New Zealand jumping on the closest thing to Lorde during her eternal absence, I see them.

[Jude]

Congrats!

 

Ariana's Tu,n is so stable OMG.

Do they have a limit of like at most four songs per album charting? It's weird four of them got into the top 10 and the rest nowhere to be found on the top 40

I do some quick check and they have some sort of artist cap rule by adding this section around July 2018.

 

Quote

3.2.2 Artist Appearance Limitation

In the first week of an album's release, the named artist(s) may achieve up to 4 new entries into the Top40, subject to the following conditions:

a) The four top performing new entries in terms of chart points will be eligible.

b) Any single appearing on the album which has already charted remains eligible to appear in the Top40,

c) Should there already be one track from the album in the Top40, the artist may have a maximum of 3 new entries. The three, top performing new entries in terms of chart points will be eligible,

d) Should there already be two (or more) tracks from the album in the Top40, then the artist may have a maximum of 2 new entries. The two, top performing new entries in terms of chart points will be eligible. This rule shall apply for the first four weeks of an album's availability. Once this period is over, the above restrictions are removed.

So that kinda explained we don't see much new entries from Ariana tracks like Bloodline on the first tracking week she drops TU,N.

It's dumb. We want accuracy not... I don't even know the logic of that, tbh. 

 

And mess at Divide being #6 after more than 2 years.

I don't think it's that dumb tbh. If it wasn't in place, Ed would've had the top 10 here for months

 

There isn't really a point having non-singles clogging the singles chart. It defeats the purpose of the chart.
