Thuggin Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 If they want shorter stays at #1 why don't they just put more weight on sales? I don't agree with either method, considering it's a chart that is supposed to reflect popularity, but at least that would make more sense. But the fact that Despacito is still selling 2.27x as much as Wild Thoughts and ourstreaming it too shows that it's the more popular song and deserves to be #1 still.

umich Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The rule is dumb. They're basically suppressing popularity. A reverse warholian indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkboy Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 UK mid 1 DJ Khaled feat. Rihanna & Bryson Tiller - Wild Thoughts (33,507) 2 Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber - Despacito (30,048) 3 French Montana feat. Swae Lee - Unforgettable (24,348) only 3k difference and with today big sales increase (I expect also a big streaming increase too) there are basically no chances for WT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Rose Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Wild Thoughts will be #1 next week, if not this week. How will this rule affect songs that smash months after the release? This is a mess. Labels agreed to it though but I think they will soon challenge it. If not then, the U.K. songs chart is as reliable as Mediatraffic songs chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, if a song sees a sales increase when in the 300:1 period, it should go back to the 150:1 ratio until it has again 3 weeks of decreases. That's the only thing that can make a little sense of such a nonsensical rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
