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.

More ridiculous manipulation imo, distorting the chart completely, rendering its measurement of popularity meaningless. Might as well move christmas classics altogether and have a catalogue christmas chart.

I think they should and introduce a catalogue chart. As well as this, scrap ACR.

Gorilla -4,720,000?!

Ukmix list of best selling singles of 1986 has 'In The Army Now' as 333,693 sales

So just more manipulation of an already distorted chart! Taking Christmas songs out entirely and having a seperate chart would be the better option imo.

Lewis at #22 on streaming chart! He really can't do without those physicals!

UkMix have its 1984 sales as 373,898

How utterly predictable in more ways than one. More univentive sentimentality from lewis capaldi; galvanising his fanbase to buy physical product. Imo physical product with multiple formats exclusive to the artist's website should be excluded from the chart.
