QUOTE(Sour Candy @ Feb 2 2023, 01:44 PM)  That collaboration is tragic though, I cannot hear a hit in it even if tried. A fair chunk of their mutual discographies are tragic, it's not like that's stopped them before  But I suppose the fact it's not even made a tiny splash on album release says it all... |

They just need to count streams properly
For instance last week, Reytons were top 10 all week on Apple Album Streaming, which counts proper album streams excluding playlists and what do they get overall, 1000 sales from streams on the other hand, The Weeknd-the Highlights was not top 200 on Apple Album Streaming but he gets nearly 10,000 sales from streams cos people are streaming "This is The Weeknd" and other playlists but no one is streaming The Highlights and still The Highlights gets 10 times more streams and that happens every week, Sam is #1 on Apple Album Streams, The Highlights not charting guess who's gonna have more album streams come Friday? |

If there's no way of separating playlist streams from actual album streams then the current system is reasonably decent in principle, but streams absolutely shouldn't count towards greatest hits albums. Each track's streams should count for one album only. Either that or give greatest hits albums their own chart since it's just not a level playing field any more. If you look at the current album chart with GH removed I'd say it's fairly representative of the current most popular albums.

Sam Smith outselling and out-streaming Ava Max is surely no surprise! The biggest hit from Diamonds & Diamonds reached #83, 9 months ago. Nothing else has troubled the Top 100.

The biggest nonsense remains the fact that a stream of a song can contribute to "sales" for that song and for one or two albums.

Not wrong Yeah, there are some anomalies, but at the very least you can make the argument that those two albums are pretty well known by the general public. Whereas for example, Maroon 5's greatest hits currently has 278 weeks on chart, and I'd imagine the majority of people aren't even aware it exists... Would be interesting to know how low its actual sales are. |
