Default Streaming in the (album) charts

What’s yall opinion on it? Streaming in the charts in general too I guess

In the US this week the #2 album is predicted to sell LESS than 1,000 copies but because of streaming, its SPS is at ~50k

Should streaming be allowed in the album chart when it’s already included in the singles chart, especially in cases like this where the single is literally selling the album

no because the charts are literally supposed to a ranking of who sold most so

it’s just a mess

No. I'm completely against streaming being involved in charts full stop.

As Scott said, it's supposed to be a reflection of who sold the most.

I think there should just be two separate charts, a sales chart and a streaming chart, converting streams to sales just to merge them into one seems pointless to me. It's made the charts a mess and less meaningful than they used to be.

Streaming should be included, charts should represent the most popular music whether it's been bought, downloaded or streamed ��

But an album is set to be #2 in the charts this week despite selling less than 1k, surely there’s something wrong with the system if this is what happens

it's sad that actual sales are drying, but you have to adopt to the future, pop girlies need to find some way of targeting music on streaming services instead

Streaming charts and sales charts should be two different things. And people will only be interested in one of them.

But that's not what a chart should be.

It's about sales, not listens. Otherwise radio play would factor in.
