I thought I'd do this for analytical purposes - basically the idea is a projection of what a songs sales will look like based on current figures for now to the end of the week, so we can get an estimate of where the song is projected to come in the chart
 Obviously there is a certain degree of inaccuracy to this as the sales of tracks are ever changing, and I'll be trying to make my formulas as accurate as possible as the weeks go on, but I'll do the best I can for now with the figures I have Here are the potential new entries this week and where they're currently predicted to come in the charts based on projected sales~ 28 | Ariana Grande ft Nicki Minaj - Side To Side ~ 7500 streams / 11650 sales = 19150 total 30 | offaiah - Trouble ~ 6000 streams / 10800 sales = 18000 total 32 | Ghost Cast - With You ~ 450 streams / 17500 sales = 17950 total (the total might look a bit high - there's another version in the top 100 right now, but I'd also like to note this track probably won't hold up these high sales all week.) 33 | Zara Larsson - Ain't My Fault ~ 5850 streams / 11025 sales = 16875 total 36 | Matoma & Becky Hill - False Alarm ~ 8100 streams / 8200 sales = 16300 total 41 | Mike Perry ft Shy Martin - The Ocean ~ 12320 streams / 2550 sales = 14870 total 30/42 | The Black Eyed Peas - #WHERESTHELOVE ~ 1000 streams / 13860 sales = 14860 total (around 17000 if the original is combined with it) 46 | Digital Farm Animals & Cash Cash ft Nelly - Millionaire ~ 7200 streams / 7100 sales = 14300 total 51 | DNCE - Toothbrush ~ 6500 streams / 5900 sales = 12400 total Remember, these are only estimations and the positions are based on the last few weeks' sales trends for certain positions. I'd take a guess and say that #WHERESTHELOVE and With You will NOT place anywhere near as high as this. Feel free to request any estimations

Could you guess what the top 5 (even the top 10!) might be, using your method, to guess what sales may be? It would be interesting to see how close they are to actual sales and positions on Friday?
As streaming seems to follow a certain pattern during the chart week I'd be interested to see if your formula works well for that? |

These look quite accurate so far I think, bar With You which will no doubt fall hugely by the end of the week! I'm sure you'll be able to fine-tune the formula over time as well

This actually makes me think if Let Me Love You could break the record for longest #2 of all time. The current top 2 look set in stone (in that order) for a good few weeks yet, the record is 7 consecutive weeks (All-4-One's I Swear) & 8 total week (Frank Chackfield's Terry's Theme).

It will be interesting to see if Olly can hold up but I expect he won't survive and we'll end up with a Drake song back :')

I'd probably assume he'll be between 9 and 11 on Friday with One Dance and between 10 and 12 with Too Good. |

I'm 99% sure we'll get at least one drake song in the top ten.

I feel like going to the bookies and putting a £1 bet on this being the top 10 on Friday... Olly Murs is the outsider but I believe he appeared on the first episode of the new series of "Strictly Come Dancing" so should get a boost in sales all through the week (I see he's at #3 on iTunes today).

Don't forget 'Moves Like Jagger', that also spent 7 consecutive weeks at number 2 too, back in 2011! (blimey, 5 years ago already  ) |

A fair % of his airplay audience was down to both Radio 1 and Radio 2 playing the track 20+ times each week for a while - which in turn shows how little influence Radio 1 can have on the charts these days... |

This is based on current trends - the figures are based on the basis that Olly Murs retains this momentum on iTunes. There's a chance he won't make the top 10 but if he carry's on at this sales level there is a very good chance he could keep selling enough to make the top 10

It probably means a lot less to somebody like Olly Murs, because he is so loved by UK radio that anything he releases is guaranteed to be a huge airplay hit, however appealing it is to a wider public. |

Oh, and I am slightly changing the streams-other-than-Spotify estimation based on the rolling 7 day total on Kworb and overall stream total given for Closer, this may make the predictions more accurate, but we'll have to see. |

Mine was based on a formula, remember
 my predictions weren't remotely based on personal opinion.

I've done some sales projections based on James' current figures for iTunes and Spotify, and if he continues to sell at this rate (considering he's likely sell more if he continues to grow at such an alarming rate on Spotify) he will comfortably be number two next week, as his sales are to be roughly 64,000 if he continues at this rate.
Calvin looks to enter around #6 at this point. |
