Sadly 5000 sales will be a gap easily closed on Stevie. Jess Glynn got 14,000 sales from streaming by the end of the last week which she'll get a similar amount of this week, a top three placing is excellent for Stevie, really can't wait to see where he charts, anything that beats the previous peak for a Voice winner is a good sign in the age of streaming

How do you find out how much sales there making from streaming?
I'm more amazes by Nick Jonas to be honest. I was listening to that song last summer . why is it only charting now
Because record labels in the UK insist on holding back new releases for a couple of months to build up pre-order sales. That way when the singles get released, they get an artificial sales figure.
It's no longer what a song sold in 7 days. It's what a song has sold in the last two months as a pre-order - as well as once its released. In short, it's a load of bollocks!!!
Cheerleader by Omi is going to do the exact same thing next month. A song that has already been #1 in Australia (weeks ago) and all over Europe.
The UK chart is so stale and stagnant even the most new songs have been around for ages. Stevie McCrorie would actually be one of the freshest new entries this week which says it all.
I tend to use Kworb as it's a great website that monitors sales trends throughout the day.
Thanks for all this although the Kworb one is slightly confusing plus Stevie is still two on there as well😊 plus also none of the top three songs are on that steaming chart are they? I can't see them if they are.

iTunes is a rolling chart so it just keeps updating throughout the day.
Kworb doesn't update as frequently so that's why Stevie is still showing up at #2 there.
Kworb isn't that confusing once you know how it works. Songs in dark red are declining in sales whilst songs in dark green are increasing in sales. In fact, it's just updated itself.
As for Spotify, the streaming chart is difficult to explain but it's virtually a week behind the singles chart. Eg; Hold My Hand climbs up to #5 in the streaming chart which is on par with the week when the song entered at #1. You never see songs enter both single & stream charts high in the same week, there just seems to be a one week delay with streaming.

Thanks am still a little confused but I think I sort of understand it a bit better now 😊

I'm amazed 'Jealous' is only just getting a UK release, it's so 'old' relatively speaking it's already been performed as a cover by a Voice US contestant on ...the autumn edition 2014. Meanwhile the UK is only just getting the actual release. Ridiculous.
Radio Manchester interviewed him and played it yesterday, obvious connection in that early Voice rounds were held at Media City where the station is based. However, maybe other BBC local stations have followed suit?
He's hardly dropping that fast though. Plus there's not much in it anyway. The top four are pretty close.
In the past 24 hours he's gone from selling over 90% of what Nick Jonas (#1) is selling, to selling just over half of what he's selling, I'd say thats a massive drop.

That happens to most songs though. They can't always sell at that level. Plus his song is finally on Spotify which will help it a bit more.

Well Nick Jonas has inevitably gone to #1 on iTunes - it was always looking likely to happen.
However, Stevie probably needs a few more TV appearances and performances to ensure Lost Stars doesn't plummet dramatically by the end of the week.
Jess Glynne is also #2 combined on iTunes (single version and Now 90 effect) putting Stevie into third place.
However, there's still a fairly big sales gap between Stevie and Ed Sheeran's Bloodstream in 4th place.
Now that it's on Spotify it will be interesting to see if Stevie gets enough streams to climb up the streaming chart.
Is there a stream chart?

There sure is.

Notice how similar it is to the sales chart though.
iTunes tends to automatically update its chart every couple of minutes.
That just means that Jess Glynne has sold slightly more than Stevie in the last hour - enough to reclaim the #2 spot.

I would like to know this as well.
Radio 1 and 2 have each played the track once, but that's all.

1) Jess Glynne
2) Nick Jonas
3) Stevie
or Stevie could drop out to like #6 behind James Bay, Ed and Years & Years if he keeps plummeting down at the speed hes going :O
