Nude reaches BillBoard Top 100 due to remix tracks

It is the first time since 1996′s High and Dry that a Radiohead single reaches the Billboard Top 100. We are talking about Nude single. But it is confirmed that the reason for Radiohead reaching the no 37 due to the sales of the individual tracks for vocals, bass, strings, drums etc. These sales are added to the mixed-together song sales. This is why the song reached no 37.

According to Idolator, which has access to Billboard numbers, this is absolutely true because if only the single was counting, the album would reach no97 or maybe it would miss the Top 100. Idolator’s Chris Molanphy says: “if the original song, sans stems, were to chart by itself, it would have made No. 96 on the digital sales chart and likely would have missed the Hot 100 entirely“.

But there is nothing unfair or wrong with this, and it is totally in agreement with Billboard‘s Policy!
