Split Decision EP is out now

Think its limited to 10 plays per user

Probably because they know the OCC will change the rules if they do that

I don't get why some on this forum don't like streaming in terms of its importance for albums. We live in a world where the vast bast majority of people listen to music through streaming as its more cost effective. Buying a physical album is largely done as a collectors item for hardcore fans - and those fans will still mostly to the album via streaming anyway as access to physical CD palyers is pretty difficult and people arent bothered to burn a CD to an mp3 when you can just stream and save memory on your phone/computer. Also streaming is the purest way we have of knowing what people are listening to. Physical sales are completrly manupulared by multibuys. Playlist plays don't impact album sales much as the biggest songs are downweighted. Solutions to Greatest Hits albums have been presented in this thread and with a bit of tweaking would work. Situations where the number one album drops out of the top 100 are because in those cases the physical sales have more correlation with people actually listening to the album and are more about supporting someone from your hometown. The Lottery Winners for example got number 1 with 200 streaming 'sales' which is ridiculous and means the number 1 spot was meaningless that week. Could someone explain to me where I might be going wrong with this, as for me streaming should be even more heavily weighted as that's how people listen to music. *Also as a side note the whole thing of converting streams into sales is outdated now. The primary way of listening to music is streams so really sales should be converted to streams

Really like this album

Streaming is good for artists in terms of long term income. People will often go back to listen to music they love and now going back to the music means a paid stream rather than replaying the CD you bought ages ago. This is offset a bit by the sheer amount of music that is released now though

Why?

What is a proper stream and a fake stream?

Edit: Ignore, I read your message wrong

I think it comes down to whether TN or Jessie had a massive amount of preorders.

Yeah it sounds like she's been misinformed

She must mean the top 40 or something along those lines. Really sad video though!

:lol: :lol:

I dont use TikTok but on Twitter I would say the reception is good, and more positive than when Crabs in a Bucket first came out.

Looks like they are having the non streaming advantage over Nines with Nines not even in the Amazon Physical

Nines' album is great and it's getting good reviews so I hope it goes number 1

Looking forward to this one!

Thanks for the response, yeah I do think it was a bit odd to go for a surprise release too.

Interested to see what the reception will be for this

Do we think we will challenge for the number 1 album next week?

Could I know the sales for Nines - Crabs In A Bucket please

Nines remains at number 1. Looks like he should be number 1 in the Official Charts tomorrow

Nines - Crop Circle Chip - Ten10 Fredo -Tables Turn Sneakbo - Brixton Smoke Boys - Dont Panic 2 Ghetts - Ghetto Gospel Cheers!

Hi could I have the sales of: Nines - Crop Circle Nines - I See You Shining

Even though vidcappers numbers say 28k for One Foout Out they are from May 2017. Towards the end of 2017 it was nearer 35k I believe. Thanks for informing us about the sales though vidcapper.
