Does itunes have the lion's share of the download market? Maybe this is why the OCC sales chart reflects the itunes chart? In the same way I imagine the OCC streaming chart mirrors the Spotify chart? Back in the physical day, it was rare for a single to enter the top 20 if it was not stocked by Woolworths, particularly between 2000-2005. So whichever format you consider, those who control the market most will have the bigger influence on the official chart. Just my take on things! Sales are falling for two reasons. An increase in streaming is the obvious one, but also because there are a lack of high profile new releases. So far this year it has been common for 3 or 4 weeks to lapse without any real contenders to challenge for no.1.

I got lucky. I think Ariana Grande won it for me!

The purpose of the singles chart is to accurately reflect the popularity of different tracks. The decline in download sales show that more people are increasingly using streaming as an alternative to purchasing. Therefore if the chart is to continue to accurately reflect the marketplace, it HAS to include streaming data. Yes the chart is slower with fewer new entries and some tracks are peaking lower than they previously would. But I don't think the chart is predictable, certainly not like it was 15 years ago when you could look at a release schedule and predict each no.1 weeks in advance. Those were the days when the charts were "engineered" by record companies who knew exactly how to work the market to their advantage. Much easier for them back then when all sales were physical. The record companies haven't got to grips with streaming yet. They need to find a way of maximising streaming & sales in the same week to give a track a high peak. At the moment a lot of tracks enter the chart and it takes a week or so before they start climbing on Spotify. No doubt the introduction of the new chart week in July will further complicate things, perhaps? Last point - You can't blame the singles chart for new music or artists failing. The charts showcase popular music not new music.
