Wonderful for Taylor to enter Top 5 with Wildest Dreams!! I'm confused why she still has no streaming points. Do ARIA not count Apple Music data? Her catalogue is there and she must have at least some points there. Number 25 is quite an achievement for Ellie, I think, considering how Anja didn't really do well last year. However, the season finale ratings was down AGAIN from last year. At least X Factor's winning single manages a high debut, even if their subsequent singles don't perform and/or are not marketed very well. Delta is falling rather quickly after her #1 peak and quite shocked that Calvin is experiencing a similar fate this week. I was expecting Calvin to stay in Top 5. Jessie J's single tanked but I'm not sure if it was even an intended single release to begin with. Impressed at Fifth Harmony's longevity in Australia when in the UK, Worth It had a shorter stay than I expected. Excellent debut for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis after their VMA performance. No doubt Downtown's streaming points will grow even bigger. Vance Joy is achieving great success with his new single but his stay in Top 10 might be short lived since his streaming points are not making much impact, as of now.

I think it will be close between Bieber and The Weeknd. Like Cody said, it will come down to airplay. Yeah, Bieber managed 50m+ total views from his lyric and official video combined but how much out of that will contribute to US streaming? I'm not sure if Billboard values both On-Demand (audio) and Video streaming points equally or if audio is valued more. As for Wildest Dreams, I am expecting a Top 15 debut but am secretly hoping for a Top 10.

I won't be surprised if streaming accounts for 80% of chart sales total. Lean On is still Top 3 on NZ Spotify.

Good for Carly's Run Away With Me charting as her album is off to a disappointing start. If there is any silver lining, E-MO-TION is getting great reviews from critics. Wings falling down was expected as it fell quickly out of Top 5 on iTunes and she didn't really do much on streaming. At least Sony can celebrate with Calvin as the new champion. Also very good news for Vance Joy and Taylor. We'll see how much Taylor's Wildest Dream will make an impact for next week's chart when the video will premiere tomorrow.

Oh @ Lana falling down. :cry: :cry: I'm hoping she can sneak in this week. As for Sony Music Australia, of course, because they are Sony Music Australia. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Avril Lavigne and Family Guy game!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Delta is really on a roll with Wings and it is well deserved. It is truly much better than Sitting On Top of the World in 2012. Anja, last year's Voice winner, flopped with her new single and she even performed on The Voice last week! She didn't even make Top 50 on iTunes so not really surprised. Expecting huge second week from Nico & Vinz. Sony better be prepared this week with How Deep Is Your Love as Universal will give an enormous push to The Weeknd's Can't Feel My Face. Both these songs are virtually everywhere from radio to TV!! Both songs are also consistently strong on sales and streaming. Lana is apparently still at number 51, and I'm hoping she can achieve higher results for High By The Beach. Then again, Lana performs much better on albums anyway. Singles Sales (number 2-4 are really close): Delta: 14760 Calvin: 13530 The Weeknd: 13130 (#1 on stream) Lost Frequencies: 13020 Adam: 12490

Good for Worth It to go Silver considering it fell down the chart quickly after their #3 entry. Fantastic for Not Letting Go to reach Gold!!! :wub: :wub:
