If you missed the last update
• Billboard charts have been reworked and a number of issues have been fixed including songs that are ranked the same in a given week, stuck songs, incorrect ranking.
• Signed Artists and Feature Request songs will now show up on the chart among your own.
• Your own songs that do not have a featured artist are now more balanced and get a virality boost (so that songs with featured artists are not the only popular ones)
• Lots of feedback on unrealistic stream numbers which was due to a bug. If you were under a label, the marketing bonus was being applied to each song's virality and marketing score (rather than just marketing) which is why some were reporting up to trillions of streams/billions of album sales. This bug has been fixed so you will see a drop in ridiculous streaming numbers and they will be more comparable to being signed to your own label.
• Signed Artist's streams have also been toned down for realism (some getting 10B+ streams up to trillions)
• Your Song list now shows whether songs have been released or not.
