May 10, 201213 yr This is the Press release. Music streaming will come of age next week when the UK industry comes together to launch the first Official Streaming Chart! The new Top 100 rundown will be compiled by the Official Charts Company with data from the nation’s leading streaming services - including Spotify, Deezer, Napster, We7, Zune (XBox Live) and new mobile phone start-up ChartsNow - supported by the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA) and record labels association The BPI. The Official Streaming Chart will be the first chart which ranks audio streams from both ad-funded and subscription streaming services in the UK, to reflect the growing interest in this new generation of music services. I wonder if ChartsPlus will carry this?
May 10, 201213 yr I tweeted my opposition to including streaming in the official chart and got a reply saying that they were committed to a sales chart. Funny enough I did the same before you tweeted them, and got the same response. :D
May 10, 201213 yr I could have swore MW had the streaming chart top 10 on the odd occassion in its issue, i think songs like We found love were STILL top 10 in it - bet they incorporate it into the top 40 officially in the future!
May 10, 201213 yr I wonder if ChartsPlus will carry this? I would like us to carry this. However, like all things, it's down to cost. As with any other queries relating to ChartsPlus, I suggest an email to Chris.
