Billboard Hot 100 blends U.S.-focused sales, radio airplay, and streaming; Spotify Top 50 leans on global real-time streams; China Billboard Chinese Chart prioritizes Mandarin works via local streaming, radio, and physical sales.
These gaps blur "global popular music"’s definition: a Hot 100 hit may flop on Spotify globally, while a Spotify top track might underperform in China. They also fragment reach—U.S.-centric charts sideload Asian/African markets, and local charts limit non-local music’s global exposure, creating disjointed "global" trends instead of a unified one.
