LIFECHANGING REVELATION

Bruno's sound on his new album is different from his previous two albums. If he had come out with another "Locked Out of Heaven" or "Just The Way You Are" then he would be shifting more albums.

 

I'm sure Bruno will be selling into 2017 whereas Ball/Boe will fall away soon after new year!

Seeing Rag'n'Bones increase today do you think that it could be enough to get the N.2 instead of Louis/Matt?

No way, he will definitely be #4 this week.

 

The only battle is Louis and Matt, which I think could go either way, but think Matt will end up just managing the #2 spot.

I wish people would get over songs more easily. The only one week number one this year was Pillowtalk wasn't it?! Like, there's other songs out there! It's not even that the song on top is THAT popular, it's just that they continually stream it.

Fair play to Matt for challenging for the #2 spot and still holding on at #1 on iTunes - maybe physicals could have made the difference.

 

Waiting for that 2-1-38-Out chart run now though :kink:

Amazing that Lady Gaga is getting another top 40 hit from Joanne, it's not really an album made for charts

At least it makes for a change from the days of old where we'd get about 10 one-week number ones in a row and it became all too predictable who was going to enter at #1 weeks in advance.

 

'Rockabye' deserves all the weeks it can get as it's clearly shown itself to be a very popular hit ^_^

It has had the longest consecutive run at #1 on the sales chart of the year (5 weeks so far...) so surely must be quite popular.

 

In an OA/OS environment there have only been 19 number 1s on the singles sales chart this year, and only four 1-week stays which is a little more normal and less manipulated IMO.

Tied with "7 Years" which also spent five consecutive weeks at the top of the sales chart

Exactly which is why "One Dance" was #1 for so long because people wouldn't get over that song

'Rockabye' feels like a much bigger hit than 'One Dance' and 'Closer' to me and I really don't know why it feels like that to me. I just get the feeling that more people (average Joe public) would recognise Clean Bandit than they would the other 2!

I like Rockabye a lot, but I don't feel it deserves to be as big a hit as it's chart run dictates. It feels like a 2/3 week at no.1 as apposed to a 5/6 weeker. Plus it's not as seminal as Rather Be, yet it's already outdone that.

 

Still, I'd rather it was at no.1 this week then the likes of Matt or Louis.

Rockabye is a jam!

Rather Be was out at a time where streaming wasn't counted towards the charts, I'm sure it would've spent about 8 weeks at #1 in the current chart climate as it was huge on streams!

That's been the theme of 2016 #1's in general tbh.

So having been out of the loop, for like a bit, what's the formula for how many streams to make one sale?

Louisa also had physical copies in the shops where matt DOESN'T so that gained some sales for her, Cant remember her first week physical sales but expect it to be a few thousand.

 

She had sold 50,000 by the end of the year (and around 80k in total), so fair to say physicals probably made up 15-20,000 of her sales in her opening week.

100 streams.

100 streams.

Thanks!
