I agree with this. Why not go further and only count tracks submitted to them as an official single?

That would be a good idea instead of 3 this way streaming albums dosent ruin the charts

[Bradley 57,124]

Bad rule in my opinion.

If an artist has worked his/her a*s off in bringing more than three songs to chart, then the chart should reflect it.

I don't care if it's good or bad for my fav, charts shouldn't work that way.

[Benji 20,113]

I think it's a good rule to have just until we find a way to count streams proportionately. I don't like the idea of say an epic breakthrough happening and it not being correctly represented.

[rumours 45,521]

If a song makes it onto the top 100, it should be represented regardless of the artist (imo).

[HermioneGranger 608]

Good! Do the same in the U.S

[RAMROD 104,161]

Is this because of Ed Sheeran?

 

[Finneas 792]

Where is the source?

I think Ed was the tipping point  It happened on a smaller scale with Drake and Kendrick's recent releases too.

Yeah.

If I recall correctly Ed have like 4-5 sings charting when his new album released few months ago, is that correct?

That is crazy and very unfair for other artists. So, I hope this new rules can help.

That's stupid to be honest. Lying to make things easier and more diverse on the charts 

If some one has 4+ hits then we should respect that and not give others some leeway. 

Yes but they include album tracks that are bought individually on iTunes so if someone buys only certain tracks they can chart and we will end up with divide 2.0 which angered a lot of fans and industry members because every single track on the album charted in the top 20 because of it taking up 80% of it when some of them only had like 2 sales differences between other songs

MTE. Them doing ^this, or reformulating the streaming percentage would make more sense than what they're doing.

So overkill

[Radio Ga Ga 5,651]

I think 3 might be too little, I say 5

people like Rihanna or Justin beiber actually have multiple singles that would chart really well and is not just because of album release week
