Posted August 4, 20197 yr Ultimate 'Casualties of Streaming' Rate: THE RESULTS Join me this afternoon at the traditional chart show slot of 4pm as we count down the Top 40 songs that missed the Top 40 due to the addition of streaming to the singles chart! Until then any predictions are welcome.
August 4, 20197 yr Think its gonna be the battle of the fuego-lovers vs the fuego-haters :) How many voted?
August 4, 20197 yr Losing It would be my prediction but I wasn't following the voting thread closely.
August 4, 20197 yr hope indie/alt songs do well but haven't seen many voting for those, seen more votes for dance songs I think or silly throwaway tracks ala Fuego :D
August 4, 20197 yr Author 40. Flume feat. Tove Lo ~ Say It hZe5K1DN4ec Year charted: 2016 Official chart peak: #69 Sales chart peak: #33 Points scored in final: 91 Group position: 4th Points scored in group: 64 Flume briefly made the sales chart with 'Say It' thanks to the release of a Clean Bandit remix, although the original sold better in the long-term. It still remains his highest charting song to date as both it and 'Never Be Like You' were truly robbed of being hit singles despite R1 support. 39. Ariana Grande feat. Mac Miller ~ The Way _sV0S8qWSy0 Year charted: 2017 [originally 2013] Official chart peak: #41 Sales chart peak: #37 Points scored in final: 92 Group position: 5th Points scored in group: 78 Originally her first charting hit from before she was the huge popstar she is today, 'The Way' briefly re-entered the sales chart following her performance of it at the Manchester benefit concert alongside ex boyfriend Mac Miller (RIP).
August 4, 20197 yr Author 38. Clean Bandit feat. Stylo G ~ Come Over aaXDzh_zoqM Year charted: 2014 Official chart peak: #45 Sales chart peak: #38 Points scored in final: 99 Group position: 2nd Points scored in group: 91 Following the huge 'Rather Be' and the top 5 hit 'Extraordinary' Clean Bandit struggled to get a post-album hit. 'Come Over', with vocals from Grace and Stylo G just missed out and they quickly made another Jess Glynne collab for their next release. 37. Ferreck Dawn & Redondo ~ Love Too Deep YuWfQPJoLw0 Year charted: 2014 Official chart peak: #48 Sales chart peak: #34 Points scored in final: 99 Group position: 3rd Points scored in group: 91 One of my personal favourites of the deep house era, this with its 'Show Me Love' sample (alongside a more prominent sample of another song whose title escapes me) should have been massive but sadly became one of the first streaming casualties.
August 4, 20197 yr Author 36. Louisa Johnson ~ Best Behaviour 1sA7Ojgzzus Year charted: 2017 Official chart peak: #48 Sales chart peak: #17 Points scored in final: 100 Group position: 4th Points scored in group: 77 Following her X Factor win she had a decent sized top 20 hit in 'So Good' but struggled to get a hit ever since, with this and 'Yes' both failing to reach the top 40 and now she seems destined to forever guest on dance DJ singles. 35. Just Us ~ Cloudbusting JbXf5AZPEgw Year charted: 2017 Official chart peak: DNC Sales chart peak: #39 Points scored in final: 100 Group position: 2nd Points scored in group: 84 Sampling the Kate Bush song and turning it into a dance anthem, sadly this completely failed to take off on streaming which in 2017 meant no official chart peak.
August 4, 20197 yr Author Break-tie criteria? Top 75 later? :unsure: Number of positive points -> Number of votes -> Top score Revealed at the end
August 4, 20197 yr Author 34. DJ Fresh feat. Ellie Goulding ~ Flashlight ROsxbdbLviE Year charted: 2014 Official chart peak: #47 Sales chart peak: #35 Points scored in final: 100 Group position: 3rd Points scored in group: 67 As streaming was starting to go in, DJ Fresh was starting to go out, and even an Ellie feature couldn't get this into the top 40. To be fair it's not one of his best singles anyway. 33. Years & Years ~ All For You vwFVDxDIvHg Year charted: 2018 Official chart peak: #47 Sales chart peak: #39 Points scored in final: 103 Group position: 1st Points scored in group: 99 Following a big return with 'If You're Over Me' Years & Years struggled to get a follow-up hit even with this better single, until they guested on a Jax Jones song later that year.
August 4, 20197 yr Flume - Say it, the best of the ones we've had so far saw Tove Lo play it live and was really great
August 4, 20197 yr I thought Flashlight would do better because there are some big Ellie Goulding fans here.
August 4, 20197 yr Author 32. George Ezra ~ Listen To The Man ZS0WvzRVByg Year charted: 2014 Official chart peak: #41 Sales chart peak: #30 Points scored in final: 106 Group position: 2nd Points scored in group: 84 After two massive hits George got very close to getting another top 40 hit with this but the album had already sold a lot by this point so #41 wasn't too bad for it. 31. Disclosure feat. Gregory Porter ~ Holding On 3mmTMSZkXQY Year charted: 2015 Official chart peak: #46 Sales chart peak: #28 Points scored in final: 107 Group position: 1st Points scored in group: 114 Disclosure's return sadly saw them struggle to get another top 40 with both this and 'Bang That' (#52 in this countdown) before they did a second Sam Smith collab.
August 4, 20197 yr Author 30. Andy C & Fiora ~ Heartbeat Loud 8lN0xBGWL-E Year charted: 2014 Official chart peak: #50 Sales chart peak: #34 Points scored in final: 108 Group position: 6th Points scored in group: 48 One of the biggest names in drum n' bass did a rare commercial single in 2014 but unfortunately that was not enough to get him a second top 40 hit following his 2001 #28 hit 'Body Rock'. 29. Kiiara ~ Gold sO9cBXRcBvo Year charted: 2016 Official chart peak: #48 Sales chart peak: #35 Points scored in final: 109 Group position: 5th Points scored in group: 80 This felt like a big hit and it did spend a decent amount of time in the chart but this was back in 2016 when top 40 turnover was slower than ever. She fell off the radar fast afterwards however aside from a Linkin Park collab.
