Boo at Halsey increasing her lead from Mark

Do we think Ellie could finish higher than #18?

 

Dalton is at #17, so maybe streams could benefit Ellie?

It appears to be not the case, 'Arms Around You' is still appearing in the midweek update alongside XXX's 3 other songs.

 

Another count of the OCC being massively inconsistent then, yay ~

 

I guess the justification is that 'Arms Around You' is probably going to be for Lil Pump's album (if it's ever released) so it's being counted to him rather than X but that's a very weak justification if so.

Driving home for Xmas was part of the Xmas EP that Chris Rea released in 88, peaking at #53 and barely had any impact

never troubled the charts during the physical CDs era and only started charting in 2006 thanks to downloads and been a regular ever since

peaking last year thanks to streams

 

these are the peaks of the song for all Xmas since 2007:

Driving home for Xmas/33 (Xmas 2007)

Driving home for Xmas/53 (2008)

Driving home for Xmas/40 (2009)

Driving home for Xmas/67 (2010)

Driving home for Xmas/36 (2011)

Driving home for Xmas/36 (2012)

Driving home for Xmas/53 (2013)

Driving home for Xmas/43 (2014)

I really dislike DHFC. It's so bland and very Dad "I'm a fan of real muzakkk" MOR. Mehhhh.

Is Cher still top 65?

Oops Carpenters out of the Top 5 now and still showing 19.5k like yesterday. They must have sold some more!

I can't be doing with it being Mark Ronson feat Miley Cyrus. Nobody is buying the song because it's Mark Ronson. Just like nobody bought Uptown Funk because it was Mark Ronson and not Bruno Mars... :rolleyes:

But the song wouldn't be what it is without Mark Ronson's input... :P

I think Mark Ronson's name has some gravitas in itself. But anyway, it's completely right it should be this way as it IS his song that he made and concepted FEATURING that artist. It isn't their song.

It's the same situation as any of the big DJ's (David Guetta, Kygo, Martin Garrix), they've all released absolute stinkers with low-profile artists and bombed on the charts. As soon as you pop a big name on it, everyone is suddenly interested, nobody buys the music because of the DJ's name. Obviously there are exceptions, but the same principles apply to MR and MC.

It didn't chart in 2006, it charted in 2007. All your values until 2013 are a year too early and you've duplicated 2012/2013.

 

It was #33 in 2007, #53 in 2008, #40 in 2009, #67 in 2010, #36 in 2011, #36 in 2012, #53 in 2013, #43 in 2014, #29 in 2015, #26 in 2016, #14 in 2017 and #49 so far in 2018.

This just in: artists aren't allowed to be credited for their own songs if they have collaborators that bring in more attention.

THIS!

 

Nobody calls it, whoever the composer is featuring Rihanna - What Now. It is Rihanna - What Now!!

That's because she's the only credited artist for that song. :lol:

Yea but she didn't make it and still got 100% credit for making it famous!

Why can people not just accept that a song is a combination of both and although the name will have a small affect if Nothing Breaks Like a Heart was rubbish song it would flop, but it's a great track and that's why it continues to sell!

If it was Mark Ronson featuring some other big name artist I'm sure the song would do just as well. It's the quality of the song that's mostly selling it not Miley, just look at how 'well' Younger Now did.

The above is allowed under Singles chart rules:

 

5.1 Criteria for Combining Transactions

 

5.1d

i) A maximum of three singles within the Top 100 by the same artist will be chart eligible. These will be the three most popular singles in a week based on combined sales and streams. (Also see 5.0 Exclusions)

 

ii) In the case of singles featuring a secondary artist(s), they will only count towards the primary named artist’s maximum of three chart eligible singles.

 

iii) In the case of singles that are equal collaborations between two or more artists, a single will count towards the maximum of three chart eligible singles of the artist on the releasing label.

 

iv) Where all collaborating artists appear on the same label releasing a single, the releasing label must nominate the primary artist.

 

'Arms Around You' is covered by the bit in bold. It's an equal collaboration and is on a different label to XXXTentacion's three tracks therefore forms one of a three track limit for Lil Pump.
