Great.... so even older songs are getting more longevity in the charts.....zzzzzzzz

Love this thread idea! I wonder what the first song will be to both gain and lose a week from streaming?

Excellent idea for a thread.

Shame for little mix, poor girls!

Can anyone point me to the thread which indicates all the songs that wouldn't have charted if downloads had never been included in the charts :huh:

 

Seriously, though, while this topic may be of limited interest in the short term, while the inclusion of streaming is still new to everyone, surely we now just have to accept that the singles chart is now calculated using the current methods.

'Interesting threads shouldn't exist now because they won't be interesting in the future'

 

This thread isn't 'not accepting' the changes in the chart, it's just documenting the impact of the change on the lower end of the top 40. I don't intend to keep updating it forever long past streaming completely taking over the chart if that ever happens.

This week's gains

 

Vance Joy - Riptide

Sam Smith - Money On My Mind

Great.... so even older songs are getting more longevity in the charts.....zzzzzzzz

 

I knew this was going to happen, new tracks will crash down the chart and older tracks will just hang around for weeks...

 

Great idea for a thread though, interesting to see how its taken hold of the charts

But old tracks are new tracks once upon a time! It's not too big a problem, it'll sort out the properly popular stuff from the one-week wonders which I agree has pros & cons but is a better "official" reflection.

Update for this week and the most fascinating one yet :)

MKTO gets highest position with more time to date at number 33 and the first to enjoy four extra weeks thanks to streaming.

Edited August 20, 201410 yr by zenon

While it's a shame that the likes of Clean Bandit and Naughty Boy have missed out on the T40 due to streaming, I quite enjoy seeing a few tracks re-enter (Kiesza, Tiesto) and am loving that MKTO has earned so many extra weeks due to the streaming.

So far so bad, I wasn't against streaming being included, but I have to admit it makes the charts so much more boring considering how many good songs have missed the top40 because of streaming. :(

I dont mind streaming if these songs are missing out theres a reason, it bores me that some songs get into the top 40 for 1-4 weeks - are they really that popular in the first place?

A lot of the time it's because they don't get enough exposure, and thus don't get the chance to become 'popular'.

The songs I was talking about are ones that get exposure but still have short chart runs!
