Think it also says how unimportant the itunes chart is becoming. By the end of the year sales will be completely dwarfed by streaming sales.

just given the topic a subtitle x

 

Lol at how uneventful this week is turning out to be though.

Cheap Thrills up to 3. Could this be a future no 1?

It looks like Mike Posner could be a long running number 1 too. Next week seems dead too :o

Sia is still #4 though, Lukas Graham edging it to #2 with two versions.

 

Really hoping 'Cheap Thrills' will bring Sia her first top-5 as a lead artist!

Cheap Thrills is #3 on my iTunes!

 

Really hope that or work from home can make the top spot, by far the best tracks at the top of the charts right now :wub:

Lukas Graham at 5 and 17 which gives a #2 combined

Lukas Graham at 5 and 17 which gives a #2 combined

just to be precise, Sia is still number 4 when we combine her two version. You just forgot to mention ;)

combining...

 

1 Mike Posner 1.0000

2 5H 0.7600

3 Lukas Graham 0.7528

4 Sia 0.7076

5 Sigala 0.6387

6 Lush Life 0.6344

7 Blonde 0.5138

 

Lukas Graham lost 0.04 in the last update, a dramatic decrease compared to how it's been going recently

Almost everything decreased, it's due to Mike Posner increasing rather than Lukas Graham actually declining in sales :P

But 5th Harmony only lost 0.01, which is why I highlighted it as it means 5H have gained in the battle of a sort for 2nd :P

That's a shame really, the ever changing nature of the iTunes chart in it's heyday between 2010-2013 and the massive effect that it had on the Official chart was fascinating to see. When it comes to streaming you can't instantly see how the chart is being affected, you have to wait until the following day at the earliest to see how the chart has updated which is boring imo. Also it tends to be the same songs in almost the same positions every day.
