The thread hasn't been updated in a while and a new thread titled "Changes in top 40 weeks due to streaming (2017)" needs to be started

Edited December 24, 20168 yr by Hadji

I think Saturn 7 breaks the record for highest sales position not to be official top 40 in the same week.

Some huge changes especially for the charity releases.

 

Gaga really underperforms on streaming yet you would think she would have the kind of fan base that would be more open to using streaming sites.

I'll make a new thread for 2017 ready for next week's chart (6th Jan) fyi!

149 (35) Honey G - The Honey G Show

 

Disappointing but expected for George Michael.

 

And Honey G was even a huge flop with just sales only - the record buying public clearly are not interested in the 'Honey G Show' :lol:

edited; Shaky isn't actually top 100 this week and Alessia Cara is #83.

Also, I can't believe how much ZAYN is flopping on sales at the moment. Imagine if they had kept it off Spotify, it'd be out of the top 100 already!!

I swear everything he touches post 'Pillowtalk' flops (even including the album). I still think it's criminal that 'Cruel' wasn't massive.

I wonder if from next week, a new thread will be started on which songs gained and lost weeks due to the ratio change?

No chance of that because we only get the sales/streams for selected positions.

Shaky's Merry Xmas Everyone is the first overall top 20 success that's not even in the sales top 100.
