QUOTE(Rush @ May 31 2018, 08:16 AM)  Apple take a 30% cut on downloads (to my knowledge), so 7,500 full-price sales would pay out about £5,200. In reality, it would be less due to discounts, and 1 million streams would likely be closer to £4,000 as, according to the article, Apple Music pay out almost twice as much as Spotify. It's not really that much of a difference. It's not much at all in the grand scheme of things when firstly 1 million streams can be a lot of people who would have otherwise bought the song and paid the artist A LOT more money and secondly a million streams could do a lot for someone chart wise meanwhile 7500 sales wouldn't get you a week in the chart. The trouble these services are having is the more people use them the more money they pay out but the fact that artists aren't paid enough is the main reason that the streaming model cannot work (at least in it's current form) in the long run. |

Don't think this has been mentioned before, but Music Week have confirmed that streams are now included in the compilation chart when the album is the repertoire source.

From Music Week
Official Charts Company adds streaming 'sales' to compilations chart There’s been a shake-up on the compilations chart. The Official Charts Company has changed the rules so that streaming data will count towards sales for compilations featuring original material. The rule change is set to have a significant impact on the chart and sales totals. The Frozen 2 soundtrack (UMC/Walt Disney) climbed 7-2 on the compilations chart on Friday (November 29). The album has weekly sales of 12,041 (38.6% from streams), according to the Official Charts Company. “The scale of consumption will be fully reflected, as the Official Charts Company changed the rules governing the compilation chart to also include streams where tracks constitute new, previously unreleased material,” said an Official Charts Company spokesperson. Other beneficiaries this week include the original Frozen soundtrack, the Children In Need Got It Covered album (Silva Screen) and the Top Boy (Warner Music) soundtrack. The compilation inspired by the Netflix series has made an impact with Dave’s track Professor X (228,969 sales), streams for which have been registered for the singles chart. But now streams for the digital-only album also count towards the compilation chart. The previous rule depressed sales figures for albums that had heavy streaming consumption, such as The Greatest Showman Reimagined. However, the change will not include compilations such as the Now series, which do not feature original songs. Now’s co-MD Peter Duckworth has previously spoken to Music Week about how the absence of streaming ‘sales’ has made a 100,000 weekly total more difficult. Now That’s What I Call Music recently reported that revenues were down in what has become a challenging physical compilations market. Compilation album sales are down 35% year-on-year so far in 2019. |

^ looks like this change was actually made a couple of weeks ago? Looking at the compilations chart the 'Plug Talk' compilation entered the compilations chart two weeks ago, that will definitely have been based almost entirely on streams and it was released a while before that. The 'Charlie's Angels' soundtrack also shot up 62-41 in the same week.
I also notice that the soundtracks for 'Moana' and 'Trolls' are now in the compilations chart so the OCC must have quietly changed their mind about those counting to the main albums chart at some point (seems to have been in July last year)... I had been thinking if those count to the main album chart then 'Frozen' and 'Frozen 2' surely should as well. |

Makes sense for them to make this change, hope it's raises sales for the Frozen soundtrack!

Why would the OCC changing the rules on a chart that no one follows increase the sales of an album...
