So that's 19 songs on DCL-1 compared to 8 on DCL-2, DCL-3 and SCR (at 7+ weeks) combined... I have to say I'm losing patience with the current rules, as it seems too easy for multiple songs to avoid it with minimal increases in streams due to good weather like we had (early) last week.
Rather than any increase being enough to avoid ACR, I think it should be an increase of more than the streaming market OR something like 2.5%. If a song increases by 0.1% when the market increases 4%, that wouldn't suggest it's coming back into any sort of favour to justify ACR avoidance.

Chandelier as high as 9th is a great result :cheer: I'd hoped Shotgun would break up the Ed monopoly in the Top 3, but there we go.
In answer to Maestro's question on an all-time list, I'm pretty sure Frank Sinatra's My Way would still be some distance ahead since it spent longer in the Top 50 than Perfect has done in the Top 75 so far. Although if the latter still hasn't gone to ACR / been shot dead by the OCC by Christmas, then who knows.
Thanks dan-G for compiling and sharing!

Arguably two of the weakest singles either band released around that time. Blur's Parklife album and self-titled 1997 one have aged a lot better than The Great Escape (The Universal aside). Country House is fun though, but I went for Oasis as it's the sound of their peak period, even though it's a song I rarely go back to.

Looks like the only song here which never made the Top 10 is, perhaps unsurprisingly given how slow the charts were, from 2016 - Sucker For Pain which peaked at #11.
Although it appears its 'turn' at #1 under this system is on a week when it was actually at #13. I'd guess no songs took their turns from a lower position, even songs that peaked in the Top 10 in a different week?

Despite my misgivings about Kygo's current single (and indeed Higher Love), I'm delighted to see Firestone that high, it's one of my absolute favourite songs of the decade.
Galway Girl sneaking in as a 3rd top 200 song for Ed Sheeran in that section - I think he has 8 yet to come, and I'd guess Thinking Out Loud will top this.
The Weeknd's current points total would put him at #51 for the 2010s.01 01 | 01 31 | 36.5949 | The Weeknd ~ Blinding Lights
And if I'm doing this right, number 9 for the 2000s (but not the top Canadian!)That must be Nickelback - Rockstar :P

That would have seen Blinding Lights end a run of 27 consecutive weeks in the Top 5 - a week short of the all-time record (Frankie Laine - I Believe). Nothing has come close to that officially, and even in this ACR-free chart I think Someone You Loved would be next nearest with 22 in a row.
I'm not keen on the 3-track rule either, but I suppose the OCC had to do something after the Divide and More Life releases in 2017 meant Ed Sheeran and Drake tracks took up 23 places in the Top 40 one week.

My favourites from that 150 are Kickstarts, Stay High and It Ain't Me from the first 50, and Hello and Video Games from the last.
Video Games and Slide had much longer runs in the Top 40 than I remembered. (I take it you've switched the Weeks column from Top 100 to Top 40 partway through - assuming a certain song with just 3 weeks in the Top 40 in the decade is still to come, I was looking for the next highest with so few weeks - Rihanna's Needed Me at 607, I guess.)

Interesting idea - not sure I'd have understood it without the explanations in the comments though :)
I take it the numbers in brackets are supposed to be where song actually peaked (although I Miss You peaked at 4 not 6)? Do you have where the song was in the chart at the time it 'would have been #1' by this system?
e.g. Perfect comes the week after Divide was released and although it went on to reach #1, at the time it was #5. Same with Head & Heart - on its 'would be #1' week it was at #3.
