Do pre-order positions really indicate how well/poor a song does in the charts?

The Ed Sheeran track is a duet with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. :o

This is the first chart i've posted here, and it coincides with the 19th anniversary of the day I first published them. Back then it was just a top 10, the first #1 was the Spice Girls with Wannabe which remained at #1 for 12 weeks. More on them below with 'Artists Spotlight' Enjoy!
