the singles charts are not true charts and haven't been for some years now because "streaming" has allowed
non-singles to be listed in the singles charts...
this is not just the UK(where I have taken this from, but all over the world.)
If they have to use 'streaming' to calculate a chart then the RIAA, ARIA, BPI etc etc should use two chart systems,
1...a real chart of singles, and
2...a digital and/or streaming chart.
im skimming over the UK charts and Bieber is totally dominating the charts at the moment,
it doesn't just happen to Bieber, a lot of artists get results like this now, especially the big ones, but this is
how they stand at the moment with Bieber being the example I use.
18 of the top100 so-called singles are by Bieber....
even The Beatles and Elvis Presley in their peak periods could not match this feat, but back then "singles were singles"!!!!!
#1..."love yourself"
#2..."sorry"
#4..."what do you mean"
#16."i'll show you"
#25."company"
#27."where are you now"
#33."mark my words"
#34."the feeling"
#38."no pressure"
#41.purpose"
#46."children"
#50."no sense"
#61."life is worth living"
#66."been you"
#75."we are"
#77."get used to me"
#89."trust"
#91."all in it"
