Changes to chart rules

The Official Charts Company announced plans in June to limit the number of songs by the same artist in the chart at the same time, to reflect popularity of singles rather than album tracks. Chart rules were altered from 7 July to help new artists break through by limiting the number of tracks by the same artist allowed in the chart at the same time to 3. The streaming to sales ratio remained largely unchanged but for songs which have spent a high number of weeks in the chart the ratio was altered to 300:1. This was largely in response to Ed Sheeran's album tracks dominating the chart, with all sixteen tracks from his third studio album ''÷'', reaching the top twenty in the same week.
