1,500 streams of any songs from an album to a full LP sale.

Official Charts will take the 12 most-streamed tracks from each album. The top two tracks will be down-weighted in line with the average of the next 10.

These streams will then be added together and divided by 1,000. This ‘stream factor’ will then be added to the physical/digital sales of the album.

The reason for down-weighting the two most streamed tracks is to ensure that if an album features up to two smash hit singles, streams of these tracks do not skew the performance of their parent album in the Official Album Chart
