Answer:
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?
Because even though people live in the same city or state they may listen to different types of music so they would gather the information and see how many times songs were played and how many people listened to it
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?
I think this because Jukeboxes went out of style and many people stopped using them so there was not enough data to gather to count it as a criteria.
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?
I think that it is eternal because it is something that everyone feels and will always feel. It is Eternal. It will always be there. even after you have lost somone you love. It will always be there.
