Ariana is going to be #1 for at least a month isn’t she?

 

X-Mas number 1?

 

She must be in with a bit of a shout

 

 

Could be until the end of the year? Xmas no1?

Oops snap Electroboy!

If she could be #1 until xmas week, get a high playlist position for Santa Tell Me and grab xmas #1 with that instead that'd be great :D

I would t be against that, will have an effect no doubt on how that performs!

Santa Tell Me will be on ACR now, and won't be able to get off it. So sadly not.

Doesn’t it have to be on the chart for 10 weeks though, despite how old it is?

Ah, might be. Didn't know about that!

No, songs older than 3 years are on ACR even if they haven't spent a single week in the chart.

That’s ridiculous! :lol:

It is! Better be a bit within 32 months or it never will be ffs!

That new Cheryl song has to be up for worst pop song of the year??

That’s ridiculous! :lol:

It also means that there won’t be many Christmas songs clogging up the charts this gear

old songs with less than 10 weeks are on normal ratio, not on ACR

the 3-year rule applies to resetting the ratio (you cannot go back from ACR to normal)

 

 

 

Exceptions

Accelerated Chart Ratio cannot be applied to any product with fewer than 9 weeks on chart (ie. ACR can only be applied in its 10th week on the Top 100 chart, at the earliest).

Resets

i) Automatic Reset – a track within the Top 100 on ACR and which is within 3 years of release can automatically return to SCR if it’s combined sales and stream total increases by 50 percentage points greater than the market change week on week. For example, a track with a week on week variance of +39%, in a week where market variance is -11%, would be automatically reset.

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/or CSC approval.

Even last year certain Christmas songs with less than 9 weeks in the chart were on ACR. Regardless of what the rules say, this is how it is.

It's simply ridiculous and like the USA chart. So arbitrary!

At least these posthumous XXXTENTACION releases seem to be having diminishing returns so far. #21 seems surprisingly low for the lead single from his posthumous album, especially when it's literally a minute and a half long. (Will probably do bigger numbers when the album comes out I guess tho)

 

Glad to see Trippie Redd in the top 100 following his album release, 'Topanga' is a tune ~

 

I assume that Imagine Dragons song isn't a Selena Gomez cover? :lol:

Amazing streams for Ariana! I don’t quite get the appeal of the song but great to see her doing well

Yeah but i think they are trying to argue less than 10 weeks ever

That is what Dan was saying. Regardless of what the rules technically say, the OCC *do* put all songs that are over 3 years old on ACR now, whether or not they have 10+ weeks in the chart.
