Ariana Grande leading first UK singles chart to include streaming

Ariana Grande's 'Problem' is on course to make UK chart history.

The Official Charts Company are this week including streams in their sales counts for the first time ever.

They have confirmed today (July 1) that Grande's 'Problem' is leading the way with 55,000 sales so far this week.

One hundred streams on applications like Spotify is equal to one sale.

However, only 1% of Grande's tally is the result of streams, with downloads helping the singer's cause.

At No.2 today is Ella Henderson's 'Ghost' with 21,000 sales (8% streams) whilst Sia's 'Chandelier' is No.3.

Ed Sheeran's 'Sing' meanwhile, which is No.4, looks set to the most streamed track of the week, with 13% of its sales coming from that source.
