It is the first chart which ranks audio streams from both ad-funded and subscription streaming services in the UK, which reflects the increasing interest in the new generation of music services such as Spotify, Deezer, Napster and We7.

K-pop sensation PSY’s Gangnam Style holds firm at Number 3, while Calvin Harris and Florence Welch’s Sweet Nothing continues to climb up the chart, surging seven places to Number 4. The Top 5 is completed by Taylor Swift’s We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, which is down one place to Number 5.
