November 2, 20195 yr Ouch at PSB, I thought they might actually stay top 100 as they were top 50 in the mids iirc! (Westlife managed to barely stick in and they were slightly lower in the mids). I hadn't been following Kanye on iTunes at all, didn't realise that 'Follow God' was actually selling a few copies on top of its streams. Smasha.

November 19, 20195 yr Must Be must be the first Top 5 song to not to make the sales top 40 other than the Drake album tracks last year.

I'm tempted to leave this behind seeing as paid for sales are almost completely irrelevant in the singles chart at this stage. Alternatively if anyone would like to take this over then also state your interest.
December 8, 20195 yr Personally I think it'll become even more interesting considering that #1 sales singles might not even make the chart more often next year after it inevitably happened this week so I would like this to continue as we can analyse who are still 'sales artists' and see other trends like 'sales genres'. Plus sales might still make a small difference at the top at least.
December 8, 20195 yr I still enjoying reading your analysis. Still a bit of life left in it. Edited December 8, 20195 yr by zenon
December 8, 20195 yr I enjoy the info and as GW said it's only going to get more interesting as sales are even lower.
December 8, 20195 yr I'd definitely like to see this continuing if only to document how quickly sales continue to slide into total irrelevance ('Run' being #1 on sales and #87 overall :lol: surely won't be too long until there's a sales #1 that misses the top 100 entirely).

They'd have missed the top 100 entirely if ACR weren't a thing.
December 8, 20195 yr I'd be grateful to see this continue in some form - I'm most interested to know where there are big differences e.g. Top 10 on sales but not Top 40 officially and vice versa.
