music industry.

    No offense intended to either, whose artistic merit will ultimately be judged by history. And if you think I'm excluding any of us from my screed, you have misread my intent, monkey boy. Take your eye off the banana and look at the system.
