Robbie is number 9 on sales but in the main chart he's at number 51 due to streaming. Streaming is a joke and it should be minimum 500 streams equals one sale, 100 is too low. Streaming is depriving artists like Robbie whose fans don't stream much the chance of having top ten or top twenty single placings. I imagine if he hotness to number 1 on sales he'd be about number 30 or lower on the main chart. Please please change the streaming as for older artists currently it's not a level playing field

The problem is, sales are in decline so are becoming less relevant. Increasing the streaming ratio does not address this and the chart would not accurately reflect the popular tracks. 85% of chart "sales" is now streaming.
