Once it's had 3 weeks of decline, it's then on ACR the following week...

 

Unless its sales increase by fifty percent.

Unless its sales increase by fifty percent.

It's fifty percent more than how the overall market performs (i.e. if overall sales rose by 5% then ACR would be avoided by the track recording a 55% sales increase, if overall sales fell by 5% then the sales increase needed would be 45%).

On what ratio is Swish Swish? No clue

But it is >10 weeks old

SCR. It got a manual reset I think.

SCR. It got a manual reset I think.

The new version of the chart rules states that to get a manual reset a track needs to be outside the top 100 when the label makes the request to the OCC for a reset (and a week's notice needs to be given). I've just checked its chart run and it hasn't fallen from the top 100 at any point so far.

 

This will be the last week for 'Know No Better' and 'Signs' before they move to ACR. I'd expect both to have massive drops as they're streaming-dominant.

and this seems to be happening just as I predicted. KNB possibly set to drop out of the top 50 and Signs well outside the top 60.

 

next week's casualties will likely be 'Feels', 'Came Here For Love', 'XO TOUR Llif3', 'There For You' and 'Aladdin' (though it's quite possible that 'TOUR' could record a sales boost as it's been increasing on streaming due to the release of his album)

Thas a shame, TOUR is the only one of those I particularly dislike :lol:

So Feels is on ACR this week. Could potentially have a similar drop to Wild Thoughts/Unforgettable.

 

 

Surely swish swish sales have been increasing the last few weeks to avoid ACR anyway (although not significant enough to dent the charts until this week)

It should have gone ACR the week it fell from number 52 to number 98. That was its 10th week in the top 100 and it had been in decline for at least three weeks at week 9. It looks like it has had what the OCC term a "manual reset" to go back to SCR, which would be the point at which it climbed from 94 to 59. However if this is the case - and it certainly appears to be so unless it had a sudden natural sales growth

of at least 51.84% that week (outperforming the market by 50% or more and the market grew that week by 1.84%) - then the OCC are not even following their own chart rule on manual resets. That rule says:

 

6.3 Resets

 

i) Automatic Reset – a track on ACR can automatically return to SCR if its combined sales and stream total increases by 50% greater than the market change week on week.

 

ii) Manual Reset – In exceptional circumstances, where a track is being scheduled for promotion, a label may elect to manually reset a track to SCR. This manual reset is limited to two tracks per artist album, only where the track in question is outside the Top 100 and subject to one week’s notice being given from the releasing label that they wish to implement a manual reset. Manual reset shall be strictly subject to Official Charts and CSC approval.

 

For 6.3 (ii) to apply the track must be outside the top 100 when the manual reset request is made. In this case 'Swish Swish' wasn't unless for this particular rule the "top 100" is the for-industry-eyes-only Top 200 which doesn't apply the ACR rule (nor does it restrict acts to the 3 track rule). On that version of the chart 'Swish Swish' would definitely have been outside the top 100. But if that is the case it just causes confusion as all other references to the top 100 in the Singles Chart Rules refer to the official, published top 100 that is available to view at the OCC website. Possibly it did experience natural and accelerated growth when it made that big jump back up the chart, which would automatically reset it to SCR. But the fact it then just climbed one place the following week suggests this may not be the case.

These new rules are so f***** up. :D

midweek update:

13-26 Came Here For Love

49-OUT There For You

76-OUT Aladdin

 

'XO TOUR Llif3' not on ACR yet as it has sunk to only #32 so far.

i have tried this 20 times a week but unable to do so.

It should have gone ACR the week it fell from number 52 to number 98. That was its 10th week in the top 100 and it had been in decline for at least three weeks at week 9. It looks like it has had what the OCC term a "manual reset" to go back to SCR, which would be the point at which it climbed from 94 to 59.

Nope, you're right Robbie - “Swish Swish” sold 3,671 copies at #94, 1816 paid-for and 1855 'streaming sales' (on ACR) having increased total sales by a measly 1% on the previous week [incidentally whilst at #94 she was at #81 on the 'old rules' OCC Top 100 with sales of 5,526], then magically the track was reset to SCR the following week, therefore climbing to #59, despite not satisfying any of the OCC rules above. They are making it up as they go along...

I think they kinda ignored the rule that it has to be out of the top 100

Which is a silly rule

Agreed, a pointless rule really and it's fair to reset Swish Swish when it's only just impacting as a single!

This is so biased to KP that's ridiculous they need to show consistency or remove the rule

I expect it's all about the money.

Don't get me wrong I love swish swish but you can't have 1 rule for 1 and another for another

But we havent had any other case
