I wish the public weren't such sheep and ventured out and listened to other new music, so boring.

more from Minty:
He has 16 singles in the top 28. He also makes up half of the top 20 singles chart. And guess what is the highest charting album track? That's right, bloody Galway Girl. |

I'm assuming those 232K sales are CDs and downloads without streams
same for the 16 songs in the top 28, that should be downloads only, imagine when they add streams |

RIP the UK singles chart. Great for Ed that he's having such success but this is just not an acceptable representation of SINGLES in the UK. They could create a rule to stop this in the singles chart and have a separate tracks chart if they must.
I think the OCC see this as promotion of the chart though!! |

The charts really are becoming more ridiculous by the day.
I would maybe think it was funny if it was gonna be a one week thing like Beyonce or The Weeknd had. I can see these tracks all being top 40 for months though and stopping other songs from entering. |

This is also gonna make chart runs look really bloody stupid.
Can just imagine the chart run for 'Chained to the Rhythm' being: 07-05-05-17 even though it will probs sell about 2k less. |

Like I say, I would introduce a rule that excludes tracks that have <10% contribution from download/physical sales - that would remove all of the album tracks.

Well you may have to change it to exclude songs that for instance sell 0 copies, or below a certain threshold like 10, 20 etc. there would be a way around it. |

The singles chart should be an opt-in chart for nominated tracks by record labels, restricted by certain criteria. It's not rocket science.

QUOTE(danG @ Mar 4 2017, 09:55 AM) if people are buying Ed Sheeran album tracks, which they are, then they should definitely count, but it's ridiculous that streams of the album (and lots of people are clearly streaming the entire album) count towards both charts. It should be one or the other. 100% agree |

Not in this case, as the album tracks are actually selling really well on iTunes (all of them are in the top 50 combined). The only way to remove album tracks from the chart is to have nominated singles. The OCC probably won't do anything though as Ed having his entire album chart in the top 40 is free publicity for the official chart. |

To say that they will all be top 40 for months is probably an exaggeration but they are likely to be more than a week
