I think it could have, my point of view, discuss.
What could have happened is the tally of sales could have still run until midnight Saturday as before, benefiting from two days of new release sales, and then the chart will be fresher than it was before. At the moment, although the BT40 is unofficial and irrelevant, but as regards the fresher chart goes it is the one, Today Little mix will spend the second week at Number 1 on the BT40 chart, only the first on the Official chart, as of Friday. What would have happened is last Sunday Little mix would have claimed the first week at number 1, being as fresh as the BT40 chart, also today the BT40 will have a high entry from John Newman, we will have to wait 5 more days for the same entry from John Newman to be in the Official Chart final week tally(although John will be in on the Update tomorrow) So the week will be as follows Friday morning - new releases out Saturday night at midnight - Sales tally closes for the week. Sunday 4 to 7 - Chart as normal. Wednesday Afternoon - update as usual Just my thoughts on the matter, I may be wrong or barking up the wrong tree. |

Then record labels would change their release date back to Sunday to get a full week of sales to have a better chance of #1.

Surely labels wouldn't want to do that as it means all pre-orders/early sales are used up for a lesser chart position with just those 2 days.
Edit: That's in response to the OP, not to look like I'm disagreeing with Dobbo

It would have been better and more interesting but that is not what the record companies care about. They need held back releases and a full week of sale to flaunt no.1s to make themselves look good. They need complete control of the results.

The new release strategy seems to be alright as other countries release their music Fridays, but they could have left the chart show till Sunday, I still can't get to grips with all the changing days for the weekly topics, which reminds me I have to drop the F.C.P. thread topic later this afternoon/early evening at some point.

Still a bit of a joke in a way, Little mix was in with Marvin & Kat on Sunday and told they were Number 1, and again with Greg 5 days later on Friday and told they were Number 1, funny state of affairs.

I think they made the right decision considering the introduction of the global release day.

I think the global release day is ok, but would be much better if every song was released everywhere on the same day, ie instead of the UK still waiting up to 3 months for releases

I'm happy enough with the change and prefer it to companies releasing big singles on Friday and only having two days of sales worth before the Sunday Chart is revealed but I do wish that the current Friday format would be tweaked just a little. To me starting the chart at 3:30 would be much more ideal and would give them enough time to play the new entries. I don't even think it's a matter of cutting into Scott Mills show, before when the midweek chart update was on a Wednesday his show lost half an hour so I can't see the harm it would cause. I just think for bad or for good it's not fair that a song enters the top 40 in the charts and doesn't get played so that's the only change I'd like to make.

I like the global release day if they would actually follow it in the uk and stop being so controlling. If a group is popular enough/releases a good enough song it will rise or fall in the chart! Radio should get on board quicker and move with the times.

I remember in the days of Hit40UK they used to have occasions where the same artist was being interviewed simultaneously on both shows about being number 1 as one or other of the shows would play a pre-recorded interview as if it were live! |

Release date was broken this week by Bring Me The Horizon with the Happy Song! It was issued on a Monday. So that's that rule quickly ejected.
There's another chart that still uses the old week system and is more accurate as it removes any fiddling that's going off. This week's chart is featured below... As you can see the result of the Friday date is to make records come in low. I haven't included the last week's positions, but Little Mix where 21, Years 1, Avicii 32, Sam Feldt 41. Both Sam and Little Mix had downloads removed due to a certain fiddle that iTunes is pulling on the public this week. The chart is sales only - no streams. 1 David Zowie - House Every Weekend 2 Years & Years - Shine 3 Birdy - Wings 4 Lost Frequencies - Are You With Me 5 Little Mix - Black Magic 6 Walk The Moon - Shut Up And Dance 7 Avicii - Waiting for Love 8 Sam Feldt ft Kimberly Anne - Show Me Love 9 James Bay - Let It Go 10 Fifth Harmony ft Kid Ink - Worth It 11 Tinie Tempah ft Jess Glynne - Not Letting Go 12 Omi - Cheerleader 13 Ed Sheeran - Photograph 14 Rita Ora - Poison 15 Jason Derulo - Want to Want Me 16 Major Lazer ft MØ & DJ Snake - Lean On 17 Taylor Swift ft Kendrick Lamar - Bad Blood 18 Krept & Konan ft Jeremih - Freak Of The Week 19 Wiz Khalifa - See You Again 20 Flo Rida ft Robin Thicke - I Don't Like It, I Love It 21 Kygo - Stole the Show 22 Skrillex & Diplo ft Justin Bieber - Where Are Ü Now 23 The Score - Oh My Love 24 Lunchmoney Lewis - Bills 25 Galantis - Runaway (U & I) 26 Jessie J - Flashlight 27 Fetty Wap - Trap Queen 28 Deorro & Chris Brown - Five More Hours 29 The Chemical Brothers ft Q-Tip - Go 30 James Bay - Hold Back The River EP 31 Brandon Flowers - I Can Change 32 Mark Ronson ft Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk 33 new Bring Me the Horizon - Happy Song 34 Jess Glynne - Hold My Hand 35 The Weeknd - Can't Feel My Face 36 David Guetta - Hey Mama 37 Years & Years - King 38 Natalie La Rose ft Jeremih - Somebody 39 Maroon 5 - Sugar 40 Nathan Sykes - Kiss Me Quick 41 Kygo ft Conrad Sewell - Firestone 42 new John Newman Come And Get It 43 Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud 44 Pharrell Williams - Freedom 45 Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do 46 Taylor Swift - Shake It Off 47 Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You 48 Hozier - Take Me To Church 49 The Weeknd - The Hills 50 Selena Gomez ft A$AP - Rocky Good For You 51 new Calvin Harris & Disciples - How Deep Is Your Love 52 Andy Grammer - Honey, I'm Good 53 Avicii - The Nights 54 Petite Meller - Baby Love 55 Pitbull ft Chris Brown - Fun 56 new Eminem ft Gwen Stefani - Kings Never Die 57 Hozier - Someone New 58 Example Whisky Story 59 Disclosure ft Gregory Porter - Holding On 60 Nick Jonas - Jealous 61 Taylor Swift - Blank Space 62 Shaggy I Need Your Love 63 Martin Garrix ft Usher - Don't Look Down 64 Pharrell Williams - Happy 65 new 5 Seconds of Summer - She's Kinda Hot 66 new Lethal Bizzle - Playground 67 new Jess Glynne - Ain't Got Far To Go 68 Paloma Faith - Only Love Can Hurt Like This 69 re A$AP Rocky ft Rod Stewart, Mark Ronson - Everyday 70 Florence + the Machine - Ship To Wreck 71 Ariana Grande - One Last Time 72 new Tinashe ft Iggy Azalea - All Hands On Deck (Remix) 73 Ginuwine - Pony 74 Meghan Trainor - Dear Future Husband 75 The Weeknd - Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey) 76 Nick Jonas - Chains 77 re Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars 78 Meek Mill - All Eyes On You 79 Zedd ft Selena Gomez - I Want You To Know 80 Rihanna - Bitch Better Have My Money 81 Taylor Swift - Style 82 re Charles Hamilton ft Rita Ora - New York Raining 83 Duke Dumont - The Giver 84 Jack Savoretti - Written In Scars 85 new Major Lazer ft Ellie Goulding & Tarrus Riley - Powerful 86 new X Ambassadors - Renegades 87 new David Gilmour - Rattle That Lock 88 Ed Sheeran - Bloodstream 89 new Rudimental - Love Ain't Just a Word 90 new Kelly Clarkson - Invincible 91 new Chvrches - Leave a Trace 92 Clean Bandit ft Jess Glynne - Rather Be 93 Years & Years - Eyes Shut 94 re Christina Perri - A Thousand Years 95 new Galantis - Peanut Butter Jelly 96 re Katy Perry - Roar 97 new Future ft Drake - Where Ya At 98 re Alesha Dixon - The Way We Are 99 Charlie Puth ft Megan Trainor - Marvin Gaye 100 new Shura - White Light |
