Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good!

The value of a stream on a greatest hits album (relative to a stream of a new/current song), or the value of a stream of any song older than three years, should be reduced by 50% or 75% to stop hits album dominating when people are literally just streaming a handful of their individual songs.

But that wouldn't change Jessie's numbers at all? She would be a bit higher in the charts maybe but wouldn't get a single stream more because just because it wasn't counted, still more people would have listened to Abba's Gold. No matter how much a stream is worth, someone's Spotify is playing that old stuff instead of something new. Because the audience wants that.

The thing with this one is it is very general public friendly. They just never hear it because as said before, the general public seems to be fine with one or two albums per year, like currently Lewis Capaldi.

I'm not saying this specifically in relation to Jessie — in general, it would stop GHs clogging up the top 40 and give newer albums a more stable chart run on the same sales.

But what would be the outcome? Would anyone really care for chart runs when the sold copies are in the Hundreds anyway? Outside of stans having something better to brag about, the albums would still be commercial failures.

If I remember correctly the USA had a rule for legacy albums to not chart, until they changed it the week Blackout was released.

I think stripping out "old" greatest hits albums (anything older than 2 years is considered 'legacy' by the OCC) from the main albums chart would help things a lot. As things currently stand, GH albums by ABBA, Fleetwood Mac etc will never leave the Top 40.

Just catching up with BBC3’s I Kissed A Boy and hearing Free Yourself blasting over the first two gays introduced was very pleasing to me and my ears.
