• Ed Sheeran's dominance of the Top 20 is a only a symptom of how sick the charts are

  10-03-2017 19:00
  
  With endless streaming on services such as Spotify, one artist was bound to dominate the Top 40 at some point. Can the charts be fixed?

What was she doing in my charts? Wasn’t hogging the top spot against the rules? (Rules I had made up – like thinking an album had to contain 10 songs.) I
