Baccara with "Yes, Sir I Can Boggie" are just #57 despite being #02 on Single Sales Chart (which is amazing)!
They really need to change the proportion of streaming in the charts. It's insanely high (especially when you think they are counting twice - for singles and albums charts). Despite 100 streams being 1 single those same streams are also 1/10 of an album so in reality 50 streams are 1 single and another 50 streams are 1/10 of an album (from every 100 streams that a song had).
I don't have singles that I bought and listened to them less than 200 times on the first year. This proportion is really wrong. Even more when a single/song sale gives the artist the same money as 3000 streams of that song give. It's insane that they don't correct this because record labels want to control what's on the charts TOP 10.

Oh well it was good while it lasted with Children In Need. No chance against streaming as I said .Would have been different before 2015.

It was the #01 best selling single in the country. Streaming is not that different from radio since 80% of the persons listen to already made existing playlists.

I know Christmas day maybe different time for christmas charts on radio 1 as sales & Streams up to christmas Eve due to calendar, a fact: no christmas charts is history has include the Christmas Day Sales the 1st day of christmas it always been a day to up of a week before christmas day, it traditional shows it frozen for christmas or due to week ending look like it, remember charts is always open every day of the year and christmas day too, hope radio 1 choose the future of mornings for chart for more radio success and audience by millions than afternoon at 4pm of much less, the most important is new christmas songs or modern Christmas songs within 3 years of release to now getting in the charts, we can still have classic of course but lets not go overboard, new ones for current times, but with terms of Christmas Classic that hasn't been in the charts for a while/ in a very long time i would love to see in the Top 40 Singles is Greg Lake - I Believe In Father Christmas, Darlene Love All Alone Christmas, Billy Mack Christmas Is All around, or Florin Street Band My Favorite Time Of The Year, Water Babies with Under The Tree, classic,
