Posted by: vidcapper 22nd November 2015, 10:42 AM
Specifically towards the singles chart...
Comparing this time last year vs now.
Str.Pos - Aut 2014 (k) - Aut 2015 (k)
1 - 13.5 - 32
5 - 10 - 18
10 - 8 - 15
20 - 6.5 - 12
30 - 5 - 10
40 - 4 - 8
50 - 3 - 6.7
75 - 2.1 - 3.7
100 - 1.7 - 2.9
As you can see, for any given position on the streaming chart, it's contribution to combined sales has pretty much doubled over the last 12 months.

streaming definitely has an undeniable impact, it definitely seems that to do well on streams is essential to getting a big chart hit. Can't be long before streaming makes up 90 percent of the market, isn't it already at 75 percent or something?

For the market as a whole, yes - but less so for the upper positions.
For the top 10, it's only about 1/3rd. For the chart below #30, it is consistently 50-60%.

Worth mentioning that 3 weeks so far have had a >50% contribution from streaming to the number 1 single.
All 3 weeks were by Justin Bieber, the highest being the 59.8% for the 5th week of “What Do You Mean?”

PROGRESS 
can't be long before a track reaches the milestone of being streamed 10 million times in a week aka 100,000 chart sales~

Unfortunately I am missing data for most of the weeks of Bieber's #1 run, though I suspect they would only over-inflate the average...
