I'm not sure when that was, but its entry on the streaming chart of 5/7/15 seems to correlate well to its position on that week's top 200 so I'm considering it streaming only from then. - 'All About That Bass' should have charted 1 week earlier (unless there was a genuine reason for ineligibility that I'm unaware of); it was #53 streaming on 31/8/14 while 'Won't Look Back' was #76 and made #169. - 'Nothing Really Matters' (with the Afrojack remix) and 'Five More Hours' (like 'Firestone') earlier on were undoubtably down to Spotify's Today's Top Hits playlist (others would have benefited too but these are the more egregious cases).

The first week streaming counted and we had MKTO & Nico/Vinz charting I thought this would become a regular feature. To think we've only had 4 only instances since then is quite baffling really...
I'm aware the majority of tracks on held-back releases will not allow streaming until their purchasing date but given how successful the likes of Am I Wrong & All About That Bass were you'd think other labels would be doing this more regularly.

Yeah you would've thought it should definitely be a more regular occurrence!
Mind due record companies often hold back streaming availability just as long as the download pre-orders~ |

YAY Meghan smashing it streaming wise. I want this to shoot up to top 10 on Spotify once the XMAS songs have fallen so it can be the 2nd song by the same artist to be top 40 on streams alone *.*
woop for Echosmith & Sheppard as well. The former sadly might be it's peak though

All About That Bass sold 1 copy when at #33 - its highest streaming-only position was #53.
I believe DJ Snake - Turn Down For What had 1 week in the top 75 on streaming-only when the download was briefly unavailable for some reason. |

QUOTE(paulgilb @ Dec 21 2014, 10:12 PM)  All About That Bass sold 1 copy when at #33 - its highest streaming-only position was #53. I believe DJ Snake - Turn Down For What had 1 week in the top 75 on streaming-only when the download was briefly unavailable for some reason. 1 sale of highly dubious origin isn't really sufficient enough to exclude it from this list (much like Band Aid 30's single unexplained 'sale' from streams isn't sufficient enough to call it a non-sales-only track). Also I'm not certain but I think the week 'Turn Down For What' was unavailable to download was the week it dropped out of the top 100 for the first time, before immediately returning at #63 the following week after being made available again. |

Great thread idea. Will be interesting seeing how this list grows in 2015 and see if more record labels start taking this approach of early release on streaming compared to official release date. Certainly hasn't hindered the success of Rude, All About That Bass and Am I Wrong (and I am sure Lips Are Movin will do just fine).

The Nights was one place behind Lips a couple of days ago on Spotify but didn't reach top 100
Waiting for zobbel.de to post this week's 101-200 debuts It's slipping on Spotify now though

Also if a song was 101-200 last week OCC shows it You can get a lot of top 200 artist/album chart runs by artist on the ukmix Chart Histories thread formerly run by request by Hanboo who sadly passed away this summer. You can also view some runs on the UK Charts Archive Wiki in my sig below

Will keep a look out Obviously im more looking to see if my band get into it lol but actually interested in what does or doesnt make the chart these days. Thanks What's your band called? It's not easy to get into the charts ESPECIALLY with streams included to the count. It's even more difficult for new/lesser known artists as most are not available to stream. If you don't know already you can see the top 1500 iTunes chart which only counts sales for your band. Also to make it qualify to chart you need to meet certain criteria or OCC won't include it on the chart. It needs to be a certain price but not free (40p min?) I think but I've seen on some occasions charting tracks sold for free. Tracks also need to be a certain length (max 15 minutes but I think there's a min limit as well). OCC made an article here. I'm not too sure what's happened with the Instant Grats rules as the document is dated 2013 and I believe something changed this year.

Haha thanks much appreciated, my band is my user name 'The Polaris' though we would never enter a chart on sales as we are obviusly small and local :-(
But have a few hundred who listen to us a lot through streaming adn like to 'put work in' etc adn was kiinda talking with them about how it would affect any chatr position etc. We fully comply with the rules. Thanks though |

Thanks though As a matter of fact I did google your username but I kept getting this prize thing as the results  You could try to promote your band by making Facebook profiles, Wiki pages etc. and perhaps a bit of googling on how to be the next Maroon 5  Also you could set up a Soundcloud and YouTube account to post on. I'd also recommend sharing your band on YouTube comments etc. but I'm not sure too many people actually read them  but worth a go nonetheless (Sorry mods for going off topic )

I'd be interested to see how well these streaming hits do in actual download sales in the year-end charts. My suspicion is less-well than you might think from all the hype. Taylor Swift's removal of her streaming tracks has resulted in big download sales over a sustained period - either she's wrong and would have sold just as well anyway, or she's switched-on and made bags more money from extra download sales compared to cash from streaming. Her management think that to be the case, and errr, well it's not actually a very long list at all so far, even way low-down the combined chart, for 12 months...
So far, of course.

Well the reason it's not that big a list would be because not everyone releases their songs to Spotify in advance
I think it's the kinda thing that will become more common in the future (I hope so) but as of right now, it pretty much shows all the big releases that were on Spotify in advance.

Agreed
It could be a good tactic for new artists or flop-likely artists  Union *cough* J *cough*  That way they would boost their stream reputation and preorders before its release, and hopefully not fall quickly if its mostly based on pre's  By the way Merry Xmas everyone!
