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.^[6] 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.
