Due to record label pressure the Official Charts Company have announced that in the wake of Ed Sheeran's recent top 20 domination, album tracks will no longer be eligible to count in the singles chart unless they are released as singles. The change will take effect from April 14th. Thank god for that.

In other news, Steps have climbed to #1 on Spotify. Finally!

Yeah yeah :kink:

Good April Fools jokes do have an element of truth. It could be true. And I hope it is. But they won't react this quickly. Would they?

You got my hopes up then :(

Same

I knew it was an April Fool's joke but I hoped it was true

I knew this would come up as an April Fools' in the chart forum :lol:

They also announced that streaming will be removed from the singles chart but there will be a new combined sales chart which will include sales and streaming

Boo just when the Chart turnover was speeding up.

I wish it was true till I read the rest of the topic, :lol: than I suddenly realised it was 1st April -_-

I was thinking "Oh no", then I realised it was April 1st. I think it's a terrible idea and I'm relieved this isn't true.

yeah yeah April Fool
