I’ve been looking at this and I’ve estimated the Top 50 for each chart this year without ACR and starring out.
I don’t have access to any information other than the OCC charts and what is on this board so some of it is guesswork (for example this week I’m somewhat guessing where Stupid Love would be) but hopefully I’m not too far off.
For ACR songs I’m doubling the estimated totals and taking off an allowance for paid for sales based on sales only positions.
The conclusion? ACR and artist limits are probably good things overall - I tend to think 5 would be a better limit than 3 as it would have avoided absurdities like Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi’s hits progressively starring and de-starring week on week a few months ago. I also think ACR could be phased in over, say,, 4 weeks to make chart runs look less ugly.

Thanks for this it’s so interesting how some songs would literally be in the chart for months and months if ACR didn’t exist.
The charts are odd these days, I’d say at least 50/60% is artificial and based on playlists on streaming sites etc...
It’s a shame it isn’t how it used to be as iTunes was literally built up of what people actually wanted to buy and consume rather than clicking into a predetermined playlist.
I guess it’s all just progression though, I wonder what’s next after streaming!
that's actually not far off what the actual non-ACR chart looks like! as we're not allowed to reveal that chart this will make a fine substitute for the forum, thanks for compiling.
the OCC don't make it public so we could get in trouble if we publicise it.
It would be interesting to see a full list of what would have been number 1 each week without ACR

blue = songs that gained #1 because another song / other songs were on ACR. The SCR #1 is listed in square brackets.
let’s take a moment to appreciate if only there was no christmas or acr Tones and I would’ve beaten Bryan Adams record
Interesting to see which hits never would've made #1. The likes of 'Feels', 'I'll Be There', 'Beautiful People' and 'River' have always felt a bit non #1 in today's sales climate. Also interesting that 'These Days' and 'Own It' never would have made #1 despite all the success they've had!
Also at Mariah being blocked multiple times.
let's also not forget that River would have missed the entire top 10 if all the Christmas classics weren't relegated to ACR, so in that sense it truly is the most baffling #1 hit of all time. (and that's before mentioning Alexa)
According to http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=229067, Dance Monkey "would have fallen to No. 3 anyway" even without ACR at the end of its 11 weeks at #1 - so Own It would still have outsold it as well as the Ladbaby song. I think it would have gone back ahead of them the following week though.
That moment when ACR rules have given Ed Sheeran 2 additional #1s that wouldn't have reached #1 otherwise.
If he was counting Mariah then Wham! would have counted too. I thought Own It would have been just ahead, it did over 67k that week whereas Dance Monkey did just under 35k but at least 3k of that would have been pure sales, so less than 67k if back on SCR. Anyway Ladbaby happened...
So the only single to date denied a peak of #1 because of the ACR rule is “All I Want for Christmas Is You”!!
Yes, and given why ACR was originally brought in, with 3 weeks of consistent decline needed, it shouldn't have prevented songs reaching #1.
The 3-year rule (which keeps older songs on permanent ACR that can't be reset) has prevented many Christmas songs from higher peaks, plus a few others (e.g. Thiago Silva, Aretha's You Make Me Feel...) - however the only songs I can only think of which weren't subjected to this rule and would have peaked higher if ACR didn't exist at all (not to be confused with 'if they had stayed on SCR a bit longer') are: The Greatest Show (peak #20, without ACR somewhere around #14 the following January) and Late Night Feelings (peak #30, without ACR somewhere around #24 when the album came out).
Close to Me by Ellie Goulding and Ocean by Martin Garrix would also have peaked a little higher!
Update for week ending 18/6
Note that for a few older songs I don’t really know where they’d have peaked under this chart as I haven’t rolled it far back enough yet.
ACR does spare us some older re-entries, though ironically it’s also boosting Perfect, which on a level playing field would be nowhere near even the Top 50.
The poor week of streaming has given a slight boost to some more sales heavy songs like Memories.

Update for week ending 25/6:
I reckon this would be Blinding lights’ 21st straight week in the Top 3 and Dance monkey’s 40th straight week in the Top 20.
There wouldn’t be 2 good dance tracks climbing into the Top 10 - in fact the Top 10 would be the same 10 tracks as last week.
There would be an Ed Sheeran song hanging around the 40s but it would be I don’t care instead of Perfect.

Strange to see that Death Bed, with all its weeks in the Top 5 officially, would have peaked at #6 - means Dance Monkey would have been Top 5 as recently as last month!
Also that Blueberry Faygo would still have managed a Top 10 peak, but Intentions wouldn't despite its 6 weeks there officially.
Update for Week Ending 2/7:
I still think Blinding Lights would be #3 and not far off #2.
By my estimates Don’t Need Love and Watermelon Sugar would be entering the Top 10 but frustratingly Secrets would be #11 again, fewer than 100 sales behind #9.

Breaking Me still being behind Blinding Lights would be frustrating but that's probably just about true for last week.
I actually think Roses would still have been at least #9. It was #7 on audio, #21 on sales and #12 on video, whereas Savage was #10, #19 and #24 respectively - so that would leave Don't Need Love with an #11 peak.
Goes to show that generally the chart looks a lot better with ACR.
So 'Toosie Slide' only got its week at #1 because of ACR? Damn.
Update for week ending 9/7:
Secrets finally gets Top 10 and I also have This City going Top 20 for the first time.
Mr Brightside is very close to the Top 50 as well as Perfect - please can there be more new material soon.

A full half year in the Top 5 for Blinding Lights now.
Juice Wrld would have been denied a Top 10 and Dinner Guest would have been knocked out - I make it 5 extra weeks in the Top 10 that has gained due to ACR now.

Thanks for putting these together, I've often wondered what the chart would look like without ACR. May be a stupid question, but are the peaks in brackets what that song achieved without ACR?
I do really kind of wish ACR didn't exist, as slow as the chart would be at least it would be organic. That said, not sure what I would have thought about Mariah being no1 each December.
Ah ok thank you for clarifying that.
Yeah I get what you mean, I was just starting to get my head around the chart at the start of 2017 and then they brought in ACR which I think creates this faux view of things and hasn't really solved the problem of a slow chart. That said, Ed's domination was rather ridiculous when Divide came out but I think they could have amended that rule to be all official singles and the top streamed album being allowed to chart would have been a better middle ground scenario.
Out of interest, how long would Gaga's Stupid Love have remained in the top 40 for? I'm guessing even without ACR it would have dropped out before Chromatica was released. Also I'm sure the Weekend would have broken a weeks in the top 10 record by now.
Bear in mind that record, in a world without ACR, would have gone to Someone You Loved with a huge 51 non-consecutive weeks in the top 10 - 43 consecutive and only kicked out due to Christmas...!
Update for week ending 6 August:
Well Taylor would have had around 12 in the Top 50 with a level playing field, but only 1 in the Top 10, so the ACR rules helped her while the 3 artist cap stopped her dominating.
I’m still not convinced the artist cap is really necessary. The odd mid table hit peaking this week (possibly Little Mix) would have peaked lower without it but it’s mainly old songs on their way down that benefit from it.

That would have seen Blinding Lights end a run of 27 consecutive weeks in the Top 5 - a week short of the all-time record (Frankie Laine - I Believe). Nothing has come close to that officially, and even in this ACR-free chart I think Someone You Loved would be next nearest with 22 in a row.
I'm not keen on the 3-track rule either, but I suppose the OCC had to do something after the Divide and More Life releases in 2017 meant Ed Sheeran and Drake tracks took up 23 places in the Top 40 one week.
I think this is a brilliant topic. I think ACR has ruined the charts in my opinion.
Update for week ending 13 August:
Lots of climbers due to the Taylor exodus.
Billie Eilish made the official Top 10 but I reckon there would have been no fewer than 5 ACR songs ahead.
Khaled and Brown wouldn’t be Top 10 yet either.
Harry would have made a new peak but still not Top 5.
I think Breaking Me would be matching its peak from June, which suggests its consignment to ACR was somewhat premature.

I do wish Mr Masterton would provide a few more sales...

Thanks for continuing to do these, I actually prefer seeing this chart, even if it is slow moving, over the fake ACR one. Interesting how Taylor dominated in the top 10 more due to ACR, but where I do sort of agree with the OCC is having that track limit in the top 40 as otherwise it does look stupid. That said I don't think official singles should be counted in the three track rule.
Update for week ending 27 August:
WAP would have made Number 2 even without Savage Love’s ACR demise, though the latter would have been ahead for much of the week. Still no Top 3 spot for Lighter though.
Mood swings now a bona fide Top 10, but poor Greece still wouldn’t have made it despite its solid official run at 8/9.
Rockstar exits the Top 3 after 14 weeks and Blinding Lights the Top 10 after 32 weeks.
Interestingly Dua would have had 4 songs doing similar numbers this week - I reckon 2 would
have been just inside the Top 50 and 2 just outside.

I reckon Dance Monkey would have just clung on for a 50th straight week in the Top 20, which would have been quite some record (I don’t think Someone You Loved quite managed that due to Christmas).

Fortunately, it turns out that Dance Monkey would have been kicked out of the top 20 this week!
Update for week ending 10 September:
Nathan Dawe is in the “true” Top 3 for the first time.
Every single one of Watermelon Sugar’s 11 official Top 10 weeks have also been in the “true” Top 10 (though it has never made this Top 5). By contrast all of Greece’s 6 official weeks have been gains due to ACR.

Update for week ending 17 September:
I must admit that this week’s chart does make quite a good case for ACR. 2 great songs entering the official Top 10, whereas without ACR I reckon the only thing entering the Top 10 would be... Blinding Lights. And still no “true” Top 10 placing for Greece despite 7 official weeks.

So 'Lasting Lover' which enters top 40 comfortably at #27 this week might have missed out without ACR and 'Obey' instead of becoming top 40 hit for BMTH wouldn't even make top 50. Seeing this really makes me appreciate ACR more. Although I get irritated by all those unnatural chart runs like e.g. 'Rain On Me' spending 9 weeks in top 4 and then dropping to 21 out of the blue or 'God's Plan' having 9 consecutive weeks at number 1 and then suddenly dropping to number 10 because they all look just very weird. But seeing this slow moving chart without ACR would've been much more painful
I think I Don’t Care was the worse example of this, which was also down to the 3 track per artist rule.
Think it was 1 (x8) - 2 - OUT - 4 which is just ridiculous
Interesting, 'Looking For Me' being a top 10 hit felt so unlike 2020 (more like 2014/early 2015) and ACR exodus-fueled that I'd have guessed it would be further off than #11.
Also interesting that you have the official chart's #34, which is on SCR ('Only You Freestyle') and #74, which is on ACR ('Flowers') level with each other, so if 'Perfect' (#94) had remained on SCR it might've only been up for the high 40s or so.
When it comes to 3 track rule i also remember Ed's song with 50 Cent and Eminem from No. 6 Collaborations Project which was new entry at #3 on monday's update and was announced as number one on week's trending chart by OCC but ended out of top 100 on friday because it was overtaken by other album track. That was ridiculous to see.
I think Perfect would’ve been mid 40’s. Probably #44 or #45
Another example I remember is Drake's "Emotionless" debuting and number 4 which ended up being its only week in top 100.
ACR is absolutely needed in some form I just wish it was a bit more incremental, though after 3 years I've got a bit used to the big unnatural drops.
and I think some re-jigging needs to be done to the rules to prevent more 'The City' and 'Flowers' cases of songs lingering in the top 40 for far longer than they should cos they randomly spike a little bit long after they've peaked.
I'd also suggest that if a song is ever in the top 3 of an artist cap it doesn't get starred out later to stop another ridiculous case of 1-2-xx-4, until it is moved onto ACR (though I appreciate we've had very few of those in the top regions)
Update for week ending 24 September:
It would have been a close three way battle at the top this week without Head & heart being on ACR; I think Mood might have just scraped No 2.

Thanks, I was just wondering where Dreams would be without ACR. Maybe it would even have a chance of getting new peak this week.
The big question for this week is whether Dreams would have achieved a new peak without ACR. I think probably yes but only narrowly as I have it at #23, but it would be great if someone in the know could confirm its exact position! Of course if the existing rules were retained but Dreams had been given a re-set it would have made the Top 20.
Otherwise it’s the first time for nearly 2 years (since Shallow) that no song has done more than 50k. (There were a couple of weeks earlier this year when the official #1 did less than 50k but Blinding Lights was >50k SCR equivalent in those weeks.) Yet overall consumption remains healthy at 21M. I assuming that the pandemic is leading to people switching away from what is current to whatever they feel like listening to, which is no bad thing.

chart mod here you're right about Dreams, it would be sitting at #23 this week.
Headie One would also have 'Bumpy Ride' top 40 alongside his 3 actual eligible songs.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think this is the first time outside Christmas that the official #1 has been as low as #3 on the “true” chart.
I think Dreams might have climbed to another new peak this week but still be just shy of the Top 20. Dan are you able to confirm?

Update for week ending 5 November:
Little Mix would still be without a Top 10 hit this year as it stands as I believe Break Up Song peaked at #12.
Assuming I’m right that Intentions peaked at #11 on the old rules Bieber would potentially have two consecutive #11 hits.
Dance Monkey would I think be on 61 consecutive weeks in the Top 40 so would have convincingly broken that record.
Someone You Loved would have a staggering 90 weeks but not consecutive.
I suspect they will both be knocked out, at least temporarily, as next week will bring a grande clear out.

Might have to ask for a recount on Someone You Loved being out of the Top 40 pretty sure it would be above some of the Ariana tracks above it here, still it's had a good run (or second run after dropping out for a week last Christmas).
fyi - Ghostbusters would actually have re-entered the top 40. SYL would indeed have dropped out too.

Mariah already scarily high and with sales so low at the top it seems highly likely that she will reach Number 1 again on this level playing field chart, however unfavourably the dates have fallen.

Update for week ending 3 December:
ACR has saved the official chart from being ridiculously Christmassy in November. Without ACR none of the three official Top 10
new entries would have come even close, and other non Christmas songs would be way down the list. For example I don’t think Golden, the official #27, would even be Top 50.
I believe it would be a record for the lowest sales at both numbers 1 and 2 (Ariana with 42.9k and Mariah with 36.4k) since video streaming was introduced. The market is still perfectly healthy but with a much flatter distribution - Lewis is on about 14k so the #1 is only 3x the #50.

Seeing Mariah posting incredibly high Spotify streams already this week, but still falling just short of double those of 'positions', makes me realise just how brutal ACR can be, and how hard it is to get to #1 on ACR in an increasingly stream-heavy age. When Despacito and 3 Lions did so, their pure sales were much higher and these weren't affected:
Despacito's 1st week at #1 on ACR (2017)
52,387 (21,309 SES, 31,078 pure sales)
17% ahead of Wild Thoughts at #2 (44,810)
if on SCR, would be 73,696 (64% ahead)
Despacito's 2nd week at #1 on ACR (2017)
40,891 (18,759 SES, 22,132 pure sales)
5.9% ahead of Wild Thoughts at #2 (38,601)
if on SCR, would be 59,650 (55% ahead)
3 Lions' week at #1 on ACR (2018)
79,779 (36,410 SES, 43,369 pure sales)
4.6% ahead of Shotgun at #2 (76,253)
if on SCR, would be 116,189 (52% ahead)
Contrast to Mariah's 2 weeks at #2 on ACR:
AIWFCIY's 1st week at #2 on ACR (2018)
65,004 (61,794 SES, 3,210 pure sales)
0.23% behind Sweet but Psycho at #1 (65,156)
if on SCR, would be 126,798 (95% ahead)
AIWFCIY's 2nd week at #2 on ACR (2019)
74,076 (70,623 SES, 3,453 pure sales)
5.3% behind River at #1 (78,193)
if on SCR, would be 144,699 (85% ahead)
Update for week ending 10 December:
Mariah would have done around 70k (the highest #1 since Head & Heart in August) and Wham! around 63k (the highest #2 since Blinding Lights and Roses were fighting it out in April).
I believe there would have been 12 Christmas songs in the Top 13, with Positions dropping all the way to #8 and not even being Ariana’s most consumed song of the week. One place above it I have Santa Tell Me reaching a new peak of #7. There would be other Christmas songs reaching new peaks, notably Bublé at #4 and Kelly at #11. And this week is set to be even crazier!

In an ACR-free world, Last Christmas would already be on a record 9th week at #2 without reaching #1! Probably due a 10th this Friday and maybe more after that too. Mariah's song would be on its 4th different run at #1 (something Blinding Lights also would have done) and, going by Joseph's post and the end of p2 plus your placements since, Someone You Loved would have just dropped out of the top 50 after 98 consecutive weeks.
I haven't seen what Mariah's exact SCR total would be this week, but 70k would put her 82% ahead of 'positions', so still a considerably bigger margin than Despacito and 3 Lions had (looks like she'll be joining that exclusive club anyway...)
Update for week ending 17 December:
The Christmas songs were dominant enough in the official chart - without ACR they would almost monopolise the Top 20.
Mariah’s 85k is the highest #1 sale since No Time to Die. I think every other position would be seeing it’s highest sale since last Christmas, including Wham!’s 78k at #2. There’d also be several other new peaks for Christmas songs.

Think I missed out one of the #2 weeks for Wham! in last week's tally - this week would be the 11th: 5 on original release, 1 in 2017, 1 in 2018, 2 last year (forgot the Christmas chart where they would have been #2 behind Ladbaby but ahead of Mariah), and 2 so far this year. With yet another on the way.
I think Step Into Christmas would have a #6 peak from last year. Although I hadn't considered that Santa Tell Me might be ahead of it this week once streams were doubled.
mod intervention
Kelly still wouldn't be top 10 under Old Rules (just missing out to Chris Rea), and Elton would be just ahead of Ariana.
great work as ever though, I couldn't estimate it this accurately!
Update for week ending 24 December:
Taylor’s impact would have been much more muted than with Folklore, mainly due to the very high bar at the moment (I make it 46k for the Top 10 and over 21k for the Top 40). In fact the chart rules were her friend as it looks like she’s only have had 3 in the Top 40 anyway and they would have placed massively lower, with Willow being #17 according to my estimates.

Update for week ending 31/12/20:
Lad Baby would still have made it despite Mariah and Wham! both being in 6 figures. I'’m estimating 113k for Mariah and 108k for Wham! I think Blinding Lights would not quite have managed to spend the whole year in the Top 40 but would still be Top 50.
Obviously Jess and Bieber's Rocking Around (as well as the Kunts) benefitted heavily from ACR rules this week. Without most of the competition being on ACR the whole Amazon exclusive project wouldn'’t really work.
However ironically the song Bieber probably wanted to get the attention was instead hurt by ACR, without which it would have been comfortably Top 40.

Thanks for this, interesting to see as with every week, but with so much of the chart on ACR at the moment it really does alter the picture!
I'd be surprised if Holy would be that much higher in this chart - difficult to tell with so few sales figures available of course, but with its streams being relatively low still (audio streaming up from #99 to #82 this week) I think it could get leapfrogged by a few more ACR songs which are lower officially (perhaps even Head & Heart which is #44 on streaming and #60 officially) if all their streaming totals were doubled.

Update for week ending 14/1:
So Little Mix’s #1 was genuine but with the lowest sale since the current chart ratios were established by a very long way.
Blinding lights would be claiming its 23rd week in the Top 3 (!) and would be joined in the Top 10 by a few other popular oldies, meaning that all the official #6-10 would have missed out. Bieber would be back in the Top 10 for the first time since Stuck With U I believe, as I think Holy stalled at 11 and his Christmas offering would not have made it.

Random question and I thought this was the most appropriate thread to post it on, does anyone know since the ACR rule was introduced in 2017, which song has spent the most weeks in the chart on SCR and the most weeks on ACR? I have a scary feeling the answer to both those questions is Perfect
SCR - Perfect by some distance, I believe it's had 48 weeks since the ACR rule came in, including 32 last year
ACR - Shotgun has had 94 weeks in the Top 100 (all except its first 24 and 3 weeks early last year), but I think Perfect is on 90 so will almost certainly overtake.

Looks like Mr Brightside will have to wait to follow Perfect, Baby Shark and now Shallow into the lower rungs here, with the Fredo album bomb coming.
Update for week ending 11/2:
Shane Codd would actually be hitting the Top 10 for the first time.
I included Mr Brightside at #50 just for Jim. Clearly the evergreen old songs like that, Perfect and Shallow are all riding high at the moment, maybe another sign of the evolving streaming demographic. As for why Baby Shark’s there, I haven’t a clue.

Baby Shark is, of course apart from being the genius evergreen, listened by parents and their kids and mostly on Youtube (where the kids are more than other streaming services)
schools being closed probably is giving Baby Shark a bit of a boost as kids who'd otherwise be too preoccupied now get to entertain themselves with watching the video (or parents sticking it on for them to shut them up)
Haha, well the Fredo album tracks didn't do much in the end, and Mr Brightside is at its highest position officially since just after The Killers played Glastonbury (what's a festival? ) so I guess it's the same here.
Surprised that Baby Shark would have only peaked at #14, but it makes sense with everything else in the chart that week.
Update for week ending 18/2:
Looks like oldies and low sales within the chart are here to stay.
Sweet Melody could have its YTD #2 taken soon by... Blinding Lights.

'willow' peaking as low as #17 is one of the most surprising markdowns by removing ACR of recent times, even after remembering when it was released.
I've lost count of how many weeks Blinding Lights would have had in the top 10 by now, but it must be getting somewhere near the 51 managed by Someone You Loved (going by Joseph's post earlier in this thread).

Update for week ending 18/3:
Blinding Lights would be ending its run in the Top 10, maybe or maybe not for good, which totalled 42 weeks. That’s trounced Dance Monkey’s 35 but hasn’t threatened Someone You Loved’s 51. I make it 105 weeks in the Top 40 in total for the latter now!
This is also the first time since 2019 that this Top 10 and the official one have matched. Enjoy it as it clearly won’t last.
For anyone interested in the YTD singles, Wellerman is making big gains and I believe is now up to #4 behind DL, WY and BL.

Think by now it's safe to say 'drivers license' is the first 8+ week #1 of the ACR era not to lose any further weeks at #1 because of it.
I don’t like the idea of Number 1 runs being curtailed by ACR generally - maybe they should add a rule that a song can’t move from SCR to ACR when it’s at its peak position.
Update for week ending 8 April:
Tom Grennan would be missing the top 10. Someone You Loved looks like it will drop out of the top 40 “normally” for the first time next week - not because of Christmas songs or a big album drop.

I make that 107 weeks in this top 40 for Someone You Loved? Over two years' worth anyway. Although, as with its consecutive weeks records in the official chart, there's every chance that Blinding Lights will outdo that.
More movement than usual this week. Blinding Lights out of the Top 20 after around 60 weeks; Dance Monkey out of the Top 40 after 77 weeks.

Update for week ending 29 April:
I do think Levitating would just about be getting a new peak this week (#9 vs #10 reached in January). Of course it did very well out of ACR to make #5 officially back then though.

There's every chance Save Your Tears will improve on its unofficial #13 peak next week. It should overtake Blinding Lights for the first time anyway!
Update for week ending 6 May:
Levitating would have had a re-set if its boost had come entirely within one week instead of being spread over several.
#11 official vs #5 true peak is unprecedented and pretty savage for Save Your Tears, but perhaps it will partly remedy that next week.

Levitating peaking with its highest weekly sale to date. Save Your Tears would have stayed top 10 after all though it was only 100 ahead of 11.

Levitating reaching its peak without ACR in its 32nd consecutive week in the chart may well have been unprecedented. The only song to peak later in a continuous official chart run (going by fchd's list last week) is Portugal The Man - Feel It Still which peaked in its 33rd (all of those on SCR), however if ACR hadn't existed it surely would have had that run broken by Christmas songs when it fell to #89 officially.
If the 3-track rule didn't exist either, a few other songs might have had a similarly long continuous chart run to their peak. Bruises and Watermelon Sugar spring to mind, but perhaps none would have matched some of The Greatest Showman tracks, most likely The Greatest Show and A Million Dreams which I'd estimate to have peaked around #14 and #19 in January 2019 (while #25 and #30 officially), a full year after they'd have first charted. As the latter didn't reach the Top 20 officially, it could also claim to be the most significant casualty of ACR which had nothing to do with the 3-track rule or 3-year rule at the time - and reclaim it this week now that Save Your Tears is officially a Top 5 hit.
Following my previous message, I checked the Audio Streaming chart runs of the songs I mentioned and a few others. By my reckoning, Levitating has reached its peak in a record 32nd consecutive week in the top 75, beating the 30 weeks Bruises took to get there, although a few songs had longer unbroken runs in the top 100 before peaking, with The Greatest Show doing so in a record 53rd week:
The Greatest Show: 53 weeks (w/e 11/1/18 - 10/1/19)
84-34-28-27-26-25-26-26-31-31-25-30-35-30-27-37-64-53-54-52-36-32-41-40-45-54-75-70-59-50-54-66-54-64-54-71-70-69-69-74-70-70-75-73-70-73-65-72-80-55-59-67-14
A Million Dreams: 52 weeks (w/e 18/1/18 - 10/1/19)
47-40-37-35-34-36-34-36-36-34-40-41-41-39-50-83-63-69-69-52-49-57-54-57-67-81-81-68-55-59-77-61-78-67-82-84-82-85-89-84-86-88-81-80-81-74-80-92-71-66-77-20
Perfect: 40 weeks (w/e 16/3/17 - 14/12/17)
5-5-7-9-15-20-25-30-33-36-41-46-54-57-62-65-56-58-57-58-68-57-61-64-68-72-74-70-81-42-24-22-20-18-13-11-6-8-7-1
Levitating: 32 weeks (w/e 15/10/20 - 20/5/21)
55-32-23-22-16-14-11-13-33-39-42-55-51-12-14-13-14-19-21-23-21-19-23-20-21-17-13-14-8-9-8-4
Bruises: 32 weeks (w/e 25/4/19 - 28/11/19)
92-97-74-51-57-11-16-15-15-17-30-34-36-51-53-55-57-51-48-66-59-68-63-57-18-24-21-12-15-11-10-7
In this combined chart with no ACR or 3-track rule, I think each of Levitating, Perfect and The Greatest Show would have stayed in the top 75 throughout the same weeks. The latter would have been joined by A Million Dreams and perhaps also Never Enough, which peaked on audio streaming (#33; I'd estimate low top 30 combined) in the same week as those two, in peaking in their 53rd consecutive week in the old rules top 100.
Update for week ending 27 May:
I make it yet another new peak for Levitating! Still just below it’s official peak though, and surely it can’t go any higher?
J Cole making a decent splash, but next week will likely be carnage with Olivia.

8 new or re-entries on the non ACR chart is pretty rare in these times isn't it?
Update for week ending June 3:
This is surely the biggest album bomb so far this decade, and that coupled with a big ACR clear out means that the official chart is more distorted than it has been for a long time. Galantis and Mimi Webb would be nowhere near the Top 10 (with the latter not even getting a new peak), Måneskin a full 20 places lower and Anne-Marie and Niall missing the Top 40 entirely.

Levitating again going by this thread, if it had got a reset to SCR at the end of April (the week it just fell short with a 21.8% increase), it would now have made #5 for a third time in its current chart run, leaving the Top 40 between each:

Lorde's Green Light debuted at #28 in an equivalent chart to this one (no ACR or 3-track rule) in the same week as all the album tracks from Ed Sheeran's Divide. Had those rules been in place, it probably would have debuted at #14 (with 13 Divide tracks starred out and You Don't Know Me being on ACR) - either way, a few places higher than where Solar Power is this week.

‘Didn’t Know’ only peaking 26 on old rules compared to 14 on current rules is a massive difference especially as it has 6 weeks in official top 20. ‘Dumb love’ also has a big discrepancy (24 old rules 12 current rules)

Seeing this makes me realise how Mr Brightside makes it in to the Year End Top 50. It's at No 46 on the most recent update that was aired on MTV last Saturday
I think either someone very bored is holding down the refresh button with this thread open or it's attracting a lot of 'views' from bots for some reason... (as it's apparently gained another 7k views in the last 13 days)
Update for week ending 2 September:
Shout out this week to Heat Waves - its 17 week official Top 40 run only peaking at #19 was quite impressive but it’s had a long 2nd wind which has been lost to ACR. I make it 28 weeks in this Top 40 now but peaking at a lowly #24, which must surely be unprecedented.

Update for week ending 2 September:
I place Heat Waves at #23, which would give it a peak equal to its year to date position.
Talk About would be frustratingly stalling at #11.
Next week will be carnage - will Blinding Lights leave the Top 50 after 88 straight weeks?

Update for week ending 16 September:
Well as an ABBA fan I’ve never been so pleased about ACR and the 3 track rule - Don’t Shut Me Down absolutely needed both to make the Top 10. Drake would have most of the Top 10 and nearly half the Top 40 thanks to what are obviously largely album streams.

Update for week ending 30 September:
There’s been talk about the possibility of Ed breaking Bryan Adams’ record for the uninterrupted spell at #1 by a single artist - but without ACR he’d still have a chance to do it with a single song. Bad Habits would be comfortably spending a 13th week at the top and with sales dropping away very slowly.
Heat Waves would have taken even longer to reach the Top 10, finally making it this week.

Update for week ending 7 October:
The Ed songs have swapped places so Bad Habits wouldn’t be breaking Bryan Adams’ record, although will still be interesting
to see if anything other than Ed himself can move ahead of it before Week 17. Bad Habits is now just a few k behind Good 4 U in total and in fact could overtake both Olivia songs this week.
Ed and Dua closed the gap on Stay, which is still going strong after 12 weeks and would very much have been the biggest hit of the last few months without Ed.
Perfect doing ridiculously well - ironic that when it was in the official top 40 last year it was nowhere near the true top 40, and now that it’s in the true top 40 it’s starred out. Both that and Mr Brightside are closing in on the year to date top 40.

Ugh at Perfect getting such a big boost from the release of new Ed material, but at least it won't be re-entering the official chart for a long time.
Good to see Shivers cementing itself as a proper number one anyhow and My Heart Goes making the top 20.
We haven't had a year-end #1 released so late since Eminem - Love the Way You Lie.

The absolute latest in recent times was at the peak of X Factor, "Hallelujah" by Alexandra Burke (17 December 2008) which had a mammoth first week sale (576k) [alongside a big second week to give it the EOY #1 spot]
Realised Dan G posted the answer - Alexandra Burke
oh right I was going off wikipedia for that one. should’ve double checked.

Definitely prefer the ACR chart for this week with The Anxiety breaking top 20.
Seeing if you really love me so low is definitely a blessing I wish carried into the actual chart
I’m wondering if there’s any chance that when Visiting Hours ends up on ACR, it drops behind Perfect again
Haha I can already imagine it. 'Perfect' casually sneaking back in for one more week before the new album arrives just for lolz.
Update for week ending 28 October:
Difficult to say exactly where the starred out Adele tracks would have landed, but it would have looked something like this. In particular it would be great if a mod could confirm the position for the previously uncharted Love in the Dark, which I have just missing the Top 20. EDIT: thanks Dan for confirming it would in fact have made #20!

Update for week ending 11 November:
Well there would certainly be a big Ed splash in the Top 40, but not so much in the Top 10 or 20. Divide managed to take 9 of the Top 10 and No 6 would have managed 8. This time only the 4 singles would have been that high; I reckon Visiting Hours would have just squeezed back in.

Yes - didn't all 16 of Ed's track from 'Divide' make the top 20 and now just 5 from 'Equals'. Sadly two of the best tracks - the closers 'Sandman' and 'Be Right Now' wouldn't even had made the top 50.
Update for week ending 18 November:
Ed’s non singles from Equals falling away sharply and Perfect rebounding above all of them

It can't have been far behind Cold Heart, but even at #6, My Little Love appears to be the highest placed song in this chart which is unlikely to chart officially in any week (as it's not exactly future single material). Way 2 Sexy also reached #6 here while starred out, but of course charted officially the following week.
Remember The Name was, like My Little Love, starred out from #5, but I think it would have been #7 in this chart behind Old Town Road as well as I Don't Care (which had an unbeatable #1 placing for a starred out song in this chart from that week).
Strange to think Mariah was #2 on this chart the same week last year - even if there wasn't an Adele album bomb then.
Update for week ending 9 December:
So here’s the counter-balance to the Top 40 without Christmas songs - let’s take a moment to remember how much worse it would be if everything were on a level playing field. Below EOM the Top 10 would be entirely Christmas songs and old former #1s, with Gayle at #12!

As revealed in the sales commentary Merry Christmas would only be #3 - but the highest non Christmas song would be tumbling to #8.
#7 is a new peak for Brenda Lee and Sia’s Snowman would be entering the Top 40 for the first time. What a shame that it only became popular after hitting permanent ACR.

Wham! have the honour of losing a week at #1 to ACR for the first time. Mariah had 4 of those before her 2 weeks at #1 officially, so leads 6-2 on that score.
Brenda Lee's song peaked at #6 in 1962 so that hasn't been bettered in this era (yet)!
‘Twas the week before Christmas and all through the chart not a thing was happening. Well a few new peaks for old Christmas songs. Brenda Lee equalling her peak from 59 years ago (thanks for the correction Jim) and new peaks for Andy Williams, Bobby Helms, Sia and Sinatra reaching the Top 40 for the first time with Let It Snow x3. That’s the only song that has 2 versions so high, and indeed they’re quite different but both good.

I'm not sure whether Heat Waves has equalled its #7 peak without ACR this week, but on the Audio Streaming chart it has equalled its #6 peak in its 50th consecutive week in the top 75 / 49th consecutive week in the top 50, after having originally peaked in its 37th / 36th - all records as far as I can tell:
Heat Waves: 53 weeks (w/e 14/1/21 - 13/1/22)
99-82-80-63-47-35-38-32-28-29-29-28-31-26-28-28-25-25-24-33-39-36-38-34-37-36-35-44-33-36-29-32-35-36-18-18-9-7-8-6-6-7-7-8-9-8-22-25-31-39-47-49-6
For the Audio Streaming top 100, The Greatest Show peaked on its 53rd consecutive week as mentioned on page 7, but the latest I've found a song equalling its peak in a continuous run is Ed Sheeran - Photograph at 55 weeks:

Heat Waves is #8 on Old Rules this week, which means it'd be #5 if it had got a reset.
Thanks Dan. Going by the regular automatic reset rules, as per the list Joseph posted in the chart show thread, Easy On Me wouldn't have had a reset but Heat Waves would have - in which case it would have had a new peak of #4.
(but I won't be starting an 'Estimated chart with old ACR rules' thread - yet)
Update for week ending 13 January:
Outside the much discussed top 2 and only few thousand behind Shivers, Bad Habits would be notching up its 22nd week in the top 5. Blinding Lights is on 91 weeks in the top 40 now by my reckoning. Mr Brightside must be at its highest position for a very long time.

I’ve resurrected my ChartsPlus subscription which includes the YTD top 100. This week the YTD chart is exactly the same as the old rules chart, and therefore I’ve amended the above so that for one week only it’s 100% accurate.
Interesting bits further down:
The official #40, “I hate u” by SZA, is only #87 on Old Rules.
Adele has 5 songs in the Top 100 but only 3 current ones, the other 2 being “Someone like you” at #73 and “Rolling in the deep” at #82.
Ed has 9 songs in the Top 100, none of which are the single he’s apparently about to push:
1 Shivers
4 Bad habits
15 Overpass graffiti
40 Perfect
59 Shape of you
74 Merry Christmas
75 Visiting hours
85 Thinking out loud
97 Castle on the hill
I thought Own It would have been just ahead, it did over 67k that week whereas Dance Monkey did just under 35k but at least 3k of that would have been pure sales, so less than 67k if back on SCR. Anyway Ladbaby happened...
Update for week ending 20 January:
Shivers is knocked off #1 by Abcdefu but remains the #1 of the 2 week old year. The Weeknd would have 7 in the Top 40 including 2 oldies.

Interesting as ever thanks for this! Would that not have been a first appearance in the top 40 for the latter two meat loaf songs?
Edit: I’ve just looked, you’re right. I never realised they’d both been top 40 before.
Paradise By The Dashboard Light which had never officially charted would have been top 75 at least.
‘Shivers’ doing well still!
PBTDL it seems would’ve been top 40, and one spot ahead of 2OO3AB - it having lower downloads sales meant it ended up getting starred out in the official chart.
Apologies - I completely missed considering PBTDL. I think what threw me was that I was looking for Meatloaf songs below TOOTAB on the Audio Streaming chart when in fact it was above! I’ve put it in one place above the latter as per Dan’s steer.

Anyone know why the 2 Lil Nas X songs climbed back into the top 50?
seems to be TikTok related (as almost anything is), as per Bre's post in Top 100s thread (re:TWIW but I guess it would've had knock-on effect for IB)

Interesting 'Overseas' which was the 2nd biggest Spotify track of the week is at 13 on the non ACR chart and 'Heatwaves' at no.4 om Spotify is at 16. Shows that it's not as dominant as it was.
I think it would have been quite close between 7-16, but Overseas and Heat Waves seem to have disproportionately high levels of free streams which are counted at a much lower ratio.
Yeah I estimate about 3k between Easy On Me at 8 and Heat Waves at 16.
I think Jim’s point about free stream proportions being higher for some songs and Smint’s point about Spotify being slightly less dominant are both true.

Gotta thank ACR and We Don't Talk About Bruno for preventing 3 consecutive Ed Sheeran number 1's
Won't ACR help Ed Sheeran get more no.1s than lose them? 'Merry Christmas' and 'Peru' (if it gets there) are assisted by ACR.
^ Plus of course there’s “Own It” would have been completely blocked by “Dance Monkey”.
Beautiful People also only got to #1 because I Don't Care was on ACR that week.
Ha ha people complain about Ed now but the era with 'I Don't Care' and 'Beautiful People' was truly horrific.

So Ed Sheeran has fewer current top 40 hits in this chart than the official one. Looks like Overpass Graffiti will be staying ahead of Perfect for a while and return to the chart soon after all.
Good to see some sales/estimates. Surprised SGU is only 10th for the year after all those weeks in the Top 10, but that's the illusion of ACR.
with three quarters of the year left I guess Peru could overtake Bruno for the year-end chart then? though I suspect we haven't heard the year's EOY #1 yet.
The EOY #1 is out on Friday, step forward Harry Styles xx

It must have been close between 6-11 here. On the Audio Streaming chart, Heat Waves has equalled its #6 peak on its 65th consecutive week in the top 100, the last 61 of which have all been in the top 50:
Heat Waves: 65 weeks (w/e 14/1/21 - 7/4/22)
99-82-80-63-47-35-38-32-28-29-29-28-31-26-28-28-25-25-24-33-39-36-38-34-37-36-35-44-33-36-29-32-35-36-18-18-9-7-8-6-6-7-7-8-9-8-22-25-31-39-47-49-6-11-13-10-10-10-10-8-7-7-8-7-6
^ Indeed, and Heat Waves could in fact be #9 or #10.
Update for week ending 14 April:
I’ve added markers for anything climbing in the YTD Top 40.
It surely won’t be long until Perfect is back in Ed’s top 3, even if OG makes a brief reappearance the week after next.

Overpass Graffiti has been much more stable than I would have predicted originally, I'm sure it'll get a week or 2 back on the charts before Perfect takes it over (it's felt weird having charts without Perfect and Shape Of You but the latter might not even appear at all this year with Ed's consistency with BH and Shivers and rumored new solo album)

Surely BMW would be above Where Are You Now considering it took the dance chart #1 this week. Unless there's some difference in the ratios in the dance chart compared to the "official" chart.
So that's 7 Ed Sheeran songs in the current top 40. (Peru would have peaked at 2 not 3 btw).
Given that Overpass Graffiti had its single push 6 months ago and has only just fallen behind Perfect, if 2step has similar longevity (a big if) and Bad Habits and Shivers continue to hold up, we could see Perfect locked out of the official chart for the whole year - and yet still make the EOY top 40 or 50.
I should caveat that Overpass Graffiti falling behind Perfect in my estimates is a bit of a guess and it’s only due to Perfect and some other old songs suspiciously leaping up the Video Streaming chart!

Going by this thread, that's the first time this top 10 has been the same as the official one since March last year, on the week Drake released 3 songs (a triple A-side??) and Blinding Lights was estimated at #12 on old rules as the highest ACR song, same as Where Are You Now here.
Before that, you'd have to go back before the start of this thread, probably to June 2019 and the week of the static Top 12, which I think would there would have been under the old rules too, with either Giant raised from #39 on ACR or the starred out Grace being the first difference somewhere within 16-20.
Update for week ending 2 June: Alan Jones kindly gave us all the Harry positions - highest ACR song wouldn’t even be Top 20 by my reckoning. As It Was is storming towards the YTD #1.

AIW getting the EOY #1 seems inevitable now I guess then, depending on how big the Lewis Capaldi comeback is.
This is only the second week the old rules top 4 have belonged to one artist, given that The Chainsmokers/Coldplay rebounded to #4 in Divide's week 2. #4 is the highest position anything can be starred out from the official chart - although in terms of the old rules chart, I Don't Care being starred out from #1 (while on ACR for a week) remains unbeatable. Still, Matilda is for the moment the highest placed song on old rules which has never charted officially before or since - it remains to be seen whether it will keep that record or return it to Adele's My Little Love (#6 going by this thread).
Update for week ending 9 June:
Didn’t mention last week but it’s ironic that ACR is supposed to stop songs having ridiculously long Top 10 runs and yet Peru’s Top 10 run has already been extended by 2 weeks by the existence of ACR. Bad Habits back to being Ed’s highest song for the first time since it was #1.

Update for week ending 16 June - obviously we all know that Kate would already be #1, but the other big news as confirmed by Alan Jones is that Peru has begun its brief stint as the YTD #1, with Harry up to #3 and Cat entering the Top 10.

Thank goodness for ACR otherwise MB would be top 40 for the last 3 weeks
If "Peru" is currently the biggest selling song of the year and ends that way, it will be the second time that a non #1 single has become the biggest song of the year since 2010's "Love The Way You Lie" but saying that, AIW will definitely overtake "Peru" in the YE charts
Drake’s album bomb a lot less muted than Certified Lover Boy.
Harry is the YTD #1 and seems likely to stay there; Kate and Lizzo have entered the Top 40.

Poor brave 'Preu' already knocked off the YTD #1 </3
Surprised 'Bam Bam' is already as high as 22 in the YTDs as it didn't seem THAT big a hit.

That climb for Heat Waves Glastonbury effect maybe, but it only climbed 39-38 officially, and only 3 Drake songs dropped from above it last week, so I guess that means most of the songs it's climbed above here were fairly close (12-16 certainly were as per the 10-14 in the Sales thread).
btw Happier Than Ever peaked at #5 as per page 8.
Next week I expect we'll see the year's first official #1 which has a lower peak here at the time.

Wow @ Kate already being current EOY no.12 and considering it's still no.2 on Spotify and ACR doesn't affect that listing, at the end of the year it must be in with a great chance of being in the top 10 biggest tracks of 2022. Which would be incredible!

If this is the last week at #1 for Afraid To Feel, it will have merely matched the 6 weeks Running Up That Hill had on this chart beforehand. It will also become the 5th 8-week official #1 in the 30 years since Shakespear's Sister's Stay, all of them altered in length due to ACR:
One Kiss (9 weeks without ACR)
I Don't Care (9 weeks without ACR)
Blinding Lights (11 weeks without ACR)
Easy On Me (7 weeks without ACR)
Afraid To Feel (6 weeks without ACR)
WE 8/9 - 505 wouldn’t be Top 40 yet but would be Top 50

Sweater Weather equalling its pre-streaming era peak of #49, if correct for this week.
Strictly started on Friday and I’ve technically started my Xmas shopping (ordered a book for a mate on Amazon). With that in mind, any bets on which week Mariah and/or Wham! will enter the ACR-free top 50 this year?
Last year Mariah entered the “true” Top 50 on the chart revealed on 11 November and Wham! a week later. So consistent with that would be Mariah entering on 12 November and Wham! a week later this year.
I can’t imagine the Christmas songs being significantly more or less popular than last year - maybe slightly less as there seemed to be a bit of a pandemic comfort factor. And Wham! still tend to be a bit slower than Mariah out of the gate even though they were beating her through most of December last year.

Bad Habits has at least been as high as #2 in this chart this year, whereas Heat Waves and Mr Brightside are currently a place higher on the YTD than they've been on these weekly charts this year.
I can only think of two songs which ended the year higher on the EOY than on the weekly charts compiled by the same metrics - Love The Way You Lie in (EOY #1 in 2010) and How Do I Live (EOY #6 in 1998), although Let It Go came close (think it would have been EOY top 10 for 2014 if it had been sales only, where its weekly peak was still #11).
That makes sense as the OCC has it at EOY #13, which I guess is without streams for the first half of the year. I assume it would still have missed the weekly Top 10 even if streaming had been counted at that time, but couldn't say for definite.

I wondered if you might have been thinking about winding up this thread. I'll be sorry to see it go, but understand - thanks for all the work you've put into it for so long! Hope it gets to 225k views by year end
Will you continue with the YTD estimates in 2023? The first week of the year is an unusual one for this thread with all the songs which don't get reset, but it should be the same as the YTD chart for that one week. After that, I think the monthly YTD updates would continue to go down well if you're planning to carry those on.
Back to this week, I see Kelly's and Bobby's Christmas songs have cracked this top 10 for the first time - I reckon only one of them will do that officially in the coming weeks.
I enjoy your thread seeing what the charts really look like without the OCC's shenanigans applied. It would be a shame to wrap it up, but I can understand if you choose to do so as it does not get many comments. It's good to see all the real number 1s rather than the fake official ones (sometimes).
22/12
#6 is incredible for Bobby Helms. Other peaks for Dean Martin, Jose Feliciano, Sia and Nat King Cole.

As mentioned previously this may be the last time I work this out and post it, although I will do a one off accurate old rules chart next week when I get the YTD list!
New peaks this week for Bobby Helms, Andy Williams, Dean Martin, José Feliciano, Ronettes, Lizzo, Nat “King” Cole, Burl Ives, The Beach Boys and Frank Sinatra. Wow a lot of oldies. Interestingly no peak for Firebabe without the ACR distortion.

Sorry to hear you're thinking of retiring this thread - understandable though as it must be a lot of work to put together! Can personally say I've enjoyed checking this out without fail every week, thanks for all the hard work and apologies for not interacting. More of a lurker on the forum these days!
Yeh I’ve enjoyed it too thanks for the hard work Julian!
Awww have always enjoyed this thread - thanks so much for putting this together Julian!
Didn't realise just how long you had been doing these for!
Thanks for all the efforts with this, a bit of a shame if you are retiring it but fair if you think it's just not worth the effort or whatever it is.
thanks for everything! they've been an interesting weekly read!
Thanks for the nice comments! May continue after all - I’ll decide in a couple of weeks.
I hope you do continue as it is always good to see what the chart really looks like.
As promised providing the fully accurate Old Rules Top 50 for the week ending 12 January. I can only do this because I receive the Year To Date Top 100 from UKChartsPlus each week, and this week the Year Do Date chart and the old rules chart are the same thing. ChartsPlus is well worth a subscription for a couple of pounds per week if you’re a geek like me.
Note that while the resets having blocked Calm Down and Out of Nowhere from Top 5 may be frustrating, it’s also worth being thankful that the rules allow them to be Top 10 at all.

I don’t want to copy the full tracks Top 100 from ChartsPlus but as I have it I’ll post some extra info and commentary.
Note that we already have quite a big distortion in the tracks Top 50 with the official #82, Big City Life, featuring at #48 and the official #28, Until I Found You, being outside the Top 50. The further you go down the more extreme the distortion becomes. The official #40, 50s by Headie One, is only the “true” #79. And Firebabe, the official #45, is not Top 100 . So the cut off for the “true” Top 100 must be around 7.5k, just above Firebabe’s 7,389 sales. I suspect if you went further down the distortion would become yet more extreme. I’d love to know where Sweet Lies by Nathan Dawe and Talia Mar would be and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it would be #300 or lower.
The two highest placed songs starred out from this week’s chart are Lavender Haze at old rules #62 and Perfect at old rules #65. The highest placed song to have just missed the official Top 100 is Everybody Wants To Rule The World at old rules #70. The 25 other songs in the old rules but not the official Top 100, in alphabetical order, are:
505
Baby shark
Do I wanna know?
Don’t stop believin’
Don’t stop me now
Dreams
For my hand
Hold me closer
I’m still standing
Iris
I wanna be yours
Levitating
No excuses
Peru
Riptide
Romantic homicide
Shallow
Starboy
Starlight
Stay
Super freaky girl
Snap
Where are you now
Wonderwall
Yellow
Interestingly this time last year we had Shape Of You, Thinking Out Loud and Castle On The Hill (as well as Merry Christmas) in this week’s old rules Top 100. Ed’s back catalogue isn’t quite streaming like it was 12 months ago, but I guess the hype from the “=“ release has died down. Similarly we had Someone Like You and Rolling In The Deep this time last year.
Week ending 19 Jan (Week 2 of 2023):
Congratulations to Rema on finally reaching the Top 10!
Highlighting anything that’s reaching a new peak on the YTD Top 100 for 2023. Lewis has leapt all the way to #2 on the YTD chart but will be interesting to see how fast he falls.

Jeez imagine that top 10 still officially!
At least with this top 10 you don't still have As It Was and Green Green Grass floating around
Am I correct in thinking that without ACR, Ed would only have 11 no.1s? I know Merry Christmas without Ladbaby didn't make it and I don't think his one with Stormzy or Eminem did either but I could be wrong.....

Miracle has now had 8 weeks at #1 on this chart. Assuming this is its last, it will be the first to have exactly 8 weeks since Shakespears Sister - Stay in 1992, and only the second since The Archies - Sugar Sugar in 1969.
Five other songs have had exactly 8 weeks at #1 officially since ACR was introduced, but all of those either gained or lost weeks at #1 because of it.
No problem the five other songs were:
One Kiss (8 weeks - 9 without ACR)
I Don't Care (8 weeks - 9 without ACR)
Blinding Lights (8 weeks - 11 without ACR)
Easy On Me (8 weeks - 7 without ACR)
Afraid To Feel (8 weeks - 6 without ACR)

pleasing to see Kylie's moral top 15 peak here and that Hannah/Jorja would've entered top 40 too without ACR
I suppose we should be thankful ACR came for Flowers at the right time seeing as it's still yet to depart from the top 5 here
I see Calm Down finally managed its first and probably only week in the top 5 last week, whereas it's had 10 officially.
Likewise, that was the only week As It Was had in the top 10 since February, compared to 14 officially over the same time.

29/6:
It’s unusual for songs to have a higher peak on this chart than officially but there are 2 examples right now due to the 3 track rule having excluded them on album bomb week - Karma and Satellite.

Looks like Rema would have just grabbed another official Top 10 week if not bumped onto ACR - obviously he’s gained more Top 10 weeks due to ACR than he’s lost overall.

Someone You Loved must be on 120+ weeks top 40 by now! I make it 122, whereas it had 69 weeks in the official Top 40, meaning it has lost over a year in the top 40 due to ACR and the 3-track rule.

New peak for 'Santa Tell Me' - #6 has to be one of the highest peaks here for a non-Top 10 hit officially, possibly the highest yet due to ACR rather than being starred out.
I can’t think of anything that’a been as high as 6 in the tracks chart and hasn’t made the official top 10, other than where it’s been due to the 3 track rule like Matilda.
#justice4ari
28/12:
I think Brenda’s already passed The Pogues. Alexa still hasn’t generated a Top 10 with Ellie reaching #11 a few years ago and Sam I’m currently placing at #12, though he could yet go higher.
New peaks for Nat King Cole, The Jacksons and Eartha Kitt by a long way. Cher makes the Top 40.

Santa Tell Me only benefits from her name. If it were by anyon3 else, exvept Taylot Swift, it would badly flop like Britney's. It's almost the sam eexact song as Britney's.
At the risk of me just taking a bait post... Madonna's version of 'Santa Baby' also wasn't a single x
4/1:
As I said in the sales thread it’s probably the first time ever the Top 10 have all done more than 100k.
Dean Martin joins Kelly Clarkson in the club that have reached the Top 10 here but not officially. Other new peaks for The Ronettes, Nat King Cole, The Jacksons, Jorja Smith, Cher, Kelly & Ariana, The Beach Boys, Laufey and Taylor.
Sam actually drops back without the physicals and still no Amazon exclusive has made theTop 10. Their positions don’t seem so extraordinary in this chart.

'Last Christmas' now ranks joint 10th in the all-time list of most weeks at #1 in an ACR-free chart, alongside 'Sprinter' with 12 weeks (all in the space of 3 years).
A moot point but the Jackson 5 song probably hasn't matched its peak from the final chart of 2018, which I'd estimate at #22 (it was #30 officially).
Thanks Julian for continuing this over the past year!
It’s that time of the year when for 1 week only I can bring you the 100% accurate old rules chart! Poor Dial Drunk being denied a new peak by ACR and then not even charting due to the 3 track rule.

If this is its last week at #1, 'Stick Season' will be the first song to spend 8 consecutive weeks at #1 and no more on an ACR-free chart since Shakespear's Sister - Stay in 1992.
Five songs have since done so for 9 weeks: 'Crazy', 'Rockabye', 'One Kiss', 'drivers license' and 'As It Was'.
