I thought it would be an interesting idea to track all the top 40 entries that will be effected by the new 300:1 ratio after a certain point when it comes into force, so when a chart comes out I'll post out all the entries that have been effected and also include entries that qualify for the following week.

I'm here for all those falling and giving new peaks for Selena, Imagine Dragons, Camila etc...

Would "Despacito" qualify for 300:1 streaming ratio too? Hope it does so "Wild Thoughts" has got a chance of climbing to No 1 next week.

Not yet, it increased a couple of weeks ago, so its 3 week counter is currently on 1.

Damn, hopefully "Despacito" will just keep falling in sales now.

I was thinking that as well, if it increases next week the counter is reset to 0 :lol: it be weird if the track starts yo-yoing just to stay at #1 :(

well if it increases its sales count then it's clearly popular enough to stay at #1. :P

Does it still count if it increases by 1 unit :lol:

I've added Shape Of You to the potential list as according to the Friday Chart Predictions thread it's sales went down last week despite climbing a few places and would also be its third successive week of sinking sales.

 

Feel free to correct me if I've missed any other potential 300:1 entrants or included any by mistake.

I'm confused now, you mean I've only got these five right?

Some of them may have had a slight sales rise on the week of 29/6, but we won't really know until Friday.

Looking at the midweeks, these songs have been affected:

 

There's Nothing Holding Me Back

Shape of You

Symphony

Galway Girl

Something Just Like This

On My Mind

Did You See

Castle on the Hill (possibly, could just be a naturally large fall)

Skin

Mask Off

Places

'Castle On The Hill' recorded a sales increase last week (sales to Thursday 29/06) so unless there's backdating of the rules (which I'm convinced there isn't beyond the previous two weeks) then the record shouldn't be hit by ACR this week... it was the only track with 10+ weeks that was inside the top 40 last Friday to record a sales increase. It shouldn't be affected by ACR next week (sales to Thursday 13/07) either as it will only be week 2 of a sales decline (assuming it declines this week, which seems likely).

 

Other long running records to record a sales increase inside the top 75 last week include 'Mr Brightside', 'Rockabye', 'Perfect' and 'What Do I Know'. The last two, both Ed Sheeran tracks, should disappear on Friday under the "three tracks" rule. The first two should have at least another week in the top 100, assuming either sell enough, after the chart published on Friday.

Updated second post, decided to only highlight big or stand out drops.

What songs qualify for ACR this week, then?

Are you only doing records in the top 40, or were there just not any casualties outside the top 40?

Just the top 40.

Oh yeah you said in the first post, soz! Did you manage to work out how many weeks of decline these had? I make it that they were all on at least 4 last week, but it's difficult to tell
