5. I believe in transparency & dialog. That's why I discuss here before all is neatly resolved. I learned a lot from y'all tonight. Thanks.

4. Im not suggesting we'll discount credible views. I suspect (but wont know til AM) YouTube antispam tech will take care of playlisting.

3. I've been/remain a fan of gaga's. I have previously tweeted my affinity for Applause. None of this has anything to do w chart integrity.

2. By "playlisting" I mean a link to "watch" the same video 150 times: roughly 9 straight hours of the same vid.

1. It is fine to self-promote, send links to fans, etc. my objection is to playlisting. It seems some fans are unaware such a link was sent.

Just scrolled thru 100s of tweets. Most gaga fans have been more or less polite. Ill try to clear up a few questions, then I must sleep.

A personal fave: RT @RatchetMonster: @bwerde are you retarted

That's my point. RT @Anthagiox: @bwerde No, she deleted it because she realized it was a shitty link that cheated.

Just need to keep playlisted data off chart. Gaga fans sending me threats and profanity: don't you think this is why she deleted that link?

@BillWerde
I'm not suggesting these wouldn't count RT @LGMonsterFacts: Applause already had 12.5M views before Gaga even tweeted the link @bwerde

Sorry - not how majority consumes music RT @stefanijack: learn from the UK & get rid of all that petty shit & make charts 100% sales @bwerde

@BillWerde
Of course not RT @ItsMeDanielP_: @bwerde she's telling fans to watch her video/share it with friends. Is self promotion really a crime now?

I just hate to see anyone try to game the charts, be it fans or artists. It's not in the spirit of what we do, celebrating success.

Please keep this in context. Streaming is only a portion of Hot100 and surely overwhelming percent of views have been well-earned.

All credit & benefit of doubt that facebook/Twitter posts are down. Maybe it's true that a link was sent to 10s of millions with no look.

Tweeting that other artists game the system is like telling a cop other people were speeding. When we catch it we stop it.

@BillWerde
An artist tweeting out and facebooking a link that enables a fan to hit play and leave their computer is not in the spirit of what we chart.

We count multiple views per person. Go to Vevo and keep watching a video on your own and we count it.

It won't count. If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry. If it was a question in your mind, now you know. So disappointing.
