October 12, 201511 yr I really have to stream The 1975 and Olly now don't I :lol: Great to see ZaraNEK climb a lot since last update, and good to see Ellie's grat almost top 40, as it hit me on the first listen :D Bloody hell, look at the Vamps! :lol: it's Union J all over again :P Sad to see the Duke drive away again down the chart, but it didn't do too badly overall. Good to see Lunch Money Lewis new in the top 100 and Nero + Avicii bagging himself another week in the top 100 with For A Better Day.
October 12, 201511 yr Ooh that's great for John Grant :o glad he's got a Top 10 spot in the bag at least (perhaps Hurts will get there too? Won't hold my breath on that though)
October 12, 201511 yr Obviously I know this isn't true but when it comes to streaming it just feels like they're making things up. paid-for-sales are counted one by one and can eventually stack up to be 100,000 or something like that by the end of the week but with streaming it just feels like numbers are being made up and that has really taken the fun out of following the official chart for me. That's without mentioning the staleness of how streaming has affected the official chart. I don't even listen to the chart show on Radio 1 anymore mainly because of this.
October 12, 201511 yr I think Justin Bieber is an idiot, but I don't mind if he's Number One. There's a mistake on the OCC website: they call Naughty Boy a "London producer" but he's actually from Watford. I also notice the Game album is at both 3 and 43 with different label credits. Is one of them an import.
October 12, 201511 yr Lowest paid-for sales for the official #1 17,694 Orson “No Tomorrow” (19 March 2006) 20,463 Elvis Presley “One Night / I Got Stung” (16 January 2005) 20,669 Leona Lewis “A Moment Like This” (14 January 2007) 21,128 Ciara “Goodies” (23 January 2005) 21,262 Elvis Presley “Jailhouse Rock” (9 January 2005) 21,749 Eric Prydz “Call On Me” (24 October 2004) 21,840 Justin Bieber “What Do You Mean?” (9 October 2015) 21,887 Elvis Presley “It's Now Or Never” (30 January 2005) Edited October 12, 201511 yr by Doctor Blind
October 12, 201511 yr That's without mentioning the staleness of how streaming has affected the official chart. I don't even listen to the chart show on Radio 1 anymore mainly because of this. To be fair there are only 4 songs in the top 25 (which is essentially all they play) that have been in for more than 3 months, one of which has been skipped on the chart for 90% of its run, and two which are still that high on sales anyway. I'm actually finding it to be less of a drag than it sometimes used to be (though seeing the back of all those long running Sam Smith/Ed Sheeran songs is probably contributing to this :P)
October 12, 201511 yr Great to see John Grant doing well, also Selena Gomez, her new album is her best so far imo, if Faithless do hold on to number one, I think that will go down as one of the surprise number ones of the year, also Reverend and The Makers in the top 10
October 12, 201511 yr Runnin for a shock number #1 some time soon please! So much better than all the songs around it.
October 12, 201511 yr It looks like JB will be #1 until the end of the month where KDA will knock him off the top
October 12, 201511 yr 1-53 for The Vamps must be a record! I bet this kind of run will be easily beaten one day. Boybands already have been "cursed" way before streaming combining *cough* Mcfly *cough* so it only make sense that ridiculous runs like this are happening for most boybands of today with streaming added in.

October 13, 201511 yr Janet is still higher than her 2 previous albums ever got, it's a success for her, definitely.
October 13, 201511 yr As Janet has had no promo here yet (besides Ne Sleeep getting AirPlay on 1Xtra and Burnitup! getting some radio 1 plays), I would say it is doing better than expected. It has some really strong material so if Janet does get an X Factor slot as rumoured and pushes the right single, the album could make a resurgence. There is definitely more evidence from Janet's team about increasing her UK profile again, by getting Naughty Boy to do a remixed version of Burnitup! for UK radio (haven't heard his version yet though).
