Does anyone know how far back the 500K streaming points goes for "Wake Me Up", though streaming has come a long way in 5 years, it's kind of crazy to think it's been overtaken by "Lonely Together" when it was once the most streamed song of all time on Spotify :o

Hopefully 'Lonely Together' won't be the last newly released Avicii track to enter the charts. Hopefully he had made at least one track intended for the second EP that can be released.

I hope so too. Perhaps "Friend Of Mine" will get a push given it has a music video. I've actually seen it's now number 1 in Dexton's chart and is likely to shoot up to the same position in mine as I'd coincidentally been charting it over the past month; threw it in my playlist when in Australia because I thought "I need some more Avicii in my life". It's so uplifting :wub:

The start of 2014 I think?

The start of 2014 I think?

That rings a bell - they included streaming from summer 2014 and backdated it to the start of that year I believe for 'total sales'! It was still pretty popular at the turn of the year and "Hey Brother" was high up the charts too I believe.

Ah thanks. Was thinking it had to be somewhere between the original release of the track and when streaming was introduced to the charts, but didn't know when.

Omg at the sales for Wake Me Up!! I thought it was on like 1.2-1.3m.

It's undeniably one of the monster hits of the decade, and even if it weren't for recent tragic events it would've gone on to be one of the best remembered songs of the decade.

Yep I put down 'Wake Me Up' in the Modern Day Classics thread ( http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...09639&st=60 ) long before the recent tragic events.

Very, very tragic. :(

This is awful and even worse than an accidental death for me :(

How can Lonely Together be above Hey Brother on the Dance Chart but be below it on the Official Chart? Is the Dance Chart not just a condensed list of all the eligible entries on the Official one in the same order?

Something to do with ACR maybe? I don't think it affects the dance chart, and it would make sense that Lonely Together would have been hit more by streaming than Hey Brother.

Perhaps, but I would have thought all his tracks were on ACR? Guess it's just the Dance Chart being its typical weird self.

 

Listening back to his discography, Seek Bromance I think has 100% cemented itself as my favourite song of his, it's just SO euphoric :wub:

I was thinking it might be that the dance chart doesn't use ACR, but then I came across this from the W/C 12/01/2018 dance chart:

 

1. MK - 17 (#8 on the official chart)

2. Marshmello feat. Khalid - Silence (#28, while on ACR)

3. Selena Gomez & Marshmello - Wolves (#17)

4. Jax Jones feat. Ina Wroldsen - Breathe (#14)

5. CamelPhat & Elderbrook - Cola (#46, while on ACR)

 

Neither 'Wolves' nor 'Breathe' were on ACR (at least going by the highlighting here), but 'Wolves' was higher on the dance chart, while 'Breathe' was higher on the official chart.

 

It can't be that the dance chart is sales-only, either, as 'Breathe' was #9 on sales while 'Wolves' was #28 (and in general it would probably look really different if it were sales-only).

 

So I don't know, but I'm intrigued so hopefully someone does!

Does it include other industry information, like airplay?

It's a combination of sales/streaming as far as I'm aware, with streaming taking a massively dominant effect. ACR is not used at all on the dance chart or any of the other charts aside from the UK Singles Chart.

Maybe it's still compiled with a 100:1 ratio? That could explain 'Lonely Together' and 'Wolves'.
