Official Singles Chart on 15/7/2016

If Drake's 'One Dance' is still Number 1 today, this chart will lose all credibility. It is a faux chart that does not represent a true perspective of what the public are buying and just like the U.S. airplay chart will not be a true reflection of sales. It is just watering down statistics, as there should have been four other songs at Number 1 within the same time period that Drake has been number 1. We are lucky there is no 'Top of the Pops' as it would have just been a joke to see the same song at number one for so long. At least Bryan Adams '(Everything I do) I do it for you' had the sales, as the biggest selling single of 1991 to warrant his 16 weeks in the top spot.

R.I.P U.K. Singles Chart

Drake has had about 42,500 sales from streaming this week. That is why Drake is number 1.

The only song that has been number 1 during Don't Let Me Down's chart run has been Drake - One Dance.

Even most of the younger generation take no notice of the charts these days (going by the ones i work with) when i was there age everyone knewwho was in the Top 40 but today they know who's about but not if they're in the charts or not

Once more a pathetic joke. Drake has had the best selling song for 3 weeks, yet will go down in chart history as being there for 14, and potentially could go on to break the all time record. Streaming has made the previous 60 plus years of the singles chart meaningless and void. Why do we always follow the US with these things. They brought it in first and it has completely destroyed their charts, but hey we follow suit. It's not just about weeks at number 1, but also weeks on chart and other records. Sad! Sad! Sad!

The British Phonograph Company and the Official Charts Company need to do something to stop this current chart manipulation otherwise there will be artists who have only been recording for about five years becoming the Most Successful Chart Acts of all time. Makes a mockery of the whole system and, of course, everybody knows it.

Congratulations to the hot risers Calum Scott, Jonas Blue and Shawn Mendes! Sadly I had already get bored with Drake's songs but obviously some people had not.

I imagine there is some crazy evil genius in some underground control room bunker and he manipulates the chart. He streams all day long and then laughs: " ha ha ha, I am the 'Count of Streaming' and my mission is to destroy all decent pop music."

:P

Any 1 goin 2 knock that load of off the top spot???

listen to :
balthazar wait any longer

So here is my usual review on the UK charts today:
- Well congratulations to Drake for a 14th consecutive week at #1 on the singles chart with 'One Dance'... but I don't understand why he is still at the top. I know Spotify is fuelling his streaming a lot, though there is no official video yet so it has next to nothing on YouTube (unless you count covers). It's also not even in the Top 10 on iTunes & dropping quite fast on sales. I have nothing against Drake or 'One Dance' but I'm just really surprised that this has had the popularity to become the 3rd longest consecutive run atop the UK singles chart of all-time.
- Elsewhere in the Top 10, there appears to be a lot more movement than in the past few weeks which is good to see. Really pleased that Kent Jones & Jonas Blue both reached the Top 10 with their new songs & it's awesome that The Chainsmokers & Calum Scott also make big climbs as well. Hopefully one of those songs I just mentioned will overtake Drake very soon.
- As for the rest of the Top 100, it's great to see Olly Murs back but I wish 'You Don't Know Love' debuted higher than #23 though. I also like how Selena Gomez bounds into the Top 40 with two songs & congratulations to Biffy Clyro too as 'Ellipsis' enters at #1 over on the albums chart. :)

They should scrap the sales chart and make this chart sales only because the fact song's rate of being listened to and airplay is effecting number's on the official chart is madness and completely irrelevant surely a sale should decide over a listen and hold more power someone make a petition please I can't stand these charts anymore painful to view it is damaged

Hope next week BRITNEY or KATY will kick out DRAKE from no1 !!!!!

Hurry up with TILTED by CHRISTINE& THE QUEENS !!!

Joke! Let's do campaign "One dance to be Christmas #1".....Do you guys remember times when we had almost every week new number 1 and be on #1 more than 3 weeks was a huge achievement?!!!!

Nothing against Drake but this is a joke, how can a song that can only "sell" enough to be at number 14 be "number 1"? Since this streaming came in these charts mean nothing. You may as well just call them "airplay charts" and be done with it.

Awesome chart. So much activity. I love the five new entries in the top ten! And great to see one of those new entries is at number one. Yes, sir, we should all give thanks to the mighty chart. We are blessed to live in this great chart era.

:P

And Drake now at No.14 in the sales chart. What a farce!

Go All In My Head (Flex)!! My birthday is the 7th August and my perfect gift would be for it to hit the top 40 that week!!
And I also really like Perfect Strangers and it would be good if it manages to succeed where Calvin Harris, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and Kungs all failed in taking the #1 spot of Drake!!

Ignoring the fact Biffy Clyro hit #1 in the album chart and Jonas Blue climbs to 3, WHAT IS THIS BULLSH*T?!!!? Drake STILL at number 1, my theory was wrong, Don't Let Me Down climbs to 2, WHY?! It's terrible, Olly Murs ONLY HITS 23 AND JOHN NEWMAN DOESN'T EVEN HIT THE TOP 100! The amount of fixes is me off.

Awesome week with a nice top 5 reshuffling. I get the feeling Perfect Strangers could be gunning for #1 next.

Pretty sure Kungs will never listen to Drake's music ever again after this...

They should just remove all songs from Drake! Period!

So olé fails to chart to chart in the top 100 and Olly Murs fantastic new song only comes in at 23 pure disaster
