Different chart. iTunes and AM top 100 are different. The iTunes Charts are for song sales past day and the barrier for top 100 or even 10 is incredibly low since everyone streams or buys physical now rather than individual songs on iTunes.

Thanks for clarifying

ETA: not #1 anymore but this definitely seems like a more believable one day change. Probably cheaper to buy your way into the top of a chart than actually produce a hit
