I agree, certainly those available only through the artists website. After all, they appeal only to the fanbase as collectors items, serving only to artificially boost the artists chart position.

With Sienna and Ella possibly going to ACR in a few weeks and Dua dying off, it’s not impossible that MIN could return to #1! That’d be hilarious.

Yes, scrapped

All it proves imo is the publics enduring popularity for some tracks

See what you mean! Yes, looks utterly ridiculous

Maybe MIN has been reset lol

Why awkward?

At this rate, Dua Lipa could be #1 in 3 weeks time

Surely these tracks are due upgrades soon? The Weeknd - Blinding Lights Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee - Despacito Kings of Leon - Sex On Fire Pharrell Williams - Happy TLC - No Scubs Sam Smith - Stay With Me Justin Timberlake - Can’t Stop The Feeling!

Thanks for the enlightenment

Well not out loud anyway

You knew exactly what I meant - the most consumed track of the week

I do wonder how sienna really feels considering she’ll know she isnt the ‘real’ number one

Yes but that’s for songs after 2 years!

Give me Ordinary any day over the excruciating Bloodstream

Although expected, no interest without Beyoncé/Kelly Rowland or Beautiful Liar

How about ditch ACR and these much older songs would not make such an impression. Also, how long does a song stay viral for?

Maybe you like Australia’s chart rules, whereby if an older song (one that hasn't charting in the Top 100 for at least 10 years) goes majorly viral or lands a huge sync placement in a movie or TV show, a record label can request to have it reinstated on the Main Charts. If approved, it is allowed to stay on the main chart for a maximum of 10 weeks.

Also, Belgian dance duo, DHT feat Edmée - Listen To Your Heart reached #8 on Billboard HOT 100 in 2005

OUCH!

Interested to see where Sam Smith ended up. At #37 in Australia! And Housemartins -90s?!

That’s the point- they’re not getting the chance to break through based on not being included in the most popular playlists. All in all, if the chart is to reflect popularity as closely as it can, it needs to include all ways music is consumed.

Yes it is- people choose to listen to curated playlists on both streaming and radio. Wasn’t Madonna recently #1 on the radio airplay chart! Inclusion of this data would certainly balance legacy acts total exclusion from streaming

I never said it was a solution. It’s another way people consume music. Have you looked at the airplay chart recently- there’s far more variety and movement! Skip a song > change the station.

I’m talking about audience data not actual number of plays. Only music paid for - so no data used from free users then?
