Blue = Did not make #1 on sales

Red = Did not make #1 combined

this week we could see the first sales #1 to be #3 or lower combined, if Taylor Swift keeps selling lots this week as there's no way she'll make up the 30k needed to overtake Omi's streaming and I can see Lunchmoney Lewis/Wiz Khalifa possibly being ahead too

Deorro and Chris Brown are the first acts to be number 1 on sales but not top three combined!

Deorro was very lucky to make the sales #1, I imagine he didn't need to sell much to do so. anyway him being #4 officially is just more reason why streaming is definitely needed in the chart

Updated to include Glitterball in the losses column. Still waiting for the first overall number 1 never to get there on sales.

Sigala needs to be included on the list

Cheers for reminding me, now updated.

What Do You Mean this week is the first official number 1 single not to be top 5 on sales in the same week only making it to 7.

And it will break a record for most weeks gained at number 1. Let's prevent this from happening

Or how about not, when the alternative is having Jamie Lawson be the official #1 (and I imagine he'll be this week's sales #1)

He'll definitely be sales #1 but not official #1. If not JB, then R City or Drake for #1

The latest change sees Justin Bieber with Sorry becoming the first ever number 1 single never to top sales!

Looks like he is unlikely to get there now too.

 

His sales chart run: 2-2-3-2-2-3* (6 weeks.. so far)

Shawn Mendes has gained and lost a week at number 1 due to streaming. "Love Yourself" has gained a week and "Fast Car" has lost a week

Sigala loses a week in favour of Mike Posner. He has now lost two weeks at #1 with two different songs. At least one of those songs has spent a week at #1 though

Drake gains a week and Calvin Harris loses a week. Never thought I'd see the day that Calvin Harris loses a #1 due to streaming :rofl:

Drake gains a second week and Calvin Harris loses a second week.

Drake gains a third week but this time, it's Justin Timberlake who loses a week at the top

So Bieber - Sorry is the only song ever to be officially #1 without ever making #1 on sales.

 

I'm sure this will be repeated many times in the future

Drake gains a record fourth week with Justin Timberlake being denied at the summit for two weeks.
