Look at its position on the iTunes chart.

So this rule is only about declining in actual sales for 3 weeks and not the combined 'sales'?

That is how I interpreted the official statement. Looks like they are trying to keep download/physical sales as the key focus of the chart.

That would be a very silly rule then, as we all know download sales of songs tend to be front loaded for new songs and many songs may have their first 3 weeks decrease in sales. It surely means combined sales as streaming is slower to take off and offsets the rapid decrease of download sales.

Remember it only comes in after 10 weeks on chart though.

I don't know why you guys think they're talking about paid for sales. Why would they do that? It's clearly combined sales they're talking about.

That's what I thought and now I'm confused :lol:

Yeah I imagine it must be "Chart sales" as they like to call it. If they're bringing this rule to the "Official" Chart, that is the combined one they broadcast on radio 1, then surely the term "sale" refers to a combined unit.

MW have new midweeks :w00t:

 

Despacito (66,092 sales) is at No.1 ahead of Bridge Over Troubled Water, the Grenfell Tower charity single (58,402 sales).

Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (24,531 sales) in at No.1 ahead of Radiohead’s reissued OK Computer (23,729 sales).

 

#21 Smile for Bradley

#25 Signs

An update is coming shortly, once a chart mod is available.

I wonder if this could be the midweeks for yesterday (Wednesday) as Music Week have posted

 

NB: The Music Week Sales Flash arrives a day later than normal this week due to an issue with the Official Charts Company website.

 

Either way, it's good to see them arrive, eventually!

 

It could be the mids for Thursday though...

So many new albums and Divide goes back to #1. Hope Calvin can dethrone Ed next week instead of being 2014 all over again

I did wonder if these were for yesterday at first, an issue with OCC sounds intriguing :mellow:

I wonder if Artists For Grenfell are safe at number 2. DJ Khaled feat. Rihanna & Bryson Tiller could overtake them with their big streaming advantage. :P

is Rita safe at #10 or could Ed overtake?

 

Rita is miles away on iTunes and they seem kinda tied on Spotify when you combine both versions of Shape

We don't have sales info I'm afraid! She looked fine for #10 on Tuesday though.

When we get info from MW ONLY top 5 sales are given.
