ACR only applies to the weekly chart. All streams count equally towards the total sales of all tracks.This is confusing though - that Music Week quote above is only from nearly two weeks ago, yet yesterday they published this
But just to make things really confusing, Running Up That Hill’s overall consumption is actually down 5.1% week-on-week (remember that last week its high streaming volume was then heavily penalised by ACR). So it’s No.1 may not actually be for its biggest streaming week. For the record, the Kate Bush classic has 771,568 sales post-1994, and 165,762 this year alone (the latter figure apparently includes one picture disc vinyl edition from Record Store Day 2013 that was finally shifted to a fan last week).
So if it recorded 771k post 1994, plus the 250k @jyxz mentioned, that would put it over 1m, as @The Anti-Dubsden suggests
Why should it suddenly have jumped so much? Have they streaming sales previously calculated on ACR been reallocated to SCR? Surely not.
RUTH is officially a million "seller"



I’m enduringly entertained by whichever article it was in which she was described as “the most stoned woman in England” (
