July 4Jul 4 The problem with the album charts stems from the fact they double count streams and it’s allowed greatest hits to have inflated units.Yet the other issue I’ve recently come to realise is artificially reducing the streaming units off the top two songs on a studio album is also adding to this. Most studio albums have a couple of bigger hits and one modest sized hit, rather than a runaway hit single. I think it’s too strict and would boost studio album sales and again help kick greatest hits out a bit. Also means actual popular albums get a decent run at the top and prevent these 1-out chart runs that are becoming more frequent and personally I find it so boring. Soundtracks also should be added back as well I think, they only took them out I assume due to greatest showman being so huge. It would add some good variety though every now and then.
