Message to OCC - my other "longest weeks" lists disappear after a few minutes. Could you please look into it, thanks.

Message to OCC: Station to Station's weeks on chart does not include the 1990 version - surely it should? This is probably also the case for all the other 1990 issues of his albums too.

Oh WOW! What an accomplishment! Had streaming not been fixed so rock songs can't top the singles chart, Human would SURELY be number 1 logically!

Just proves the charts are fixed then. The charts mean nothing anymore, cause you don't have to buy a record anymore to get it and what with streaming. For example 3 people want a song 1 person buys it from I Tunes the next person doesn't have to buy cause they can listen to it as much as they like on You Tube, and the next person can pay about £10 and get access to thousands of songs. And as for streaming need I say more.
