Easing chart congestion
In 2014 the British singles charts saw 42 no1s , In 2015 the number was 26 and this year it was just 11. How has this situation happened? Well the charts equate 100 streaming hits for 1 song as 1 sale, this has led to long runs at the top of the charts for the likes of Drake have had long runs at the top of the charts. Well now action has been taken with the number of streaming hits going up to 150 to equate to 1 sale, the hope being a much greater range of artists will get into the charts. One has to remember back in the days of just good old fashioned sales that both Bryan Adams and Wet, Wet, Wet had marathon runs at the top of the charts.
