May 29, 20187 yr Great work on these lists Dan! So Bieber was the very first to achieve this then and I think because of the artist cap now in effect Drake will never be overtaken here!
May 29, 20187 yr I hate how Male dominated this is Yep on the "biggest beneficiaries" list there's literally 2 female artists and 17 male. This is my main beef with streaming - it's SO male dominated ugh. Edited May 29, 20187 yr by cantthinkofaname
May 29, 20187 yr That's mostly because the vast majority of songs which are streaming hits but not so much sales hits are hip-hop songs, and hip-hop as a genre is about 95% male dominated as far as the mainstream goes.
June 4, 20187 yr Better Now has now made the sales top 40, so Drake's Blem tops this list once again. Not sure if this has been suggested elsewhere, but I'd like to see OCC cap the streaming equivalent sales awarded to a song in any given week to a maximum proportion of its overall sales. For example if a song has actual sales of 2,000 copies in a week, its SES could be capped at a maximum of, say, 9 times this amount (18,000) so that its combined sales for the week are capped at a maximum of 10 times its actual sales (20,000). Admittedly this would be a fairly short term solution while actual sales as a whole are still significant. However they could then ditch the 3-songs-per-lead-artist cap as songs which are streamed heavily as album tracks but have low individual actual sales would not flood the chart as they did before the current rules came in, while artists with multiple songs with strong sales in their own right would no longer be penalised as they are now.
September 4, 20186 yr Author Updated. Of course Drake became the first artist to get a top 5 hit without making the sales top 40, which he got two of. He now extends his lead as the biggest 'beneficiary' with 15 (and 16 if you count 'Sicko Mode'). He'd still be on top excluding album tracks that would now fall under exclusion rules, with 7.
May 12, 20196 yr Author Updated. Changes to the list of artists with the most 'beneficiaries' of new chart rules: 09 - Dave 05 - 6ix9ine † 05 - J. Cole † 04 - AJ Tracey † 04 - MoStack † 03 - Fredo 03 - Hardy Caprio † 03 - Khalid 03 - Yxng Bane 02 - 21 Savage 02 - Billie Eilish 02 - Dappy 02 - D-Block Europe † 02 - DigDat † 02 - Kehlani 02 - Steel Banglez 02 - The Plug † 02 - Tion Wayne 02 - Yungen † artist has never had a sales top 40 single Dave is now 2nd in the list, overtaking XXXTENTACION (3rd with 8), and behind Drake who has 18.
