#7 this week - 7,276 sales including streams.

Got some 59p songs: Dire Straits - Money for Nothing George Ezra - Blame It On Me The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony The Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl

I think it was McFly - I'll Be OK in 2005.

At first I could only think of One Direction, but this reminds me that I'm almost 2 years older than Cher Lloyd. I'm older than all of One Direction and 3 of Little Mix.

Thanks for the welcome! :) Good point about the silence at the end. Another thought to add to my original post, though - if 100 people per day listen to a particular song for 30 seconds and then skip, it would add up to 7 'sales' by the end of the week, despite the fact that those people barely listened to the song.

I wonder how much the streaming proportion of the chart would decrease if only whole-song streams were counted? It seems odd that listening to a song for 30 seconds 100 times is worth as much as buying it once.
