Do legacy albums not automatically update like singles or is manual merging of pre and post 1994 numbers required?

Maybe it had sold almost 60K during its original chart run in 2011 when Glee was at its peak popularity and gradually accumulated the remaining few thousand units over the last 15 years (which might be negligible amounts each week) to tip it into Silver status.

For sure it's not a level playing field for comparison purposes (and I won't even start on pre Feb 1994 uncertified units resetting to zero ..) but the current consumption landscape is what it is....

Whitney really accumulating the certs lately! I imagine some legacy artists that have their greatest hits albums continously in the Top 100 Albums chart(like Whitney) from constant streaming of their hits will continue to see their unit totals for singles grow and hence earn regular new certifications which is great to see! Bon Jovi similarly so!

Are they not Number 5?

I'd say he'll increase as the week goes on as virtually all of his fanbase only consumes his music via streaming...

Great to see an all time Whitney classic get such deserved recognition! ❤️

Am I the only one who initially thought this was a cover of the Dominic Fike song?

First time Nicole Kidman has graced the Top 10 since Somethin' Stupid... 😜 😜

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_albums_which_have_spent_the_most_weeks_on_the_UK_Albums_Chart Wikipedia gives a list of all albums that have spent 150 weeks or more on the UK charts. You could extract and sort by artist to give you an indicative list for those artists and groups that appear multiple times...however this wouldn't include artists who had many albums but none of which exceeded 150 weeks but collectively they would have more chart weeks so its not a definitive list unfortunately

I suppose I was being a bit tongue in cheek to make a point...but I still think the reset % increase should be way higher...

A 25% uptick seems too loose a benchmark to be eligible for a reset anymore. Every time Liam Gallagher burps or Taylor Swift sneezes, their songs streams seem to increase by more than 25% and come back out of ACR yet again. I think 100% increase (doubling of streams) in a week should be the criteria. I'd imagine this would then only allow truly pop cultural or epic revival moments like the Kate Bush's RUTH for Stranger Things or Dolly Parton's passing to be reflected and mean a more exclusive and rarer set of oldies re-enter the charts in a way that seems appropriate in capturing the nation's mood on a given week. I get that is a subjective stance in itself but what is the alternative....? I get that some chart purists here dont want ACR at all and would be happy for Rein Me In to be Number One for the rest of eternity if thats what the bot driven playlists spit out for ever more as the most passively streamed track week in, week out but that would be the worst of all outcomes in my opinion...

And I can assure you the general public weren'taware of that! But thanks for the clarification! 👍

Actually, it's nice to see Ella's label promoting the song this way. Nothing worse than a song at number one that both the artist and label are indifferent about! It was bad enough having the entire nation being indifferent to a number one for the last 22 weeks in a row! 😜

If I'm ever out and there's a jukebox in the bar, Self Control always gets a play! I love that song!! 😍
