I still think add a radio airplay element to the chart. It’s another way that music is consumed. I don’t see how it’s any different to passively listening to playlisted tracks by Spotify. It would also mean more variety and more movement/upredictability in the chart and give a chance for legacy acts to shine. Also, scrap ACR and the max number of tracks by an artist which can chart. Furthermore, only allow the top 5 Christmas songs to chart or move older tracks to a Christmas catalogue chart.

It’s excruciating - that yelping!

Not as strongly as Whigfield

It was certified 19x platinum on 15th May 2026 for sales of 5.7 million

How can Oasis be on 6.2 million sales - it only passed 5.7 million a few weeks ago!

The only list I’m interested in is the biggest albums of all time. Post millennium lists, especially those solely based on streaming, and divided into decades mean absolutely nothing to me.

Pretty sure Oasis have now overtaken Adele

Honestly, what is the chart supposed to actually represent with even more manipulation?!

Surely because most of their sales were pre 1994? Isn’t Thriller 25 counted separately? Aren’t ABBA GOLD and Rumours also due upgrades based on all time sales?

For the sheer spectacle ROSALIA was way up there. RAYE was a let down imo.

Just don't get all the continual Alex hate on this platform. He was by far the best vocal performance of the night

But they have equal billing...???

This whole situation with Man I Need and the amount of weeks it's missed at number one is an absolute joke. How can the Official Chart have any credibility when by far and away the most popular song for over 2 months is not number one!

According to Music Week, Rein Me In is on 25,697 sales and So Easy on 24,182.

I see more representation of new artists on the airplay, It does exactly that I.e. reflecting current listening trends from actually a wide demographic

So even more manipulation, diminishing further the representation of popularity

Ironically if ACR wasn't a thing a lot of the songs reset wouldn't be entering!

Wish the BPI would combine WHAM!'s physical sales so the platinum status reflects its total sales. Same goes for Band Aid and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, and all singles/albums pre-1994.

True! I typed in Michael Jackson - Thriller (single) but it lists 2014 as the earliest certification date which is incorrect.

Paul Mccartney - surely must be 2,040,000?

Also, is it just me or have they completely wiped all pre-digital awards from their re-designed site for those artists that have gained awards since 2004?

Can the Offical Charts and BPI ever give us correctly functioning sites! Doing a certification search for one song/album shouldn't be so laborious! I mean, have a drop down box like the RIAA to show certication history of a particular song/album!

Very odd that Andy Williams from #21 to out of the Top 40 since Wednesdays update

Of they're not popular enough, then so be it

What's annoying with this is that historically, Nobody's Son will be seen to have reached a peak position far lower than its initial popularity was.
