It'd be terrible for the diversity of the charts and thus what artists are given spotlights etc

Charts historically are reflected in 2 main forms Albums: Bodies of work that people are buying and listening to Singles: Stand alone songs people are buying/listening to. The singles chart is not supposed to reflect what album people are listening to, and the album chart is not supposed to reflect what singles people are listening to. Otherwise the inidividual charts become redundant and you might as well just have one. This is a problem with the streaming age, as albums are getting high sales based of people streaming a few singles and equally people scoring 10 "hits" in one week because they released an album. It's reductive and defeats the meaning of either chart. A top 10 should be a recognisable song to the GP, not just an album track that's benefitting from being track one on Harrys new album. Its also bad for the industry as fewer acts will be represented in the official charts Edited May 28, 2022 by Otter
