it´s the fourth week in a row, in which the most streamed track of the week isn´t no.1 in the Main Chart. Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber have been no.1 for only a single week in Streamings Charts. Since then they were only No.2 on Streamings but no.1 In Downloads every single week, until this week, since it´s release. I Don´t care is at the top for a fifth week although Old Town Road is leading the Streamings Charts once again. It´s great to see that the most streamed song isn´t automatically No.1 in the Official Singles Charts as well.

Shame about Liam Gallaghers song not being higher. Number one seller but can’t even get in the top 20. Shows how powerful streaming is these days.

You said it.Streaming the enemy of the veteran acts whose old school fans like me hate it..it'll be interesting to see if Little Mix can end the reign of team SHE-BER(Ed SHEERAN AND JUSTIN BIEBER to you).

Despite 'Old Town Road' being ahead on Monday, I'm not surprised about 'I Don't Care' retaining its lead, but I love the Top 20 debut for 'Heaven'! :)
