Ok, so now the UK albums chart will include streaming as well. Watch RocNation/Rih's label not upload R8 onto Spotify for several months

The Official Albums Chart will include audio streams for the first time from next month (March, 2015), the Official Charts Company can confirm today.
The change will come into effect from the week of the BRIT Awards (wb February 23), with the first Official Albums Chart Top 100 incorporating audio streams being published on Sunday, March 1 2015 on OfficialCharts.com.
The streaming data which will count towards the Official Albums Chart will be collected from plays via Spotify, Deezer, Napster, Google Play, O2 Tracks, Rara, Rdio and XBox Music, all members of the Entertainment Retailers Association, co-owner of the Official Charts Company – along with record labels association the BPI.
While the UK will not be the first market to introduce streams to their Official Albums Chart, it will be the first to do so using a new methodology designed to ensure that the rundown continues to reflect the popularity of the albums themselves, rather than just the performance of one or two smash hit singles.
Official Charts will take the 12 most streamed tracks from the standard version of the album, the top two songs will be down-weighted in line with the average of the rest. The total of these streams will be divided by 1000 and added to the physical and digital sales of the album (the 1,000 ratio is used to reflect the broad difference in value between a track stream and the price paid for an album).

Its like they all got recruited to the label just to work for Rihanna. 
Praying that Rihanna is smart enough to use them and promote her music but... she ain't.
