You are buying CDs in the same way you buy vinyls. Its very very different. When one artists occupies almost all of the top 20 you cant tell me that something isnt wrong. I agree the counting mechanism needs to be tweaked and the Chart Company are in fact considering this - e.g. only singles should count towards the singles chart, not album tracks - but you can't discount streaming entirely. Hey liamgallagher1992 those singles chart rules changes come into effect this week. Will probably help Liam (and Noel) chart higher... www.nme.com/news/music/official-charts-company-new-rules-cut-ed-sheeran-dominance-2094617"From this Friday (June 30), only the three most popular tracks from a lead artist will be eligible for entry into the Singles Chart, with the streams-to-sales ratio also being cut in half to “accelerate” the removal of existing songs from the chart in order to usher in brand new releases. The first chart to be affected by these new changes will be published on July 7. Speaking to Music Week, Official Charts Company chief executive Martin Talbot explained that the new regulations aimed to “support new music.” “This is not a chart for album tracks; we want to remain the Official Singles Chart, for singles,” he said. “It’s tougher than ever for new music and developing artists to break through, and this is us doing our bit… This is about injecting energy back into the chart.”

It means literally nothing now, the positions are determined so arbitrarily, they've just pulled a figure out of their asses for how much streams are worth, one they've now decided was wrong so they're going to change their fucking fudge factor and see if that helps, it's trial and error for fuck sake. What a farce. What they should have done, if they weren't a collection of mongs, is trial their ideas first for a year or so behind closed and see what the chart would have looked like if it was the actual chart, then they could have avoided all the Ed Sheeran album track nonsense and worked quietly until they were sure they had it sussed.

So...predictions for China Town? It doesn't have the same attention as the Wall of Glass release did in the general public and also isn't as instantly appealing, so probably won't reach the same highs. Hopefully it scrapes top 40 but I'm thinking it may end up 50-60 range.

Wall of Glass is up to #48 this week. Nice chart run for this kind of song nowdays. And for Chinatown, probably it'll even not chart in Top 100. It has 0 promotion, still no videoclip and free for all preorders.

It has 0 promotion, still no videoclip and free for all preorders. Nice, I really didn't expect "Wall of glass" to climb up the charts after 4 weeks. So that's 60, 21, 37, 52, 48. Without a video & any airplay, I don't think "Chinatown" will trouble the charts, but perhaps it'll manage to get in the top 100 at a paltry #89 or something.

This isn't a single - it's a teaser for the album and an incentive to get pre-orders!

Shame. I personally think it's better than Wall Of Glass.

#48 for its 5th week? Who the fuck is LG? Ed sheeran? It's hard for me to think any gallagher song to stay in the charts for so long post BHN years. Probably what a life... Amazing. Rkid s flying high.
For first time I really expect good healthy sales for his album n to stay in the charts for weeks. I hope to be lucky n not have a huge pop release the same week.
As for Chinatown it's more like a teaser for the album n not imo a proper single, so I don't care if it charts or not. Job is done again

Not trying to put a downer on things but is the jump in chart position not likely to be due to the change in method of counting that is referenced further up the page?

Charts really should be determined by actual sales. Stream? I don't know. That doesn't sound organic to me. Seems like it could be manipulated to some degree. Seems artificial.

I think with them giving away an album with concert tickets will really shoot him up the charts bc as I said on here before you sell 20k Copy's and you have yourself a top 20 hit. He will have to sell at least 30 or 40k tickets for the tour right? I'd assume they would all count the day the album comes out if they are smart. I was reading something sad that record company's will do to make someone they wanna push seem like a hit by buying up their own albums to make them chart. I think that's pretty sad but they do it

I think that's pretty sad but they do it Hampton creek. They used to do that with their mayonnaise to inflate demand and get more orders in. It's a reasonably common tactic I believe, if people think you're successful they'll think there's a reason for that success, then shops will get more in and consumers will buy your product because it's so "popular", now it really is successful. At least that's the theory behind it.
