The "official" charts never were reliable...
The difference with streaming is that the labels and other interested parties haven't figured out yet how to "buy" listeners so the song is propelled into the charts. The music industry is slow as melasse.

The music industry is slow as melasse. Believe me, the ways to "buy" streaming listens are well known and utilized, and the streamers like Spotify are hip to it. They have ways to track things. The "listening bots" get singled out pretty quickly. |

Sure, there are vending machines in Moscow's metro that can sell you a thousand FB friends for a dime. Have been around for years now.
But these services are not very efficient or reliable as FB and others detect that kind of fraud. And some of these agencies are just running a scam.
As music is no longer a tangible item when streaming, it's hard to justify and control spending on promotion. Before, you just sent out an order for 10.000 records and it automatically sent that record up in the charts in a predictable manner. Now, there's no real way to tell how and why some streams become popular.
