Yet nobody's come up with a response to my post that a sales only chart would be out of touch with what's actually popular as sales in general are so low. I mean is 100 streams equating to 1 sale really that unfair? I'm unlikely to play a song that many times in a week if I bought it never mind on a streaming site which shows that it is an incredibly popular song to be notching up over 6m streams in a week. Charts measure popularity so thy are doing their job in that respect.

Another week at #1 for One Dance. Now the longest reigning UK #1 since Umbrella
. Well done Drake.Like, I don't even dislike the song. But it's certainly not good enough to be one of the longest reigning UK #1s ever. |

only 10 sales count per person in a week anyway. But you only count a download once thats what is unfair, 20000 people might buy a song and listen to them 10 times a week but none of that counts, yet 20000 people can stream a song for 8 weeks and that will count as 2000 sales each week. A stream should just count once towards the chart the first time you play it and thats it.
Out of Drake's 6m streams in a week, at a guess lets say there were probably around 2m different people who played it (purely a guess I'm not sure in reality how many it would be). If we only counted unique streams then you could say he had 20,000 streams in the last week which count as sales. JT streamed around 3m this week. Say 1m were unique. That's 10,000 streams. Looking at the figures that would put JT on around 45,000 chart sales (he sold around 35k pure sales this week) with Drake on 43,000. JT's figures are estimated so Drake could still have been #1. Perhaps a fairer formala than the current one I agree but I certainly don't agree with a sales only chart. |

i cannot see the appeal in drake at all. he's not particularly attractive, he's not very charismatic, he isn't that good of a rapper and his lyrics are nothing to write home about. he seems to be the rapper that all the young, usually white, teenagers grab onto to make it look like they are "rap fans". much like eminem was back in the 00's. i do love "hold on, we're going home" though but that is mostly down to the vocalist rather than drake.
![]() ![]() At least he's a break from those cliched gangsta rappers (yes there's still that influence, but it's majorly toned down compared to, say, 50 cent). Drake offers something more classy and refined.

This is an absolutely insane statistic. I can actually see the appeal of Umbrella, but One Dance...?
Like, I don't even dislike the song. But it's certainly not good enough to be one of the longest reigning UK #1s ever. Once Dance pretty much encapsulates what is so very wrong with the charts right now. Drake's pure sales are too paltry, and the song too uninspired to warrant having the longest running number one in UK history. |

I don't understand the music taste of a lot of people and they don't understand my music taste. But I see the appeal of One Dance and Drake. I thought Hotline Bling was woeful though.
