* presumably these are its all-time sales otherwise it'd be #3
great to see Meduza top 10 now and Avicii comfortably top 40.
Thought Senorita would have been top 10 considering how huge its been this summer!
It just hasn't been out long enough, these lists are extremely biased to earlier releases.
I hope '7 rings' can hold on until the end of the year! 'no tears left to cry' scraped 10th last year so it'd be cool for her to have another EOY top 10 song.
'Wow.' does not feel that big at all to me but yeah, early release bias of course.
What an awful list in general. Most of the ones I like are from last year.
Lol at Shotgun nearly in the Top 10.
it's a bit strange that Ed Sheeran's London is that low. I thought x-weeks @ #1 would fit top 20 at least.
The changed nature of the singles market these days means that any track released after the middle of the year doesn't really stand a chance of ending up as the top track of the year. And it would also struggle to get inside the end of year top 10 as all of the tracks in the above YTD list have passed 900,000 sales this year.
Woo Shallow top 20, even though it won't stay there.

I only like the ones above, what a terrible list!
It'd be nice if they did the list with just this year's releases on there. Also, the list feels very Q1 orientated.
^ That would defeat the object of the list, if you start excluding songs like Sweet But Psycho, and it'd still be Q1 oriented. It's just the reality of the streaming era that songs have a longer tail in their consumption than before. ACR masks this a bit in the weekly charts but doesn't apply here.
It's only logical that now when the availability isn't limited, there's nothing one can do about it and why should? If a song released in March is still popular in August, shouldn't it be doing well on countdown?
Wow awful list!
Then you can just take the older ones off from the list?
Although it is nice to see which songs are doing best, it's doesn't really make sense as some have been out for much longer than others.
I think it would be interesting to see a YTD list a year on, to see how it would differ.
Does anyone know the total for liar?
They’re just not interesting anymore. You look at an EOY year chart from any time before 2017 and it takes you right back to that year. Since then they’ve been a mess. I don’t think there’s any way to fix it.
