Welcome to the ACR Status Updates thread! This is where you can find out the current streaming ratios of the songs in the official top 100. Please note - I don't receive information every single week, so if no thread materialises, there's no use nagging me - it means I genuinely don't know the status of any songs! Updates can also materialise at any point over the weekend but I'll always try to ensure I do it before the First Look chart update if I receive the necessary information.

If you're wondering what ACR and SCR are, here's a quick reminder:

SCR = Standard Chart Ratio. All songs enter the chart on SCR, which means their streams count at the following ratios:

100 premium streams = 1 sale (e.g. a premium Spotify account, Apple Music, Tidal, etc)
600 ad-funded streams = 1 sale (e.g. free Spotify, YouTube, etc)

ACR = Accelerated Chart Ratio. Once a song has charted for at least 10 weeks, and declines in streams for three consecutive weeks, it is put onto ACR. This means its streams are HALVED, and count at the following ratios:

200 premium streams = 1 sale
1200 ad-funded streams = 1 sale

Songs older than 3 years old are automatically on ACR.

The terminology used in this thread will be the official terminology used by the OCC. The explanations are posted in each update to assist you.

Obviously a bit of a weird one this week with the Christmas songs, plus if the OCC do the same in January as they did this year then we'll be seeing anything going to ACR in December reset anyway, but handy to know for the next couple of weeks at least.

Anti-Hero set to go something like 20-80-20 over the next 3 weeks, even if it doesn't get a reset.

Hopefully they don't do that again, resulting in songs being blocked from the top 10 by stuff that wouldn't have been reset at any other time of year.

luckily even if taylor gets reset she probably wont be doing enough to get back to #1 so hopefully that means raye has it in the bag!

I think Raye is still looking like a lock on for the first #1 of the new year. Unless SZA or god forbid that Central Cee thing continue to grow. But the likes of Anti-Hero/Made You Look/Psycho/Miss You etc... getting reset when they wouldn't usually could block other songs from reaching certain chart milestones.

Roughly speaking I think these are the songs that would be reset:

Anne-Marie & Aitch - PSYCHO
Cian Ducrot - All for You
David Baddiel, Frank Skinner & The Lightning Seeds - 3 Lions
Dermot Kennedy - Kiss Me
Ed Sheeran - Celestial
Oliver Tree & Robin Schulz - Miss You
Tom Odell - Another Love
venbee & goddard. - messy in heaven

+ any that go to ACR from this batch:

Eminem - Mockingbird
Joel Corry & Tom Grennan - Lionheart (Fearless)
Lil Uzi Vert - Just Wanna Rock
Meghan Trainor - Made You Look
Mimi Webb - Ghost of You
Stormzy - Hide & Seek
Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero
Taylor Swift - Lavender Haze
Taylor Swift feat. Lana Del Rey - Snow on the Beach

I assume those in contention for top 10 spots in the first post-Xmas week would be Anti-Hero, Made You Look, messy in heaven, Miss You, PSYCHO and Hide & Seek (at the start of the week anyway). Another Love... I'm not sure whether that would qualify or not but we'll see. 3 Lions is a non-issue regardless. Either way, I don't think we're looking at a situation where Easy On Me rebounds to the top and blocks what would've been a new #1 in abcdefu, seeing how much RAYE is dominating already.

I agree that we're probably not looking at a lost out on #1 situation this year, like we could have got if Gayle didn't overtake Adele eventually anyway.

But if we get 4/5 songs rebounded into the top 10 when they wouldn't have been reset from a natural decline in any other week, then there could still be a significant impact. To pluck some hypothetical examples out, Bugzy Malone, Metro Boomin, a SZA track etc... could potentially lose out on a top 10 placement they would have got otherwise. Sure, they would have been outsold by the reset tracks which you could say makes it fair game anyway, but that isn't how things would have played out at another time of year because the resets wouldn't have occurred without a big natural second wind.

I guess it can seem a load of whataboutery to be complaining about it but it does seem one of the silliest parts of the current chart rules to me, to just make an exception and reset a load of songs arbitrarily at the expense of others. Did anything that was reset in this year's first chart week actually re-peak because of it? I can't actually remember what was reset and what just naturally climbed after the Christmas clearout but I have a feeling nothing did.

I suppose it's probably fair to say they would've all had a few more top 10 weeks during December and the market is veeery distorted during this time, so I don't have too big an issue with it and it's effectively like a reset back to the end of November, but it doesn't work in favour of the fresher music at all, I agree.

Friday's chart would've looked like this (before messy in heaven, Miss You and PSYCHO went to ACR, and removing Firebabe as that is a Christmas song to all intents and purposes)

01 RAYE feat. 070 Shake - Escapism.
02 Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero
03 venbee & goddard. - messy in heaven
04 Meghan Trainor - Made You Look
05 SZA - Kill Bill
06 Oliver Tree & Robin Schulz - Miss You
07 Metro Boomin, The Weeknd & 21 Savage - Creepin'
08 Bugzy Malone & TeeDee - Out Of Nowhere
09 SZA - Nobody Gets Me
10 Anne-Marie & Aitch - PSYCHO

So even with the resets, we have the potential to get new top 10 hits from SZA (Kill Bill, I don't expect Nobody Gets Me to challenge), Metro Boomin and Bugzy Malone, so it's not all bad. If we didn't reset anything that's already gone to ACR, we'd have these in contention for those spots (obviously allowing for the fact songs like Anti-Hero could be top 10 even on ACR)

Rema - Calm Down
SZA - Shirt
Drake & 21 Savage - Rich Flex
Lewis Capaldi - Pointless
Sam Smith & Kim Petras - Unholy

Shirt won't be holding up as well so we're only really losing out on a potential Lewis top 10, and he could still make it with physicals. Perhaps it's lucky that there aren't so many bubbling under hits right now that it won't make such a big difference!

'Miss You' to stay on ACR please! Also I think RAYE should manage #1 regardless of any other resets and at the moment I'm not sure Central Cee will challenge but won't hold my breath!

I guess there's potential for it to have negligible impact on what would have happened either way this year then, although I can still foresee a scenario in which it does make a big difference. God there's no easy solution to the mess of December charts in the streaming era is there?

Side note, did someone start a 2023 chart predictions thread already or shall I start one?

I have no problem with quite a few songs whose runs were cut short by Christmas having re-sets in the New Year. I just don’t think the record companies should have anything to do it and they should make some sort of objective rule instead. Even if it was that anything that was on SCR at the end of November returns to SCR at least that would be transparent. Or just suspend ACR totally during December - you don’t need it when the market is being flooded with Christmas songs anyway.

I'm confused..why don't they just follow the rules that they follow for rest of year? If 25%+ increase Reset, otherwise stay on ACR?
The charts may not feel fresh (although you would have lost the dozens of Christmas songs which would freshen up the charts naturally) but new songs (like Encanto, 'Down Under', 'Preu' and Lauren Spencer-Smith) would have pushed through anyway?

Yes, I'm not sure that absolutely everything which went to ACR last December got a reset, for example Sam Fender's Spit Of You didn't, despite going to ACR after Meet Me At Our Spot and My Universe which did.

They did that in 2019/20 and it led to songs like Someone You Loved and Perfect getting a pointless re-sets which then took a long time to be reversed

Coming For You was the only one, reaching #5 (previously peak #10)

There would have also been one song reaching a new peak with those rules... Heat Waves getting to #4! (It would have been reset but not Easy On Me.) Not to mention Seventeen Going Under reaching #2 and abcdefu getting a 2nd week at #1. Most other songs that would have been reset were long past their peaks though.
