Why YouTube Streams Don't Count For Christmas № 1

The Christmas Number One is a British tradition: but it's one that's having to go through some changes -- because not many people buy music any more. Here's how the charts are calculated these days, and why listening to "All I Want For Christmas" on repeat isn't going to change who wins. Thanks to Martin Talbot and all the team from the Official Charts Company, who agreed to an interview on less than two hours' notice for this video! You can visit them here: http://www.officialcharts.com/ or on Twitter at @officialcharts Apologies to anyone who's scared of Mr Blobby.

I have NEVER heard of "Christmas Number One" until now.
-
Youtube should count VEVO videos.
-
Honestly surprised how many people care about this Christmas n1 thing.. really did not think it was a big deal...
-
Mr. Blobby? What the hell? That thing is horrifying!
-
Media in transition, people trying to cope with change, lots of waffling in the meantime...
-
I love how the Christmas that The Wrong Trousers premiered was the year everyone was listening to Mr Blobby
-
Why not count video's that are only music and only that? Like any video from Monstercat, Vexento, etc.?
-
Nice typography, using the "№" :)
-
If you want an interesting video, find out something about "Jára Cimrman" He is a made up celebrity - he never lived and only served a comedic purpose but has a grave amongst other famous Czech people, and was voted to be the best czech to ever live.

it was rockabye!!!!

It's quite funny to think of all of those people "raging against the machine" trying to get that single to number one, not realising that Rage Against the Machine is signed to Sony's record label, and Simon Cowell's Syco record label is... owned by Sony.
So while the nation was raging against the corporate machine, Sony were laughing all the way to the bank. -
They could count YouTube views if they are able to only count views of "official" videos on the artist and/or record company's feed.
-
It's OK as long as you don't cross the streams.
-
Robbie Rotten is the only number one
-
Not sure I took away an answer from this video but it's interesting that video isn't included. I still find it hard to grasp that streams can be counted. Obviously they have to be but getting the right method is impossible. It's how music is delivered now but without a direct exchange of money, there's no passion, commitment or true dedication to an artist or song. It's just another click on play on a phone while sat on a bus going to school....that guy has a tough job :-)

I remember around 2003-04 discovering I could listen to UK radio stations online (I'm American), and I couldn't help but wonder why Christmas No. 1 is such a big deal over there. I mean, getting a number one single is a big deal to the people involved, but why do people outside the music industry care, and what makes the Number One on Christmas Day better than on the other 364.25 days of the year? (Not a rhetorical question. I'm actually wondering.)

Clean Bandit's Rockabye got the 2016 Christmas Number 1? Had not heard of them before?
