The charts are a measure of what's currently popular, people need to deal with the fact that at some points that might be a lot of older songs. And anyway why 3 years? How would they arbitrarily decide on a threshold?

3 years is too generous. HMV wouldn't stock CD singles after a few months. I wouldn't want to lose songs discovered later than their release. Like Cruel Summer. So maybe the limit needs to be 2 years after their first appearance in the top 40? If its been top 40, its been a hit and run its course. If it comes back, its not a rediscovery of a formerly forgotten track but a revival.

They need to do nothing tbh. Spotify are the ones who need to do something. Apple’s charts look a lot fresher and more appealing.

Yes. The new tracks getting the same kind of exposure/promotion on Spotify as they do Apple Music would give them a bigger boost than what they achieve on AM, thus positioning them in a stronger position to get added to key playlists more frequently and the turn over not being as horrible as it is. New music by smaller/"more local" artists always start off stronger on Apple Music than they do Spotify, due to AM "Geo-Blocking" their playlists iirc. So if they had that kind of exposure on Spotify immediately - the biggest streaming platform - it could only be a good thing imo.
