That variety :heart: :heart:

Remember in 2006 when songs were made ineligible for not being available on physical format any more (e.g. Crazy, Maneater etc)? Ineligible songs used to appear in the midweeks spreadsheet, but they would be starred out so they would have no position allocated to them but would be listed with their sales in between the other positions

Am I right in thinking that if Despacito has another decrease this Friday, the following Friday his streams will go town to 1-300 ratio. Meaning it will most likely be kicked off the number 1 spot?

I think the days of charity singles are over. Maybe #1 on iTunes but wouldn't be surprised if it missed the top 10 altogether. There are better ways to support the victims than buying this

Does the charity version sound any different Edit sorry just seen this was answered already

i lived and breathed the charts 1997 to 2016. I'm over it now

which MO?

Bring Me The Horizon were the lowest at 14 I believe

Yes I've not been able to listen yet because of an error

Only 7 different artists In the whole of the top 40

I wonder if Steps will get added to playlists after their success on itunes

Thank you. But good grief, what an embarrassing shambles that chart is

It's a shame there can't be any full update for this week. Anyone able to work out what the top 10 or top 20 would look like with the Ed Sheehan releases

Exactly. Streaming should be able to revolutionise the charts but it has had the opposite effect

2017. The year that my 21 year obsession with the charts is finally killed.

No it hasn't? Well the rest of the internet seems to have only discovered it today, that's for sure!

Ah right thanks. It's on Spotify already; I wonder if any playlists will pick it up immediately

Any sign of Future featuring Rihanna?

Ah ok, didn't scroll far enough. Thanks However, neither list seems to accurately represent the size of her hits due to sales being up and down over the last 15 years and the crazy sudden streaming take over Really, you would expect the top 10 to be something like: 1 We Found Love 2 Umbrella 3 Diamonds 4 Only Girl 5 Love The Way You Lie 6 Work 7 What's My Name 8 Rude Boy 9 This Is What You Came For 10 Disturbia 11 S&M 12 Don't Stop The Music 13 The Monster 14 Stay 15 Live Your Life 16 Unfaithful 17 Sos 18 Take A Bow 19 Run This Town 20 Too Good

Anyone got a version with streams?

After the performance of Cry and Hey Boy, I seriously doubt Take That will be any higher than low top 40

Yes, most(if not all) of the top 10 will be Ed

Until April at least

JP Cooper having top 10 smash after all

Ed sheeran has confirmed new music is coming on Friday. I predict 15 to 20 weeks at number 1 for his album when it eventually arrives (non consecutive across the year)
