Tbh I doubt even if they asked OCC would agree to give it a manual reset. It's 43 years old and was already released as a single back then.

Apple Music: 1237. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You Apple Music albums: 129. Various Artists - NOW 100 Hits Christmas 297. Michael Bublé - Christmas (Deluxe Special Edition)

43. Jasmine Thompson - Like I'm Gonna Lose You

46. Aloe Blacc - Hold On Tight

Not much happening on Spotify today. 'Take You Dancing' up to #14, I think it's a new peak. Also new peak for Ritt Momney at #35. 'Dreams' up to #43.

38. Jazmine Sullivan - Bust Your Windows 68. Mariah Carey - Circles

When it comes to the album chart: There are people listening to the albums on streaming services. And by listening to the albums I mean listening to them in full. There are Fontaines D.C. fans listening to their album in full, there are Lewis Capaldi fans listening to his album in full, Dua Lipa fans listening to 'Future Nostalgia' in full, Juice Wrld and Drake fans listening to their albums in full and (probably) even Mabel fans listening to 'High Expectations' in full. But the thing is, this is not what the streaming album chart is measuring. It doesn't reflect the streaming consumption of an actual album. For example let's take a loook at this week's streaming album chart. We have Mabel at #10 and Idles at #20. Even though Idles are not neccessarily streaming giants does anyone actually believe that last week more people streamed 'High Expectations' as a whole than 'Ultra Mono'? There might've been 300 people who streamed 'High Expectations' as a whole album and 10,000 people who streamed Idles album in full. Yet those 10,000 people who actually took their time to listen to their album have no chance when it comes to chart position with tens/hundreds of thousands people who are listening to random Mabel top 40 hits and probably don't even know the name of her album. So theoretically it would be easy to compile an actual streaming album chart. If someone streams all 14 tracks from some album then that counts as 1 streaming album. But as always the problem is with combining streaming with sales. Of course someone listening to album on Spotify can't count the same as someone buying the album on vinyl because the revenue for the artist doesn't add up at all. So there has to be some sort of ratio for streaming. But with the ratio applied if we exclude all the non-album streaming the streaming influence on the album chart would be much smaller and sales figures for albums on the chart would also be much smaller. Streaming is inflating sales on the album chart and makes them look better than they actually do. On the sales album chart you can sometimes go top 10 with less than 1,5k. So if we excluded huge part of streaming from the chart then the sales figures would look much more terrible than they do now. And I think this might be the reason OCC won't change the rules. They want to avoid situation when you would need 500 copies to have top 100 album in the UK because the chart would lose a lot of its prestige then. But maybe in 2050 when the concept of buying albums/singles will die completely and there will be no need for streaming ratios we'll finally get the actual album streaming chart where number one album will be the one that was streamed 35,000 times in full during the week and the platinum album would be the one that was streamed 300,000 times.
