The 'Ed Sheeran' situation is ridiculous! Look... either base all songs on popularity or have a 'value' based chart system. In other words if Ed Sheeran (or anyone else) releases an album and it happens that 10 or whatever tracks are the most popular in a single week, then so be it... OR (how I would 'score' the Charts) on a points system based on money grossed. My system would be: 1x FULL subscription stream (fully played track) = 1 chart point. (Each chart point is equal to 0.5p paid for a 'single' based on a £10 monthly streaming subscription would have 2000 tracks streamed per average user per month) This would mean a download would be equal to 198 chart points, a CD single would be around 998 chart points, a 7" vinyl single around 1998 chart points and a 12" vinyl single around 2598 chart points. This would also encourage singles to be available on physical formats. Video and audio streams should not be counted from 'free' non-subscripion platforms. There! I've sorted the Charts out for you! (PS: next week please count in the 20,000,000 plays of 'Snooker Loopy' by Chas & Dave featuring The Matchroom Mob i've done this week on the multiple music players I've got in my home thus making it next weeks Number 1!)
Rob Parkinson
I like your breakdown system but I do think album tracks shouldnt be able to chart on the singles chart. If tracks are doing well from the album then release them properly as a single before it should be able to make an impact on the singles chart.
David Eve
I agree with excluding album tracks from the singles chart. This would negate the need for the 3 song rule in most instances. However, this would also reduce the impact of double dipping that makes the market look bigger than it is, so in all likelihood the music business will not go for it. By double dipping i mean a stream (or song download) can count for two different charts (singles and albums).
Rob Parkinson
That would be the point though a single would only count towards the single and not the album. The album should only be counted as the album being streamed so the album track version of the single wouldnt count towards the singles chart only the album
David Eve
That I agree with completely. Though as I said removing double dipping, is unlikely to fly with the industry as it reduces the 'apparent' size of the market - even though it would really reflect its true size. At least in the UK and many countries, the streams of singles is currently modified compared to album streams when contributing to the album sales. They don't do this in the US, which consequently vastly overinflates the 'sales' of many albums. You can also see sales quoted that include the 'sales' of singles before the albums come out, which really is ridiculous.
Restricting singles to the singles chart and album tracks to the album chart would eliminate many of the existing problems.
David Eve
Well this is a bit of a joke now isn't it. "I don't Care" re-entering at no.3. Presumably it's no longer on ACR due to modifying the rules to only 25% above market (instead of 50%) to reset to SCR. Also "Take Me Back To London" will disappear from 3! It is still early so could easily change with only one full day of streams included....
Are they estimating the streams for Saturday (based on Friday's data?)
DC
Darren Chambers
It’s not because of ACR it has come back in as a Re Entry. Everyone can only have 3 songs as a main artist in the chart at any time. The highest 3 show in the official chart. If these 3 happen to move around then a song can disappear and come back in again. Like I Don’t Care swapping with the Take Me To London which has now disappeared altogether. Another stupid rule. If your track(s) sell why shouldn’t they all be in??
David Eve
ACR is why "I Don't Care" was not in the charts last week. It would have been the no.1 single last week if it hadn't been on ACR. Due to the increase in streams, probably as a consequence of the album release, the revised greater than 25% of the market rule for resetting to SCR kicked in this week for "I Don't Care". That is why "I Don't Care" re-enters at no.3. It will be on SCR for a further 3 weeks (or longer until there is a 3-week decline in streams). "Bad Guy" has also switched back to SCR.
DC
Darren Chambers
Where has Take Me To London gone then? Now the forth highest Ed Sheehan track so excluded from the chart. ACR would only make the song fall down the chart quicker not disappear altogether!!
David Eve
The accelerated chart ratio (ACR) is what knocked "I Don't Care" down from being the no.1 selling Ed track to the 7th best selling Ed track last week allowing it fall foul of the 3-track rule. If it wasn't for ACR last week, the 3-track rule would have been irrelevant for "I Don't Care" as it was actually the no.1 single overall (if on standard chart ratio (SCR)). ACR (in combination with the 3-track rule) is why "I Don't Care" was not in the chart last week. The resetting from ACR to SCR this week is why it has re-entered at 3 (on the first look at least).
I completely agree about it being a stupid rule and as stated above I think that album-only tracks should not be eligible for the single charts, which would rule out the need for the 3-track rule. ACR should be removed too as it has led to numerous fake no.1's since its inception.
Piran
I always knew ‘Senorita’ would probably be going back to #1, but I didn’t think it would be this soon! :)
‘I Don’t Care’ at #3 might be one of the highest re-entries the chart has ever had.
Can’t wait to hear Freya’s debut album either, since I’ve liked everything from her so far!
Foxes
It might also be the fastest any song has been taken off ACR. Apparently the OCC just changed the rules so that a song now only needs a 25% increase in streams to be taken off ACR, and it definitely seems like 'I Don't Care' and 'bad guy' increased by at least that much last week due to the album & remix, respectively. I don't know if any song has ever been taken off ACR just 1 week after being put on it before!
Piran
For an album bomb like Ed's or a remix with a big artist like JB, both of those would definitely be enough to take them off ACR, but that would only been for just this coming week, right? I'm actually glad about this rule change, but would still prefer it if it never existed to begin with.
Speaking of which, do you know why 'Location' was took off ACR this week? It jumped something like 38-13 in the latest chart, so I'm assuming that's what happened.
Foxes
Yeah, since 'I Don't Care' and 'bad guy' increased by 25% this past week, they will've been taken off ACR this Friday so that they could be on the normal ratios for this upcoming chart, and they should stay on the normal ratios until they decrease in streams for 3 consecutive weeks again.
With 'Location's official video being released this past Monday, I can only assume that the label specifically requested for the song to be taken off ACR sometime before last Friday in preparation for it. As far as I know, the label can specifically request for up to 3 songs from an album to be taken off ACR for situations like 'Location' and 'Perfect', where the songs impacted the chart for long enough after the album release to be put on ACR, but then they get pushed as official singles later on.
Rob Parkinson
It does seem crazy that Ed Sheeran is causing a change to the chart rules yet again with his new album.
I haven't listened to Freya's album yet in response to your previous response but I am looking forward to having a good listen to all the tracks in full.
Piran
Yeah, once is fair enough, but he's essentially been at least partly responsible for rule changes three times now between his last two albums!
I'd imagine Freya's album will probably debut at #2 behind Ed.
Rob Parkinson
🤞hopefully a no.2 debut behind ed Sheeran would be an amazing achievement
Piran
It got #3 in the end behind Ed & Lewis, but that's still amazing for a debut album! :D
Rob Parkinson
Yeah that is a great achievement and is most likely at #3 behind the biggest 2 albums of the year, certainly so far but most likely for the whole year too
Piran
Yeah, I'd be surprised if anything can pass Ed or Lewis before end of the year.
Hoping Taylor's new album will give her a fourth #1 when it comes out on the 23rd!
