Yep and that change may now be in effect. This should temporarily aid acts that are strong in sales.

BJ Joe updated UK single sales but for some reason its not in the BJ thread.

Do you know what, looking at the biggest selling singles just makes me hate streaming. Drake's One Dance "sold" 1.94 million but only actually sol 500 something thousand. almost 75% streams?! Really?! I read somewhere that they re going to change it to be 150 streams for 1 sale.
They already changed it, actually!

Here's the actual $1 conversion rates as of right now, courtesy of a PJ insider:

75 Apple Music streams
130 pay-access Spotify streams
670 ad-supported Spotify streams
398 pay-access Pandora streams
510 ad-supported Panodra streams
159 YouTube Red streams
1008 ad-supported YouTube streams

The figures are great. This puts Little Mix high in the public consciousness. They still have the US and the two tours to follow.

I'm not sure about the tv fly on the wall thing either, may be they won't have time for it?

I never thought they would be as big as this.
They still have work to do in Europe. Went to spend Christmas at my family in Paris none of them know who little mix are. I've offered the kids the last 4 cds but I doubt they play them. However if you say 5H or DC, everyone knows who they are.

I'll be happy once they sit on the European market. Forget about the us lol

The Brits qualifying period usually ends in Nov. so it would never have made it. Last year they made an exception to extend to Dec. to include Adele. Maybe SLS made it?

This is also why I cant take the Brits as seriously as the Grammys, they arbitrarily create and delete categories and nomination criteria year to year. There''s no firm standards.
It ends Dec 31st this year.

I think the last slot was between Little Mix and Clean Bandit and i'm sure CB would've sold more

A shame because I think SLS could've had a chance at winning the BRIT.

Oh, where did they say that? They didnt do that the last 2 years. See, they keep changing the rules to suit their agenda.

What changed so radically this year for LM to go from zero to hero with streaming? Did the public just have an epiphany? Was it down to better label strategy on the timing? I dont get it. That dramatic explosion with SOTMX in its first week especially.

It's in the terms and conditions, i'll try and find the link

Thank you! My Google searching never turned up anything.

Maybe they were trying to give LM more time! Now they'd have to nominate them for Best Group or Best Album.

I couldn't find 2017's again only 2016's so I don't know what happened there. It'll probably end up just being a waiting game to see what gets nominated, when are the nominations revealed?

I wonder how will a touch video affect its position. Been watching some of the YT clips and folks seem to be loving it.

Look @ Jade's face when he talks about the birthday tweet. It probably wasn't even them who tweeted him. I wish HQ would stop pretending to be the girls.

'Touch' is more of a grower than I thought. And LA is great on it.

Surely, Little Mix can't be ignored by the Brits?

I am finding Oops has finally grown on me big time so i now love it almost as much as Touch.

Touch is more than a grower. That song is a bonafide hit.

Not many songs can peak on the charts at #4 with just ONE performance and no video. Casual music fans LOVE the song and it's doing the job of reaching beyond their own fans. The amounts of snapchats I've seen with the song in the background especially during this festive season has really surprised me. The video is only going to strengthen the song's performance.

Even if Touch was to drop down now, the fact it peaked at #4 for two weeks is very impressive with such little promo. I think it will continue to do well though, especially when the video is released. Looks like it will be certified Silver in less than two weeks time and I think that's just the beginning.

We've discussed this. It's 12th when duplicates are taken out.
I'm confused too, does he mean it's finishing place is 12th or it's just got 10th place after the 2 dupes are taken out?

I have my first conversion! My friend, who's older than me, was curious about the concert I'm going to in March. I told her about Little Mix briefly highlighting their singing and humor (absolutely no mention of exes) and she looked them up on her own and said she liked them. In return she's informing me about Ariana Grande.

Who? Kidding.

Seen on Twitter, SOTME being covered by a big Chinese group for New Year's.

What is the context of this besides what you posted? Who what etc. Kind of excited it was used though, is that HK or the mainland?

Mainland, the group is based in Shanghai. I tried digging but didn't find anything else - it's probably in Chinese or on Weibo. Probably didn't pay any rights fees, heh.

Happy New Year's everyone!
