HELP ME PLZ IN MUSIC CLASS 1. Back when the Billboard Hot 100 chart first started, it combined record sales, radio airplay, AND jukebox picks to establish if/where a song would fall on the Hot 100 list. Why do you think they used three items together (record sales/radio airplay/jukebox picks) rather than just one of the items?

2. In the podcast, it is discussed that jukebox plays were dropped as a criteria as their influence waned. Explain this further. In your own words, why do you feel that the jukebox criteria was dropped?

3. As technology changes, they are changing the criteria of what makes a song popular. What do you feel could be criteria today that could mark a song as popular besides record sales/radio airplay?

4. It is pointed out that the current top song for August 3 of 2018 has ideas discussing feelings when falling in love, just as the very first song to ever top the Hot 100 list did. Why do you think singing about romance and lost love is "eternal" as Molanphy says?
