If they don'tget data by Friday, they should delay the reveal of the chart or re-run it imo

I'm sure that was a joke lol

It's not a solo single

Mockery largely attributed to ACR/resets. I mean, itd be low top 20 at best this week without ACR.

There was no need to apologise. Nowhere did you suggest you didn't know that fact.

Hungry Eyes was not commercially released in the UK; initially only charting on imports.

Totally does! They havent got a clue. Leona all over again

Will the release of Wham!'s Last Christmas on limited edition 7" vinyl on 13th December mean a possible manual reset from ACR?

So up to now, the OCC has used 5 different streaming-sales ratios in their calculations?!!

Are sales totals given prior to the introduction of these streaming/sales ratios recalculated using this formula?

OCC and the word consistency shouldn't be in the same sentence

What was 3 lions drop?

I completely agree and abandon the ACR rule for tracks over 3 years as it's had little effect on Christmas songs anyway

That'd be ridiculous.. in my opinion what's more likely is a seperate christmas chart

Yeah, wait until Saturday and bring back the Sunday chart show!

Mariah has a total of 4,991,302 streams on Spotify from 21-25 December inclusive; Ava Max meanwhile has a cumulative figure of 1,823,273 over the same period. By my reckoning that equates to Mariah having 63% more streams over that timeframe.. Will that be enough to overcome ACR and bag the #1 despite the inevitable downfall in streams over the additional 2 days?

It's embarrassing and a mockery of the charts that utter tripe like LadBaby can get to #1. What is wrong with people?

Ah yes, forgot about the change

For LM, the #1 may be all down to YouTube...

Isn't that 93 sales with 1:150 sales:streaming ratio

When it was announced by the OCC that tracks over 3 years old would be subject to ACR I emailed the OCC and got this reply... " The 3 year restriction does not prevent older Christmas tracks entering the top end of the Official Singles Chart, but it does stop seasonal activity flooding the Official Chart. As an example in week 52 last year there were 8 tracks in the Top 10 and 13 in the Top 20. under the new rules there would have been 3 in the Top 10 and 8 in the Top 20. Under the new rules, Wham! would have charted at #3 in the Christmas chart (week 51), which is the same position it achieved under the old rules. In week 52, instead of peaking at #2, it would have been at #5.

Just received this reply from the OCC: The 3 year reset restriction does not prevent older Christmas tracks entering to top end of the Official Singles Chart, but it does stop seasonal activity flooding the Official Chart As an example, in week 52 last year there were 8 Christmas tracks in the Top 10 and 13 in the top 20 Under the new rules there would have been 3 in the Top 10 and 8 in the Top 20 If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me

Then I'd rather they remove them completely than give a false representation of their populaity

But that IS what's popular at Christmas

DVD singles are counted, so why not video purchases/streams? Whats the difference?
