February 1, 201510 yr So Georgio & Kylie were #74 on the sales chart, but not top 100 on the official chart!
February 1, 201510 yr Author Big Sean climbing to #67 and thus outpeaking Naya Rivera. Lul. Kanye West also back in the top 75 for a fourth week with 'Only One', hooray! Rae Sremmurd in the top 100 though ew. 'Numb / Encore' not QUITE top 20 on sales - only #25 in fact. 'Rhymes' just missing the top 10 even on sales alone so #13 overall seems very decent! Steve Harley And Cockney Rebel very close to being the first act to be top 40 on sales but not top 75 overall however :o The Prodigy getting a second sales-only top 75 hit off the new album! Only nine places lower than 'Nasty' charted. Can't have been too far off the overall top 100.
February 1, 201510 yr Absolute barrage of new/re-entries on the sales chart (and a fair few survivors when factoring in streams too). A cover of Crazy In Love reaching #91 on sales.
February 1, 201510 yr Steve Harley gains a new record for the biggest negative difference to miss an overall top 40 week by a massive 33 places!
February 1, 201510 yr So happy to see 7 new tracks in the chart this week to give everything a nice shake up Great to see Sing has left but with the Brits just around the corner I'm expecting climbs for all the tracks from Ed/Sam and possibly George too sadly......
February 1, 201510 yr Good to see Jessie Ware's album is still hanging into the top 100. Must only be on around 30k though. Hopefully the next single and the Brit Awards help it finally get to silver.
February 2, 201510 yr First Aid Kit - Number 11. Wow - they have come up in the popularity stakes. Good for them.
February 2, 201510 yr Streaming would certainly give the albums a boost if introduced and given time. Wonderful to see Take That on the climb in the albums but i did hope it would secure a place in the top 15.
February 2, 201510 yr Author Streaming would only artificially increase album 'sales'. I'm okay with streaming being included in the singles chart but I really hope it never gets added to the albums chart because there's no meaningful way to equate streams to album purchases, it'd lead to for example 'Uptown Special' being massively boosted despite people only caring for one song from it, which slightly defeats the point of the album chart being a separate thing.
February 2, 201510 yr That's true I guess but at least we wouldn't have those very random new and re-entries in the lower region. I bet streaming would easily raise the bar of top 75 placing to 2.5k units on a weekly basis. Edited February 2, 201510 yr by SKOB
February 2, 201510 yr That's true I guess but at least we wouldn't have those very random new and re-entries in the lower region. True. It would just extend albums like Sheeran, Ezra, Smith etc. at the expense of more interesting albums lower down. Is that what you really want?
February 2, 201510 yr True. It would just extend albums like Sheeran, Ezra, Smith etc. at the expense of more interesting albums lower down. Is that what you really want? Why not! I don't think Bethel Music's album which is going to sell 5k in the long run is more "interesting" to get a top 40 placing than let's say a year old album from One Direction.
February 2, 201510 yr Might not be more "interesting" but its certainly "fresher". The charts are super stale, and people wanna make it even more stale... right.
February 2, 201510 yr streaming should never be added to album sales, it doesn't make sense for reasons bré explained. Anyway I'm 90% sure it won't be happening anytime soon.
February 2, 201510 yr Streaming added to the album chart will pretty much kill off what is already a weak market. It makes no sense whatsoever except to artificially inflate sales figures.
