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.
marcooni
One record Drake has busted wide open is the lowest paid-for sales ever for a Number 1 single and he's manged to thrash his own record 5 times, as sales get lower and lower each week.

Drake has had about 42,500 sales from streaming this week. That is why Drake is number 1.
Dan Love
The only song that has been number 1 during Don't Let Me Down's chart run has been Drake - One Dance.
Painmix King
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

Mark Victor
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!
Brian Quinn
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.
James England
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."

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. :)
C
chartwatcher
congratulations?? Get lost Drake you are 11 in the sales chart lol no problem with him getting number 1 but come on spotify stop the fixing, and yeah Olly Murs new song sounds like what Calvin Harris and John Newman's new collaboration could of been, fantastic song sounds like The Weeknd, and don't know if you noticed Olé missed the top 100 as it was 78 in the midweek update, great reggae voice from John but it was a letdown so flat and one dimensional in subject a celebrity gimmick and a dig, oddly enough only released through Newman's label and not credited to Harris, was happy to see Dancing On My Own rise though a great tune for a cover that is shameful not original by him
C
chartwatcher
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
R
RIME
Airplay doesn't factor into the chart. And sales do hold power over streams: namely that you need 100 streams to compensate for just a single sale.
C
chartwatcher
You missed my point it should be sales only streaming is pointless
C
chartwatcher
Streams sound like too easy a way for companies to fix figures good old sales it should be not excuses for cheats to get in
C
chartwatcher
you missed the point should be sales only back in the good old way streaming makes it too easy for companies to fix figures and cheat the charts listens equalling a sale no a sale is a sale end of
Andii
No problem with them measuring streaming, or even having a streaming and sales chart. The problem is replacing a chart with a 60+ year legacy with something dramatically different, while calling it the same thing and making false comparisons to charts before that change.

Hope next week BRITNEY or KATY will kick out DRAKE from no1 !!!!!
R
RIME
Rise is Apple-exclusive. Unless Apple Music is stronger in the UK than I thought, then its chances at #1 are a bit iffy. Make Me has a better chance, but let's not let day 1 hype cloud us to if its pace slogs as the week goes on.
J

Hopefully Britney does better than Katy. Her song is a lot better!

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?!!!!
R
RIME
Remember the 80s and 90s when multiweek #1 songs were the rule, not the exception and the current records were set? Heck remember the 50s when there'd be almost yearly a song with 9 weeks and several between 6 and 8? Two can play this game.
Jamie Crampton
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.
C
chartwatcher
agreed
James England
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
Jamie Crampton
I like your optimism my friend ;)
Ireneusz Chmielewski
5 new entries in Top 10 and the brand new #1? Good joke !!!
R
RIME
I understand that in your sarcasm you pine for that era of charts, but if I may opine: that era's volatility is what I'd refer to as bordering meaninglessness. Namely that record labels were able to play to the rules of the chart by allowing long periods to pre-order a track to get that massive first week, especially since they'd withhold the song from purchase when other regions already got it, meaning that first week would also be its first week on the chart, leading to sensational situations like "Fight Song Debuts at No. 1!" that felt more like posturing than natural chart action. With streaming, not only do certain hype tracks suffer (since launch tracks are hit and miss on streaming, such as "You Don't Know Love" this week) but now it's far less easy for an existing song to be withheld from debuting before the proper label push since streaming is far more open (e.g. "Perfect Strangers", "Stitches"). Even if it isn't as exhilarating, it feels more real and accurate, at least to me.
Andii
Record companies play games regardless, and this whole thing with Drake is just as bad as what you describe. They could equally withhold streams if they wanted to; the sites host different tracks depending on country. That change has got more to do with them finally realising how worldwide music has become, mainly thanks to the Internet and social media, and the switch to a global release day.
I've no problem with measuring "streams" (or online listens which is what they really are; only the technology and nomenclature is new, not the activity). The problem comes when you start trying to decide that so many streams equal a sale; that's nonsense. No matter how many streams there are, it's a notably different decision when someone takes the decision to exchange money for a particular song, whether that's buying it on sheet music, like in the 1950s, or as a digital download.
Painmix King
And Drake now at No.14 in the sales chart. What a farce!
Calum Pk7
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!!
I Am A Stegosaurus
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.
I Am A Stegosaurus
Oh and another good thing I guess is my jam Mr Brightside still in the top 100. Doesn't outweigh the cons this week though, especially since I've just noticed that annoying Don't Mind song is at 10.
C
chartwatcher
agree so much with you
R
RIME
Awesome week with a nice top 5 reshuffling. I get the feeling Perfect Strangers could be gunning for #1 next.
I Am A Stegosaurus
I know I'm literally replying to EVERYONE but you have a point. At least there's solid movement for once
SH
Scott Harris
Pretty sure Kungs will never listen to Drake's music ever again after this...
I Am A Stegosaurus
Good thought
Jamie Crampton
They wont be the only ones. He's terrible.
I.B.
They should just remove all songs from Drake! Period!
I Am A Stegosaurus
Songs ain't that bad, just his #1 run
C
chartwatcher
So olé fails to chart to chart in the top 100 and Olly Murs fantastic new song only comes in at 23 pure disaster
I Am A Stegosaurus
IKR either real music is dead or the chart fixers are back
R
RIME
Even if streaming wasn't a thing, it still sold less than what several songs in the top 10 did. Perfect Strangers in particular is above it.
In this case, You Don't Know Love was a dud on streaming and apparently got practically nothing in equivalent sales, which torpedoed its rank (in pure sales, it's No. 7, which is better of course but nothing too special).
C
chartwatcher
which is fair enough but it deserved higher than 23 then
C
chartwatcher
real music is usually underrated to the passing trends
C
chartwatcher
And it is at number 8 actually
