That's not exactly true, because the OCC allows only 10 streams / song / week / user into the chart, so it is less than that.

Oh my god, it's a new number 1 that isn't a song that has been out for 21 weeks.

Glitterball is up to #28 as well.

So if one person will 1000 streams / song / week it will have much less impact on chart than buying one copy, it's quite against sense of adding streams to an official chart.

Well I would wonder if someone streams 1 song 1000 times a week :lol:

 

Would you listen to ONE song 1000 times a week? On and on and on? :lol:

 

So let's stay in the reality:

I don't think at all it's against the sense of adding streams to the chart. In fact it blocks crazy fans to multi-listen a song, just to get it higher on the chart. It's like multibuying.

 

Edit: maybe it's 10 streams / song / DAY / user. I don't remember that well now, but surely the number is right only I don't know if it's /day or /week.

It's 10 per song per day per user!

Yep, so the most you can theoretically contribute is 0.7 'chart sales' per week.

 

So it is much less effective than multi-buying, which in the 1990s usually allowed you to buy 4 formats (3 from 1995 onward).

Yep, so the most you can theoretically contribute is 0.7 'chart sales' per week.

0.7 sale from streaming per user is quite balanced I think (plus I think multiple remixes doesn't count in the 10 streams / day rule, but here I'm not sure either)

My point was that if it is allowed to buy many copies of one single why they don't allow multi-listen??? You are absolutely right that is not really possible that one person will listen 1k times per week same song. So streaming is much less effective than multi-buying. So in my opinion this 10 streams / song / DAY / user rule doesn't really have any sense.

Technically 10 streams is multi-listening. :P It would be quite easy for fanbases of large acts to just put the song on repeat all day without actually listening to the song and get a lot of streams that way. If you played a 3 minute song continously for a week it'll garner 3,360 plays = 33.6 sales. Let's say 1,000 hardcore fans of a big act (One Direction, Adele, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift etc) all did that, that'd equal 33.6k sales. Of course that's unlikely, but if an act did have a few thousand hardcore fans who would play a song on repeat just to increase sales, it could easily inflate their sales by a few thousand, perhaps even more than 10k in some cases. I think the 10 streams per user per day is reasonable to stop inflating sales figures of acts.

So without 10 streams / song / DAY / user rule artist with stronger (or actually more crazy ;) )fanbase will have better position in official chart. And it would be bad because...?

I really don't get your problem apart from "I want that everything will be counted no matter...". I think the OCC made a very sensible decision with this rule so sales and streaming stay balanced in the chart which was once a sales chart. They did researches, they didn't invent this rule from one day to the other. And not to forget also streams are counted that aren't paid streams (but royalties are coming from sponsors/adverts).

Had a feeling Selena would be #35 looking at the numbers yesterday :D

First of all it's not really a problem, I am just curious what's point of this rule, and i'm not really sure that that with this rule chart is better/more interesting, actually I think that charts would be more interesting if they count 100% streaming. It also would be more simple, right now even such charts experts like you didn't know how many streams they count, and how many they dont.

So without 10 streams / song / DAY / user rule artist with stronger (or actually more crazy ;) )fanbase will have better position in official chart. And it would be bad because...?

 

Chart manipulation. I wouldn't be surprised if something like what happens on youtube would occur if they counted every stream. Where fans of artists team up to refresh videos to get more views. But instead stream certain songs to get more sales to get certain certifications etc. I think something like that would ruin the chart, where those with bigger fanbases end up higher/staying around for longer and potentially making it even harder for new artists to break through.

 

I think the streaming cap is fine, especially since the most people wouldn't listen to the same song more than 10 times a day (unless listening to Capital FM :lol: ).
