May 26, 201213 yr Rihanna will surely be in the top 10 I think. But she'll probably look so out of place with the other artists in there. :lol:
May 26, 201213 yr Rihanna will be 7th in the Top 60, having over-taken ABBA, (8th & now 9th), & Queen, (7th & now 8th), in the past Year. She next has Michael Jackson in her sights - he's 6th - if I'm correct.

May 27, 201213 yr Madonna won't be No.1 - The Beatles, Elvis Presley, & Cliff Richard, have all sold more UK Singles than her. She will be about 4th.
June 1, 201213 yr One of my OCC 'Contacts' has explained to me that Rihanna will not be the 7th Act in Monday's Radio 2 Singles Acts Chart. She will be lower, as she will not be allocated every Hit that she's been credited on. Some of her Hits - that have not been added in - Run This Town, (No.1 in 2009), Love The Way You Lie, (No.2 in 2010), Who's That Chick?, (No.6 in 2011), & Take Care, (No.9 in 2011). Here is what he told me:, "Our chart is ranked on sales where the artist has the main artist credit – so it excludes sales where the artist has been featured. For example, Rihanna would appear lower in our chart because it doesn’t include sales where she was a featured artist". @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ It also means that Drake can't have any Sales from What's My Name?, (No.1 in 2011), & Jay-Z can't have any from Umbrella, (No.1 in 2007). Nor can Christina Aguilera have any Sales from Moves Like Jagger. Madonna can't have any from Me Against The Music, (No.2 in 2003), & Justin Timberlake can't have any from 4 Minutes, (No.1 in 2008). And many other Artists will have some of their Sales excluded too. Ironically both Kylie & Jason will get the Sales from Especially For You, as that was credited to both of them equally - the word 'And' did that. Likewise for John Travolta, & Olivia-Newton John.

Good!
June 2, 201213 yr So, the OCC have, understandably, chosen to keep it simple. The equally simple method of crediting all featured artists would have created just as many anomalies. If each release was assessed individually (which would take far too long for it to be a practical proposition), I would add Love The Way Yu Lie to Rihanna's sales but I would not add Umbrella to Jay-Z's sales.
June 4, 201213 yr Author A reminder this is happening today. If anyone can post the list that would be great. I'm only on mobile today so I can't help much sorry.
June 4, 201213 yr The full list has been posted on the OCC website. So, look at it if you wish; otherwise, wait for the countdown this afternoon. Please don't post any positions in this thread until after they have been announced on the radio.
