March 7Mar 7 This week "Messy" is one of those very rare tracks that is number 1 in both sales and streaming but, due to ACR, not number 1 overall.I think this happened to Despacito in 2017, can anyone think of any other instances?
March 7Mar 7 w/e 11 July 2019 - 'Old Town Road' was #1 on Sales, Audio Streaming, Video Streaming and combined Streaming, but #7 officially, and even if it hadn't been on ACR it would have been #2 behind 'I Don't Care', evidently because the latter must have had a stronger ratio of premium (paid) streams.There have probably been other occasions, but none immediately spring to mind.

Own It official number 1.w/e 2 April 2020 Blinding Lights. Roses official number 1.These were number one on combined streaming and sales, but number 2 officially.
March 11Mar 11 I really don't think ACR should affect the No.1 spot. If a song is No.1 for 10+ weeks let it have all its weeks at No.1 THEN put it on ACR.
March 11Mar 11 I like the idea of the #1 spot immunity from ACR. I get how it’s created to push fresher songs up but denying literally the most popular song #1 no matter how many weeks it’s been there seems a bit forced.But it could also be my OCD speaking looking at those ugly ass 1-1-1-1-1-1-8-out-12-7-14 chart runs. (Also judging the 3-song rule a bit oops)
March 11Mar 11 Am I correct in understanding that there's not been a song that would be #1, but misses out due to being on ACR and never actually gets there officially? I've felt for a while that the nature of chart runs nowadays runs a bit afoul of ACR's rigid system and it's totally possible, so I'm surprised if it still hasn't.

March 14Mar 14 Messy drops to number 11 tonight. Its ACR sales are 22,188 - however it would still be number 1 if on SCR with pre-adjusted sales of 42,705 compared to Pink Pony Club at number 1 with sales of 39,032.
March 14Mar 14 “APT.” confirmed as having a record 10th week at #2 on old rules. “Pink Pony Club” still hasn’t climbed higher than #3.
June 27Jun 27 Manchild by Sabrina Carpenter number 1 tonight on SCR sales of 45,756.Ordinary by Alex Warren dropped from 1 to 9 on ACR sales of 28,702 but would still be number 1 if on SCR with sales of 56,289.
June 27Jun 27 So the top 10 total SCR weeks at #1 is now:18 I Believe 16 (Everything I Do) I Do It for You15 Love Is All Around15 One Dance15 Dance Monkey15 Last Christmas14 Bohemian Rhapsody14 Shape of You14 Despacito14 Ordinary
June 27Jun 27 'Last Christmas' is actually on 16 weeks! (It added an extra non-official week last year when 'That's So True' was on its 5th week at #1 officially.)
