Has the advent of streaming made the music charts redundant?
Possibly, but at the very least they've become incredibly stagnant with curated playlists on the likes of Spotify being played by passive listeners as a sort of radio replacement. Hence the same songs are getting played over and over and over again causing an incredibly stale chart rundown.
Take a gander at the latest list of Australian top ten singles for more of an insight on what I'm saying.
Awful. For the most part we get the same old tired rubbish gridlocked but now ARIA have the answer.
More streaming data.
Yes, that's right. More. This however is courtesy of YouTube. Whether or not this makes much of an impact remains to be seen.
The YouTube/ARIA alliance comes into effect this Friday, March the fourth.
