The OCC just announced on twitter! :o I'm not a fan but will be interesting to see how this affects the chart in the future.

 

1:300 will be the standard ratio for YT streams and it will go to 1:600 for songs on ACR.

 

Will probably just have the effect of giving Ed and Drake even longer chart runs :drama:

April's fools ofcourse however very believable. Reckon it's a matter of when not if.

count for certification?

Oh ffs YET ANOTHER April Fools Day joke on the Chart forum :drama: :lol:

if only :P

If (or when) it does happen I hope the ratio is more like 1000:1!

They must be really intent on stopping One Dance from being the first song to spent 120 weeks at #1.

When this happens, I'm out. Do unpaid-for Spotify streams count towards the chart? Insane if so.

Yes, all unpaid for streaming is counted.

Thank CHRIST this was an April fool.
