Ultimate 'Casualties of Streaming' Rate

 

picture-116.png

 

Believe it or not, we are approaching the 5th anniversary of the chart as we knew it being changed forever with the addition of streaming equivalent sales to the chart! What was perhaps a controversial move at the time quickly became a necessity to keep the chart relevant but this unfortunately meant a lot of great songs (and even more not-so great songs) were denied of a top 40 position. For further insight, you can view this thread and the accompanying links.

 

In this rate, which follows UK #1s in the Ultimate series, we'll be finding which of these songs most deserved an official top 40 peak... but firstly we need to wade through all the filler. Over 450 songs will be eligible for this contest (to be clear: all the songs below made the top 40 in the sales only chart, but did not in the official chart). These will be randomised and split into 12 groups (any songs that fit the criteria within the month of June 2019 will be placed in the later groups).

 

2 groups will be open each week. There will be many songs in each group but only the top five will be guaranteed a place in the final whilst the rest of the top 10 will go to the play-off round. In the event where any of these songs do make the official top 40 they will be removed from the competition.

 

Simply vote from 5 to 10 songs in each group using the Eurovision voting format. If you want to remind yourself of the songs then click on the Spotify playlists provided.

Kamaliya in the rate :lol:

She has three more songs to come too!! I'm surprised the OCC didn't disqualify her but I suppose barely anyone looks at the sales only chart.

Just found out Led Zep didn't have any singles chart in the UK other than a 1997 re-release. Any specific reason for this or were they just one of the original 'album' acts?

^^ Led Zeppelin didn't release singles at the time except for that one live version of 'Whole Lotta Love'. They also have 'Stairway To Heaven' as a top 40 hit as it entered in 2007 when they released their stuff to iTunes.

I don't think they ever released any singles in the UK during their original run. According to Wikipedia they did have singles in other countries which is news to me x

Seems like a strange choice as they charted in several other countries, but fair enough :P
