Uptown funk is heavily featured on spotify where ben haenow isnt/nor wealdstone raider but streaming only counts for 1% of a sale. As in 100 streams = 1 sale. So basically, for half the week ben haenow's been no.1 on itunes & half of it's been uptown funk.

So to the point, wealdstone raider will almost defo get top 5 today & as to who gets no.1 we dont really know. It might not be Ben, i hope its not x factor ruins xmas no.1 imo.

I didn't say iTunes doesn't mean that much I just mean iTunes doesn't count for everything as there are a lot of other options to buy a song. Thousands do actually buy physical cd's especially stuff like The X Factor single....Its got stocking filler written all over it lol.

iTunes doesn't basically count for every sale it just gives an indication. The official chart and iTunes are never exactly the same amd cant you only use iTunes from an apple device? I personally hate apple and no longer have an ipad , iphone or Ipod I use my android phone for listening to music outside and download from Amazon or play.com.
