I’m presuming for OCC purposes the new version of “Whole Again” won’t be combined with the original 2001 version as they’re lyrically different and with a different title?

They should be separate, which will also mean the new version won't be subjected to ACR.

on a normal week there is no issue, actually Thursday streams are super easy to predict, basically they're identical to Wed streams only slightly lower

but in a week like this, I wouldn't know myself what to predict to be honest...

 

I'm sure it doesn't particularly make that much difference in a normal week, it's just the principle is frustrating especially when you consider there can literally be a handful of sales between chart positions even very high up on occasion. The idea of a song that was actually streamed less than another ranking below it is just... disappointing. I'm sure they have tried to make their algorithm as accurate as possible but it's still not the Real McCoy is it?
