QUOTE(Bré @ Jun 24 2018, 10:10 PM) Chart forum bingo: OCC rule change gets a response speculating on Ed Sheeran abusing it for some reason. Check. This remains as true as ever. And this one isn't even a real rule change.

Or make the ratio for paid music over streaming higher. you need a reality check, this is 2018 not 1988, you have to accept that no one buys music anymore, you make the top 100 on itunes with 20 sales, why should the ratio be increased, a song should chart cos 20 people bought it? there shouldn't be arbitrary limit but a real distinction of when people stream an album vs a single. No one was going to Spotify thinking oh I'm gonna go and stream Drake's Survival, no one was doing that, people were going to Spotify and clicking to stream Drake's album, in which Survival is track 1, that should count for the album charts, not the singles This post has been edited by Bjork: 2nd August 2018, 06:41 PM

It gives them a chance to iron out issues like this before the final chart is published. When you look at some of the errors that creep into the mids, just imagine some of the chart oddities we could have had

Even if that is true, to stay in the top 100 for 24 hours would be 480 sales and a week in the top 100 would be 3360 sales so that's nothing to sniff at. And why be rude saying I need a reality check. The whole point was about only 3 songs charting which I still believe is stupid.

The iTunes chart is based on the last 24 hours not 1 hour and is a rolling chart so getting to #100 of sales are as low as 20 u would get roughly 140 sales in a week assuming it stays at around a similar position for the rest of the week but I think #100 is more or less around 40 sales per day which even that isn’t enough to impact the chart if it continues to get similar sales for the rest of the week and chances the single won’t stay around long This post has been edited by RockafellerSkank: 2nd August 2018, 11:28 PM
