I find it crazy that people in general but specifically people on a music forum like this, don't utilise streaming more. I have a premium account with Spotify and haven't downloaded for quite a long time now. I just don't understand why people would choose to pay 99p to download a song when you can pay £10 a month and download unlimited songs?? In answer to your question I wouldn't say it's at its peak yet but it's not far off it now. Streaming is now having a massive effect on the top 40 and regularly causing songs that have top 20 sales to completely miss the top 40.

I'm talking as someone who is a big Carrie fan and has all of her albums, but she is virtually unknown in the UK. She might be huge in the U.S. But she is not a huge act to any of the viewers watching at home here. I'd rather she performed Smoke Break as I much prefer it.

I went for opening sales between 150k and 200k and 2-3 weeks at number 1. More specifically around 185k sales and 3 weeks at number 1.

Is there any particular reason why Aston Merrygold is top 10 in Oz? Did he perform it somewhere? If I recollect JLS weren't really big in Australia were they?

Thank you. I hope it is their biggest hit, they deserve it.

Does anyone know how Little Mix 'Black Magic' is doing on radio overall?

Dreams, Breathe to win 💖

Oh dear. I thought their popularity in the US would at least have meant 1 day in the top 10.

When did Little Mix Black Magic get released in the US?

Has Jessie J's Flashlight been added yet?

Ageist? Nicki is only like late 20's is she not?...

I know it's early days but a couple of good increases for Madonna. Ghost Town is without a doubt the best song on Rebel Heart and I'd love to see it even a moderate hit for her.

Does anyone have all her first week sales of each album?

British/Irish acts on US itunes. Wow at the whole top 5 being British/Irish (well at least having a uk/irish feature) 1. Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud 2. Rihanna, Kanye, Paul McCartney - Fourfiveseconds 3. Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk 4. Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do 5. Hozier - Take Me to the Church 10. Florence + the Machine - What Kind of Man 12. Sam Smith - Stay with Me 15. Sam Smith - Im not the Only One 26. Ella Henderson - Ghost 45. Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk 53. Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding - Outside 64. One Direction - Night Changes 69. Ed Sheeran - Don't 79. Hozier - Take me to the Church

This isnt really a fair list though as almost every song which hit number1 in the US first was not even released in the UK until after its US no. 1 status so it would never have been possible to hit number 1 in the UK first. If theyd all been released on the same day in both countries almost all of them would've been no. 1 in the UK first. Although I thinkna few of them such as Royals and Rude were big hits in the UK due to their US success.

I bought Cheryls Only Human when it was 99p but then realised you can't import them to your itunes and never actually get to download the songs to your phone/tablet technically which is all a bit pointless to me. If you have to be onlibe to lusten to them why not just listen for free on Spitify/youtube?

I wonder if Let it go will finally enter the top 10 over a year after its release? I have a feeling it will.

Double post.

Calvin Harris seems to continually have massive radio support yet the sales never seem to match up. And why is Ghost building so slowly?

196 Morrison*Mark Return Of The Mack 6,559 301 1,635 349, 592 301% increase compared to last week, I wonder what sparked that? Its not exactly a halloween song is it? On another note I really hope Sam Smiths "I'm Not The Only One" properly takes off soon, such an amazing song.

The difference being not only is Adele an exceptional album seller but she also has massive number 1 singles, as long as that continues she will not suffer the same declines as Norah Jones etc. Obviously whatever album follows 21 will not sell as much in the long run though that would be impossible.

I voted 21-30 but id love it to go top 20/10.

Amazing. If you took into account the massive decline in album sales this would totally be the best selling album of all time.
