April 9, 20187 yr Do album streams massively affect the overall chart? How does it work with Spotify when people are generally streaming tracks, rather than downloading a whole album? Sorry if a dumb question, but I'm learning... :P Could streaming additions stop Kylie getting #1? TGS amassed around 12k 'sales' from streams last week, so I doubt it will push them ahead given that figure is likely to decline this week..

April 9, 20187 yr Author Dumb question, but with regards to Thursday streams always being estimated by the OCC, is that just done by adding 16.67% (ie the average of the prior 6 days) to the counted streams? I doubt it will affect the result of the chart to any note, but it would mean that Drake's Saturday released single would get a relatively slight underestimation compared to everything else that had streams on Friday. It's an estimate based on the trends throughout the week, so if Drake increases every day prior to Thursday, the upweighted streams will have him increasing again.
April 9, 20187 yr Wonderful start for Kylie. I would think she should manage a further 10,000 for the remainder of the week. With its current sales it has already surpassed Kiss Me Once opening sales . I greatly welcome Kylie having 2 top 40 entries although both will fall dramatically as the week progresses and streams are counted in. Both singles could possibly achieve new peaks this week for Kylie.

April 9, 20187 yr On a positive note it is shaping up to be the first Friday Chart Predictions thread this year to exceed 10 pages - the charts have been a bit predictable this year so far but at least there are some genuine battles this week, long may it continue...

April 9, 20187 yr If there was a 'revenue' chart Kylie would be even further ahead! It's a music business after all, the idea is to make money. She's not getting 5 sales for every £50 super deluxe sold. She doesn't need the cassette sales anyway to be number 1. She is miles ahead in every format except streaming. Even that is going to be better than expected I'm sure. As we have seen with recent releases, her core buying fanbase has really fallen so I don't think it is right to assume she is number 1 because of fan multi buyers....it's more to do with a slow burning campaign since mid January, the singles are strong enough and she has won back old fans who probably haven't bought an album of hers since X or Aphrodite.
April 9, 20187 yr Perhaps bathgate has helped :lol: The use of the suffix "gate" is very lazy and should be banned. In other words, Bathgate no more.

Well Said! Brilliant. and still lots more promo to come. Cant wait for Stop Me From Falling be a top 40 hit a few weeks time
April 9, 20187 yr Cant wait for Stop Me From Falling be a top 40 hit a few weeks time Any update on the Gente de Zona remix?
April 9, 20187 yr Any update on the Gente de Zona remix? pretty sure it is being released 20th April. promo that week includes Sounds Like Friday Night Queen's Birthday Gig. reduce original to 59p, release Gente remix and video. would be my plan :dance: :yahoo: :w00t: :cheer:
April 9, 20187 yr Yeah, all the Gente de Zona fans will be on it that week as well as Kylie fans. Top 40? Pffft more like top 1. Edited April 9, 20187 yr by Midge

April 9, 20187 yr I’m assuming you mean top 40 on iTunes for a day or two? I assume the Queen's birthday performance would get MASSIVE coverage?
April 9, 20187 yr I assume the Queen's birthday performance would get MASSIVE coverage? It's set to clash with BGT, so ratings won't be as high as they could be.
