Default Fm vs spotify

Between FM radio in the u.s. and Spotify, which of the two will play more and new billboard music from the newest and most commercially successful artists around? Would billboard only chart artists that are played on FM radio or Spotify too? Who will prevail?

I haven't read Billboard in many years, so I don't know how they incorporate Spotify listens into their charts, though I would assume they do. Personally, I have no interest in most of the current commercially successful artists.

I think 'FM radio' can be limited and you'll always have commercials. Spotify has a Billboard Hot 100 playlist plus many features where you can get just what you want such as new releases. FM has superior sound quality if you are an audiophile type.

Great question so I asked that very question to my google machine.

The chart-making media company currently weights streams according to two categories — on-demand (Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube) and programmed (Pandora). Of these, the on-demand streaming services are weighted slightly higher. The Hot 100 includes video plays, while the Billboard 200 does not.

After looking at the current Hot 100, I wouldn't limit myself to just the artists appearing on the charts. There are lots of great artists that are really good but aren't promoted in the same way. This work out in your favor if you prefer seeing artists in small venues.
