Adult R&B charts - I believe the charts should update with Adult R&B chart numbers because that chart is not an extension of the R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart. They measure radio play from two different formats. Adult R&B measures radio spins from adult contemporary. The R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart is based off of urban and urban adult contemporary, and measures overall impressions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:B470:FBB0:288D:272A:79AD:23BD (talk) 19:30, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That makes the "Adult R&B" a component of the main R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. You are only saying this because the song charted higher on Adult R&B. See WP:USCHARTSLil-Unique1 -{ Talk }- 20:33, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You obviously didn't read what was said. It's not an extension of the chart because they measure two different things: radio spins and overall impressions. I don't see why you think you have authority to continue undoing the edits if everyone else agrees that the chart is separate and relevant to the article. If that's the case you should be deleting that chart from every other article on this site. 15:45, 15 October 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:B470:FBB0:A8C4:9148:D610:C84E (talk)
I don't personally decide... the community does based on evidence. WP:OTHERSTUFF isn't a valid argument. We have a rule which is outlined at WP:USCHARTS. Also you've confused extension and component. There are two primary R&B/Hip-Hop Charts in the US: Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay. The table below explains the charts and how hey are calculated:
Table of explanation
Chart Methodology
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Is compiled the same way as the Hot 100, a mixture of "points" based on how a song is placed on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Downloads and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts. To be eligible for charting on any of these charts, a song has to be of the "R&B", "Hip-Hop" or "Rap" genres but can be played on any station
R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay Measures specific "R&B" and "Hip-Hop" songs played on radio stations for those genres.
The Adult R&B format is a subformat of R&B. Adult R&B stations form part of the methodology and tracking for the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart meaning that airplay from Adult R&B stations is already counted as part of the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. Hence this meets the criteria of a component chart. I, like any other member of the community, has the authority to implement our rules and guidelines as well as chart logic. ≫ Lil-Unique1 -{ Talk }- 22:00, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
