Taylor Swift climbs a place to No.1 with “Blank Space”, becoming her third chart-topping single in Australia and her second for this year after “Shake it off” spent three weeks at the top of the ARIA Singles chart back in September.
“Blank Space” becomes the 1026th No.1 single in Australia (1940 to 2014) and the 461st for ARIA (1983 to 2014), plus the song also leapt to the top of the US Billboard charts this week, knocking ‘Shake’ off the top, the first time a female artist has ever done so on the USA Singles chart. This is the first time that the both the words ‘Blank’ and ‘Space’ have been in a No.1 song title and is the third chart-topping single for the Big Machine record label.
The song also becomes the 669th No.1 in Australia for an American artist (‘Shake’ was #668) and the new No.1 becomes the second this decade for Taylor Swift, so she joins the tally of ‘Most Weeks at No.1: 2010’s’ alongside Bruno Mars, who has also achieved two number ones this decade and has so far notched up four weeks atop the ARIA Singles chart, plus she joins twenty-eight other acts since 1940 to have notched up three chart topping singles, including Jason DeRulo, Christina Aguilera, Pharrell Williams, Lady Gaga, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and many more.
So after five weeks at No.1, Ed Sheeran drops back a place to No.2 with “Thinking Out Loud”, the last Male English act to have spent that long at the top of our charts was Passenger throughout all of April 2013 with the track “Let Her Go”.
Released on Monday and recorded last weekend, the Band Aid 30 project is raising money to fight a different issue in Africa, the Ebola outbreak, and the new rendition of “Do They Know it's Christmas?” debuts at No.3 this week, featuring original (1984) members Midge Ure, Bob Geldof and Bono, alongside current acts like One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Emeli Sande, Ellie Goulding, Rita Ora, Sam Smith, Seal, Olly Murs and Chris Martin from Coldplay amongst the many vocal contributors.
The original version of “Do they Know it’s Christmas” charted the last chart week of 1984 (24-Dec), debuting at No.2 (and held there for three weeks due to chart-holidays {yes they used to halt the chart during the Xmas/NY period}) before going to No.1 in the second weekend of January 1985 for four weeks. The song has charted again under two more versions, with the 1989 rendition reaching No.30 in January 1990 and for the twentieth anniversary version in 2004 the song debuted and peaked at No.9 in mid-December.
The second Top 10 debut at No.4 is from local DJ and musician Will Sparks featuring Wiley and singer Elen Levon with “Ah Yeah So What”, which becomes Will and Elen’s first Top 10 entry, and Will’s fifth Top 100 (third Top 50) entry, same for Elen too (but second Top 50). Will’s previous best effort was the No.22 song “Catch” back in February of this year.
The Hilltop Hoods hold their peak of No.5 with “Cosby Sweater” for a second week and dropping three places each are “Shake it Off” for Taylor Swift to No.6 and “Lips are Movin’” for Meghan Trainor at No.7. Climbing to new peaks are Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding with “Outside” to No.8 and it is now Gold (●) in sales, whilst climbing two places to No.9 are One Direction with “Steal My Girl”, becoming the bands eighth Top 10 single in Australia and their first song to climb into the Top 10 (as opposed to debuting within the ten) since their first two singles “What Makes You Beautiful” (HP-7) and “One Thing” (HP-3), both of which took four weeks to climb into the ten, “Steal My Girl” has taken eight weeks to do so, and is helped by their fourth album “Four” debuting at No.1 on the ARIA Albums chart this week. Sliding down three places to No.10 are David Guetta and Sam Martin with “Dangerous”, spending its fifth weeks within the top ten.
NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: Parra for Cuva and Anna Naklab’s version of “Wicked Games” is up twelve places to a new peak of No.14, charting higher than the original by Chris Isaak which climbed to No.15 in its ninth week on the charts back in late April 1991. Peking Duk and Safia are back up five places to No.17 with “Take Me Over” (HP-15), and holding at No.21 for a second week (third week at this peak overall) are Nico & Vinz with “In Your Arms”, which claims Gold (●) in sales this week. Ariana Grande (with Jessie J & Nicki Minaj) on “Bang Bang” is back up four to No.31, whilst Ariana and The Weeknd jump up thirteen places to a new peak of No.33 with “Love Me Harder”. 5 Seconds of Summer leap back up forty-seven places to No.34 with “Good Girls” (HP-19), thanks to the EP/CD Single of the song out this week. After leaping back into the Top 50 at No.40 last week, Jeremih and YG climb higher this week to No.36 with “Don’t Tell ‘em” and now that the ‘Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1’ film has opened around the country (and planet), the theme by Lorde “Yellow Flicker Beat” (HP-33) is back up fourteen places to No.38, whilst Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me” is back up nine to No.39 and Katy Perry’s current national tour is pulling her recent Top 20 single “This is How We Do” (HP-18) to climb back up seven this week to No.40.
DOWN DOWN: After sixteen weeks within the Top 10, the current New Zealand No.1 single “Freaks” (HP-3) by Timmy Trumpet & Savage is down four places to No.12, X-Factor winner Marlisa drops seven places to No.13 with “Stand by You” (HP-2) after four weeks within the Top 10, and it also achieves ▲Platinum this week, whilst the final Top 10 dropouts are Echosmith with “Cool Kids” (HP-6), which is down five to No.15 after seven weeks in ten. Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass” drops six to No.18 and the new Top 10 UK debut this week (#8) for The Veronicas and “You Ruin Me” is down five to No.19 here. Alesso and Tove Lo dive thirteen places to No.26 with “Heroes (We Could Be)” and Avicii is down nine to No.27 with “The Days”. After leaping into the Top 30 last week, Iggy Azalea with “Beg for it” drops thirteen places to No.42 and Redfoo sees his recent Top 5 single “New Thang” drop fifteen places to No.43, whilst Nathaniel drops thirteen spots to No.44 with “Live Louder”, with further locals Justice Crew and “Rise & Fall” (37 to 45) and Guy Sebastian’s “Mama Ain’t Proud” (32 to 47) both dropping down too. James Blunt with “When I Find Love Again” drops twenty-one places to No.48 and Olly Murs’ “Wrapped Up” is down sixteen chart-places to No.50. Leaving from last weeks Top 50 include AJR (45 to 58), Nicki Minaj (49 to 59), Paloma Faith (41 to 61), Timmy Trumpet (43 to 62), and last weeks highest new entry “The Heart Wants What it Wants” for Selena Gomez (33 to 69), whilst Dean Ray also drops out with “Coming Back” (42 to 74).
Mark Ronson is set to release his fourth album in early 2015 entitled “Uptown Special”, and the first single from the album debuts at No.11 this week entitled “Uptown Funk” and features the vocals of Bruno Mars on the track. This becomes Mark’s sixth Top 100 (and second Top 50) entry, and by debuting at No.11 it becomes his highest charting single in Australia, as his previous best was “Bang Bang Bang” which climbed to No.16 in late July of 2010. As for Bruno this becomes his 17th Top 100 (and 16th Top 50) entry and his first new entry since “Gorilla” went to No.41 in September 2013.
Sam Smith sees the fourth single from his debut album “In the Lonely Hour” (TW-15) enter at No.28 this entitled “Like I Can”, which becomes his sixth Top 100 (and fifth Top 50) entry, whilst the final Top 50 entry this week is new at No.49, One Direction with the next single from their new album “Four” (#1 this week) entitled “Night Changes” which becomes their eighteenth Top 100 (and 13th Top 50) chart entry.
Lower 50: Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” is on hold at No.51 this week, but it also picks up a new certification of 9x▲Platinum, whilst “Chandelier” for Sia jumps back up fifteen places to No.52 and is newly certified 4x▲Platinum, possibly helped by her Graham Norton appearance last weekend and her many ARIA Award Nominations. Milky Chance are back up fourteen places to No.64 with “Stolen Dance” and after sneaking into the Top 100 last week at No.96 Hozier is up thirty places to a new peak of No.66 with “Take Me to Church”. Returning tracks this week include “Rather Be” for Clean Bandit and Jess Glynne (its now being used in a TV commercial here) at No.73, “Smile” for Sheppard (#87), “Animals” by Maroon 5 (#90) and Calvin Harris with “Summer” (#96).
The new EP/CD Single of “Good Girls” for 5SOS also helps a bonus track from the EP entitled “Just Saying” to debut at No.54 this week, whilst new at No.60 is the first entry for brothers Juan and Oscar Salins, who are better known as producers and hip-hop act Play-N-Skillz, who have enlisted the artists Redfoo, Lil’ Jon and Enertia McFly to be on their single “Literally I Can't”, with the brothers having previously produced music for David Guetta, Pitbull, Nelly, Ludacris and Lil’ Wayne amongst their works.
Nicki Minaj with Skylar Grey debut at No.71 with “Bed of Lies”, which is the fourth Top 100 entry for Nicki this week, as her “Bang Bang” appearance is at No.31, her former Top 10 single “Anaconda” is at No.59 and her recent entry, the ballad “Only” drops thirty-eight places to No.100 this week. The final entry at No.86 is another track from the forthcoming best of for Shady Records entitled ‘Shady XV’, this new track with Eminem, Royce Da 5’9, Big Sean, Danny Brown and Def Loaf entitled “Detroit vs. Everybody”. The two disc set will feature the biggest hits from the record label from the past fifteen years, plus the second CD will contain all new material from label acts. The first song from this compilation was the Eminem and Sia single “Guts Over Fear” (HP-22) back in early September.
One Direction debut at No.1 with their fourth album entitled “Four”, which also enters on Gold (●) sales, plus its becomes their fourth consecutive No.1 album in Australia, a first for an overseas act.
“Four” becomes the 721st No.1 album in Australia (1965 to 2014) and the 572nd for ARIA (1983 to 2014), plus the 370th to debut at No.1 on the ARIA Albums chart. It’s the eighth No.1 for the record label Syco, with il Divo and Leona Lewis both having scored one apiece, Susan Boyle with two and now One Direction with four. This is also only the second No.1 album to feature ‘four’ in its title, the other being “Catch Bull at Four” for Cat Stevens for seven weeks from late October 1972 (pre-ARIA). “Four” also becomes the 138th No.1 for an English act, plus the 337th by a Group.
One Direction have released four albums, and all four have gone to No.1, making them third on a very exclusive list ‘Consecutive No.1 Albums’, as leading that list is Jimmy Barnes whose first six studio albums all went to No.1 (and his next three went to No.2), the first being ‘Bodyswerve’ in 1984 which took two weeks to climb to No.1, the next five all debuted at the top. Next up are Silverchair, who only released five studio albums, all of which debuted at No.1, so that’s put them in a unique position, as no one else has done that yet. Now One Direction climb into third place, as their previous three chart-topping albums were “Up All Night” (five weeks from 6-April-2012), which climbed to the top in its eighteenth week within the charts (it debuted the first week of December 2011), then in November 2012 they spent two weeks at the top with “Take Me Home”, followed fifty-four weeks later by their third set “Midnight Memories” which only lasted a single week (2-Dec-2013). The only other act within this feat is Delta Goodrem, who has released four albums, her first three all debuted at No.1, whilst her 2012 set “Child of the Universe” debuted and peaked at No.2.
Taylor Swift holds at No.2 with her former No.1 “1989”, with the albums new single “Blank Space” climbing to the top of the ARIA Singles chart this week. Nickelback debut at No.3 with their eighth studio album (and first on new label Universal/Republic) entitled “No Fixed Address”, which becomes their seventh entry here (six studio and one best of) and also their seventh Top 10 album and Top 10 debut, as all of their previous entries (bar one) have debuted and peaked in their first week of charting, the only exception is their first entry here “Silver Side Up” which came in at No.6 and climbed to No.5 two weeks later. Another unique fact about Nickelback album peaks is that they have peaked at No.1 (Here and Now 2011), No.2 (All the Right Reasons 2005), No.3 (Dark Horse 2008), No.4 (The Long Road 2003), No.5 (Silver Side Up 2001) and No.6 (The Best of Volume 1 2013), now they have a second No.3 to add to that list.
Foo Fighters debuted on Gold sales last week with “Sonic Highways” at No.1, which drops three places to No.4 this week and is newly certified ▲Platinum too, whilst Ed Sheeran is back down a place to No.5 with his “x” album. Pink Floyd drop three places to No.6 with their new album “The Endless River”, and it picks up Gold (●) in sales this week, whilst Human Nature drop two places to No.7 with their new covers album “Jukebox”.
Katy Perry’s current national tour pushes her album “Prism” back up three places to No.8, notching up its 24th week within the Top 10, a place that the album hasn’t been since late June. The third and final Top 10 entry is new at No.9, the fourth album for local emcee and rapper Kerser entitled “King”, which also becomes his second Top 10 album, as his early November 2013 set “S.C.O.T.” debuted and peaked at No.5, plus this also becomes his fourth chart entry overall. Finally dropping down three places to No.10 is the ‘Frozen’ Soundtrack, which is notching up its 40th week within the Top 10, the nearest amount for a soundtrack to have spent that long in the Top 10 would have to be ‘Grease’ which racked up sixty-six weeks within the Top 10 from three different chart runs (1978, 1991 and 1998).
NEW PEAKS & MOVERS: The annual re-entry for Michael Buble’s “Christmas” album occurs this week at No.14, but can it return to the No.1 spot for a fourth time/consecutive year, and if it does so it will create new chart history, as this album and the ‘Grease’ Soundtrack are the only sets to have gone back to the top on three separate occasions. With Jimmy Barnes touring the country at the moment, his former No.1 album “30: 30 Hindsight” is back up twelve places to No.24, and another tourist in the form of Katy Perry sees her previous album “Teenage Dream” back up eleven spots to No.27. Chet Faker’s many ARIA Award nominations and the telecast this coming week help his multi-nominated album “Built on Glass” back up sixteen spots to No.30, whilst the Soundtrack for “Guardians of the Galaxy” is back up eighteen places to No.33 (the DVD is out next week 1-Dec), and also returning to the Top 50 are Vance Joy with “Dream Your Life Away”, up twenty places to No.39.
DOWN DOWN: The Hilltop Hoods fall four places to No.12 with “Walking Under Stars” (HP-1, WI10-10) and it’s newly certified ▲Platinum in sales, plus by staying within the Top 10 for ten weeks, it’s now their longest run within the ten, beating the nine weeks that their previous set “Drinking from the Sun” achieved back in 2012. The other three Top 10 dropouts all debuted within the ten last week, so they all notched up a single week within the ten, with the self-titled album for X-Factor 2014 winner Marlisa (HP-6) down seven to No.13 (the same place her single fell to too), “Great Women of Country” for Melinda Schneider and Beccy Cole (9 to 21) and “Bloodstones & Diamonds” for Machine Head (10 to 43). Calvin Harris is down five to No.20 with “Motion”, whilst Neil Diamond drops eight to No.25 with “Melody Road”. Flight Facilities drop twelve to No.28 with “Down to Earth”, Slipknot tumble thirteen to No.31 with “5: The Gray Chapter”, The Foo Fighters “Greatest Hits” are down eleven to No.32, and after leaping to No.22 last week, “The Story: The Best of” for Spandau Ballet is back down eighteen places to No.40. George Ezra’s “Wanted on Voyage” drops eleven to No.41, Paloma Faith and “A Perfect Contradiction” is down twenty spots to No.47, the No.20 debut last week of “Abandon Ship” for Knife Party drops twenty-eight spots to No.48 and The Script with “No Sound without Silence” is down eighteen to No.50 this week.
The ninth studio and first new album in thirteen years from US Country artist Garth Brooks enters at No.11 this week entitled “Man Against Machine”, with his last entry here being the November 2007 collection “The Ultimate Hits” climbing to No.11 too, plus this becomes Garth’s eleventh chart entry in Australia (eight studios, two best of, one live album).
The fourth studio album and second entry here for The Ghost Inside debuts at No.16 entitled “Dear Youth”, which far surpasses their previous entry “Get What You Give”, which debuted and peaked at No.63 in July 2012. And coming in at No.19 are Cold Chisel with “The Live Tapes Vol.2: Live at Bombay Rock, April 27, 1979”, whilst their first “Live Tapes” album from 2-Dec-2013 debuted and peaked at No.27.
A new tribute compilation of Paul McCartney’s songs (solo and Beatles material) entitled “The Art of McCartney” debuts at No.22 this week, containing covers by Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Heart, Steve Miller, Cat Stevens, Brian Wilson, Willie Nelson, Barry Gibb, Kiss, Roger Daltry and many more on the 42 tracks. Another compilation album of covers debuts at No.26 entitled “Punk Goes Pop Volume 6”, with songs by Paramore, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell, Lorde, Beyonce and Taylor Swift covered by such acts as We Came as Romans, August Burns Red, Youth in Revolt and many more on the thirteen track set, and this is the first in the series to chart here.
New Zealand singer/songwriter Brooke Fraser debuted in her home countries Top 10 this week with her fourth album “Brutal Romantic”, entering here at No.23, which is her fourth entry here also, her last album “Flags” (Oct 2013) being her best chart entry so far, debut and peaking at No.3. Coming in at No.35 is the Queen compilation album “Queen Forever”, which has two discs of remastered classic Queen tracks, plus a new CD of previously unreleased and newly remixed material with Freddie Mercury, including a duet with Michael Jackson.
The latest installment of the film and soundtrack for “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1” debuts at No.36 this week, featuring tracks from Lorde, Ellie Goulding, Chvrches, Charli XCX, Grace Jones, The Chemical Brothers and Ariana Grande amongst its fourteen tracks, with the previous two soundtracks being “Songs from District 12” (HP-14, March 2012) and “Catching Fire” (HP-37, Nov 2013).
The sixth studio album for the group TV on the Radio is called “Seeds” and it debuts at No.42 to become the bands fourth Top 50 entry (from four entries here). They last charted back in April 2011 with their highest charting set so far “Nine Types of Light” (HP-25). The final Top 50 entry this week is in at No.44, U2 with a re-packaged edition of their recent Top 10 album, now entitled “Songs of Innocence +” with a bonus disc of material.
Lower 50: The self-titled album for Angus & Julia Stone is back up eleven places to No.52, Neil Finn & Paul Kelly are back up nine spots to No.64 with “Goin’ Your Way”, “18 Hits” for ABBA is back up fourteen spots to No.79 and returning albums this week are from Eminem with “Curtain Calls: The Hits” (#81), “Moon Landing” for James Blunt (#88), the ‘Jersey Boys’ Soundtrack (#91), “Burnt Letters” for Taylor Henderson (#94), Sia with “1000 Forms of Fear” (#98) and sneaking back in at No.100 are Nirvana with “Nevermind”.
Another compilation to chart this week is in at No.69, “We Love Disney” which has local artists performing current and classic Disney songs, with acts such as Dannii Minogue, Kimbra, Harrison Craig, David Campbell, Anja Nissen, The McClymonts and Kate Miller-Heidke amongst its twelve tracks. The soundtrack for the new Christopher Nolan film “Interstellar” as performed by Hans Zimmer debuts at No.82 this week, and the final new entry is at No.89, the fifth studio album and first entry here for California metal act In This Moment, their new set entitled “Black Widow”.

Not happy that streaming has benefited This Is How We Do, or Stay With Me for that matter but streaming is awesome for benefiting Yellow Flicker Beat Hopefully a new peak for it next week
Ugly Heart benefited more from streaming than expected Hate having Good Girls back in the top 50 but at least it isn't too grossly high like the other three got
I like that this still had a healthy drop even with this week's change. Hopefully streaming doesn't keep it in too long so I don't get really sick of it
Wonder Like I Can will do as well as Stay With Me on streaming, sounds reasonably good on first listen
I hope streaming can keep The Days from plummeting
♪♫ These are the charts we've been waiting for, with charts like these who could ask for more. Keep 'em coming, 'cause we're not done yet. These are the charts we won't regret. These are the charts we won't forget ♪♫ Last edited:
Well not totally a surprise, maybe if it were doing better on the stayingtrendyandinnovativeandnotwateringdownyoursoundforpopradio chart then it wouldn't have this problem
#184 on yesterday's Spotify but won't let that stop her, so inspiring But yay at streaming not hurting this much, am curious if it will outsell (with or without streaming) NBTS in the long run.
it's a triple platinum hit with over 8 months in the top 50, and its rebound came with the ARIA Awards which meant that its rebound didn't line up fully with the whole week, and if the awards themselves weren't such a trainwreck, more people probz would have bought it. Otherwise, it hit the iTunes top 10 in 3 separate years for bonus
Not to mention the stoning chart hadn't been added then
This is much higher than expected, but it was dropping a bit too quickly for my liking so yay. At least it shouldn't have too silly a rebound next week due to the album's release
You know guys there is such a think as pushing a joke so far that it becomes rather tiresome. Pretty sure I got it in the first two comments that streaming was in this chart and that it doesn't look like it has dramatically altered the chart landscape. And the world hasn't ended. As a Disney Queen once said Let it go.
We've heard countless amount of times people bitching about the inclusion of streaming being a bad thing too. At least I never told anyone to shut the f**k up
i has a good rebound on the way next week I feel *.* Sort of surprised Hunger Games isn't selling better considering the attention it's getting, and how good it seems to be.
I'm curious where Riptide would have been on just sales. It spent most of the week out of the iTunes top 100 I think, so I could see it having been around #95, so quite a boost this week considering.
Would somebody be kind enough to summarise how *cough*streaming*cough* has affected this week's Top 100 (and/or how it will affect the Top 100 in general) pretty please? To my untrained eyes, it seems to have not been very disruptive, which is good. A full report with facts, figures and tables would not be discouraged, however. lol
Top 10 - not much noticable change except perhaps #2 & #3 were swapped
Top 20 - again not much, Steal My Girl got in the top 10 at the expense of Uptown Funk
Top 40 - a bit more, 5SOS were probably punished but it's hard to tell where they would have otherwise landed anyway. Some songs have shifted a few placed, Stay With Me more than a few
Top 50 - some things like Rise & Fall, Live Louder, New Thang, Mama Ain't Proud, Beg For It are all down about 5 places otherwise
Top 100 - kind of hard to tell with limited data, and the fact that we were looking at busy times anyway, but plenty of big hits have recovered varying amounts (All Of Me, Stolen Dance, Waves). Hozier has jumped a lot considering that he'd probably be only around #90 on sales. Riptide only jumped 9 places, but streaming probably put it about 25 places higher than it may otherwise have been. Summer & Animals re-entered because of it. Rather Be re-entered from a car ad but was probably helped a little by it too. Poor showers on streaming like What Are You Waiting For, We Are Done, Fireball, Another Man & Coming Back have suffered heavily.
The effect is probably small because we're in Q4, but I expect in January streaming will be far more noticeable. Last edited:

I could be wrong, but perhaps Shake It Off is still on some streaming services?
Looks like the update came just in time since we have top 10 singles going under 10K sales now. I'm curious the numbers aren't higher though, Thinking Out Loud has 300K on Spotify alone, but this figure suggests only 200K, maybe something's amiss.
Either ARIA has mucked up, or the 200K is the 300K without the possible international data? There's bound to be other services to be included for 'streaming' though.
Speaking of which: did Maps or whatever is ridiculously high when it shouldn't be make a big impact here? Last edited:
I think not anton, because by comparison, Cosby Sweater also seems to have about a 33% reduction on the Spotify figure (based on it being #22 on the ARIA Streaming chart), and I doubt that is getting much 'international' streaming?
I was thinking back over what I said before and started to wonder if maybe the reason we're having this 'dodgy' data in the Spotify chart is just a product of the numbers being so small, and people being less prone to just sticking to the big hits than they would on iTunes, so it's easy for these things to climb up, it's only a few thousand plays a day after all.
Did you mean Animals by that? It re-entered at #90, so probably no impact unless it gets a belated push at radio a la Superheroes.
I don't really see the issue. With streaming included, it much more accurately displays popularity.
I went fishing through the Code of Practice again, and found this:
"Streams wil be factored into the chart at a rate periodicaly [sic] determined by ARIA in consultation with the ARIA Finance and Chart & Marketing Commites based on the relative average income of streams to digital track sales"
So it's somewhere in the region of 100-150 I think, but sounds like they might be adjusting it.
Also of note:
"A maximum of ten streams per day per customer wil be counted toward the Streaming Chart. Where provided by the Streaming Service Provider, ARIA wil [sic] count he number of individual streamers listening to any given track"
Shit, you'd think they could at least spell correctly when trying to justify their unnecessarily complicated calculations of what is an arbitrary points system anyway. ARIA, it's never too late to get rid of this streaming component in your next "commite" meeting.
When ARIA say "A maximum of ten streams per day per customer wil be counted toward the Streaming Chart.", they mean a maximum of ten streams for the same song right?
