FAQs

What is streaming?

For streaming related FAQs read http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=195261.

How do I see today's Spotify chart?

To see the daily top 50 update on desktop, log in to Spotify, click 'Browse', then click 'Charts', then click 'United Kingdom Top 50', or click the link below. The desktop top 50 may update before anything else so is always worth checking if the website is not up to date. However recently it has been known to not to do (even when the website has), so do check all sources. Also note that the Spotify Website will update before external websites (Kworb, LivePopBars). Occasionally there will be a delay in the Spotify chart updating which could even take days.

Useful links:

https://spotifycharts.com/regional/gb/daily/latest [top 200]
http://kworb.net/spotify/country/gb_daily.html [top 200 and extra data]
http://www.livepopbars.com/spotibars.php?Region=GB&numbers=Get+Chart+%28Numbers%29 [top 200]
https://www.spotontrack.com/charts/daily/streams/gb/2018-04-30 [top 200]

How often does the chart update?

It should update once every day, usually in the morning - although this is not 100% guaranteed. Sometimes the top 200 on the website will update but without the top 50 on the app updating, and sometimes there will be no update at all.

How many plays on Spotify equals one download sale?

150 plays. However you cannot simply play a song 150 times in one day to give it one sale, you are limited to 10 plays per day in terms of what counts to the chart. (Spotify will let you play a song on repeat 150 times if you really want to). This used to be 100 plays but the ratio was revised by the OCC at the start of 2017.

The number changes to 300 plays when a song moves to ACR. For more information on the rules of ACR see http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=202072. For information on what songs are currently on ACR and what songs will be moving to ACR, refer to http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=208671.

How much does Spotify contribute to the chart?

Streaming contributes over 90% to the singles chart as a whole, although good paid-for sales are still essential for making the very top of the chart in most cases. Spotify counts for at least 70% of all streaming sales, so doing well on Spotify is essential for doing well in the chart.

Why is my fave not doing well on Spotify?

Is it being promoted on one of Spotify's major curated playlists? If it isn't, it's unlikely to really take off! Hot Hits UK is the biggest of these playlists, with over a million followers. The playlist usually updates itself to include breaking hits once or twice a week, though there is no guarantee that your fave will get a place on the playlist. Also, the UK Top 50 is a largely followed playlist and that songs often experience a 'top 50 effect', when they enter the top 50 and get the additional exposure of being on the playlist.

Often sales hits don't cross over to being streaming hits, this is usually the case for songs with an older target audience, reality or campaign songs. Also keep in mind that it takes longer for a song to take off on Spotify than it would on iTunes.

My fave didn't debut high and is falling already, does this mean they're flopping?

Not necessarily. Most songs debut relatively low as they aren't instantly well-known, and experience a sharp decline on Day 2 as they no longer have the promoted 'New Music Friday' effect. A lot of songs manage to recover through gaining popularity and additions to playlists. Exceptions to the rule of course come from massively hyped artists/releases such as Justin Bieber/Ed Sheeran/Drake who will of course enter straight at the top.

What do the numbers mean?

The streaming figures cited in the daily chart are the number of streams each song received the previous day. Unlike the iTunes chart, Spotify is not a rolling chart so the numbers will only change once per day.

Have none of the main playlists added Alice Merton yet? That's really puzzling.

Posted by: danG May 2 2018, 10:14 AM

She's on Hot Hits... Italy. Not sure why they haven't pushed her onto Hot Hits UK yet when it's getting an airplay push, the song could really be a hit if they did.

Not on Today's Top Hits or anything else either.

The fact it's doing so well on sales and not top 200 on Spotify without a playlist is further proof of how the general userbase of Spotify don't even have the ability to use their own mind.

I'm just stating a fact, because it's bloody annoying.

Posted by: Bjork May 2 2018, 10:48 AM

I'm sure people do actively search for it, the problem is that in order to be top 200 you need like 50,000 streams for instance today and that cannot be achieved with searches alone, sure the song has searches but not 50,000, that kind of figures can only be achieved if you're on a playlist (sadly)

Posted by: lewistgreen May 2 2018, 10:49 AM

We're just a nation of passive listening, Urban loving f***wits really laugh.gif

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn May 2 2018, 10:55 AM

I do really find it mind boggling that enough people hear a song around (and sometimes enough to really smash it on sales, moreso than this) but don't choose to actively seek it out of their own accord on here enough to even make the smallest dent.

I seriously hate the monopolisation these engineered playlists have.

Posted by: ubɹǝɯbƆ May 2 2018, 11:05 AM

Ariana up to 3

Anne-Marie 8!!!!!!


Posted by: Bré May 2 2018, 11:36 AM

Tbh I'm pretty happy about not having a mind of my own if it means I don't have to hear that Alice Merton song.

Understood, but to be fair it's not even really about that. Alice Merton is just an example at this point.

Posted by: danG May 2 2018, 12:33 PM

Virtual Self too though I expect even if he was added to HHUK he'd only barely make the top 200.

Posted by: gooddelta May 2 2018, 12:49 PM

It's annoying but even if Spotify removed their own curated playlists (which they wouldn't, as they'd lose a lot of users who just listen through playlists, and would therefore lose advertising revenue from free users), some user-generated playlists would just take their place as the most popular and it would just be the same situation. We'd just have a random few users getting flukily popular deciding the agenda rather than Spotify.

Curated playlists are obviously here to stay and I don't have an issue with that, but what would be nice is if there was more transparency over the compilation of playlists like Hot Hits UK, or if they were decided via some sort of representative method, rather than just because one overly influential Spotify bigwig personally likes it or has been paid to include it.

For example, maybe the top 10 most popular 'new' songs each week based solely on active user searches could instantly go on Hot Hits (limiting this to one song per artist so a whole new Drake album or whatever doesn't just go on there). Or even a couple of the most popular searched for new songs from each of the main genres, to make it a bit more diverse.

Posted by: danG May 2 2018, 01:49 PM

Indeed, without Hot Hits UK the chart would be even slower because people would just resort to shuffling the current top 50. Aside, I also wish Spotify would display the entire top 200s on their app, or even top 100s, instead of just 50 songs.

Anyway, on Desktop now there's a banner for Filtr playlists and on their 'Hot 50 UK' playlist 'No Roots' is on there as song #18 so perhaps Hot Hits UK will be coming next, I think it's likely.

Posted by: The Snake 🐍 May 2 2018, 03:13 PM

'First Time' is unfortunately flopping too compared to how well it is doing on the itunes chart. Was hoping it was going to go low top 40 officially eventually but its very unlikely now.

Sad to see M-22/Medina so low considering it's doing decent enough on iTunes. Really willing for it to be a hit.

Zayn's doing pretty appallingly with 'Let Me' isn't he?

Posted by: danG May 4 2018, 12:42 PM

I'm baffled that 'Let Me' managed to become a top 20 hit, it seems to be flopping horrendously past that first week and quite rightly so. Meanwhile 'Familiar' debuted only at #34 but looks like its having legs.

even more extreme for Paloma, who's been #4 on itunes all week

Posted by: danG May 4 2018, 01:19 PM

It's probably for the best if I drag this FAQ back up. In short, iTunes positions are irrelevant to the Spotify chart, your faves aren't going to do anything without any playlist support.

QUOTE(danG @ May 2 2018, 10:55 AM) *
Why is my fave not doing well on Spotify?

Is it being promoted on one of Spotify's major curated playlists? If it isn't, it's unlikely to really take off! Hot Hits UK is the biggest of these playlists, with over a million followers. The playlist usually updates itself to include breaking hits once or twice a week, though there is no guarantee that your fave will get a place on the playlist. Also, the UK Top 50 is a largely followed playlist and that songs often experience a 'top 50 effect', when they enter the top 50 and get the additional exposure of being on the playlist.

Often sales hits don't cross over to being streaming hits, this is usually the case for songs with an older target audience, reality or campaign songs. Also keep in mind that it takes longer for a song to take off on Spotify than it would on iTunes.



Posted by: zenon May 4 2018, 01:30 PM

So are they not putting Alice Merton in a curated playlist just because it's an alternative track?

No, if that was the case then Moon Taxi, Blossoms and The Wombats wouldn't have got Hot Hits support with their recent eras.

'No Roots' isn't on the playlist because the label haven't paid for a place - that's all there is to it.

I wonder how much it actually costs to get playlist support on Spotify. I know you don’t have to pay to be added to most playlists but it sure helps. Do independent releases ever get added to playlists like Hot Hits?

good to see instant support for Jess Glynne too.

Posted by: ubɹǝɯbƆ May 4 2018, 09:11 PM

Any clarification yet on whether or not vertical videos count towards the chart?

Posted by: Bjork May 5 2018, 07:42 AM

well it didn't count for taylor'delicate but that was the official video
I also think it didn't count for Liam, but not sure what kind of video it was, never clicked

still don't see the advantage if the video doesn't count, sure it would better for Ari's audio to be song #1 than song #11 as it is now, but maybe vertical videos count as they're not the official video

You'll be surprised to hear it's not actually about that.

I'm just expressing sadness that this restrictive, engineered playlist holds so much weight and influence over the whole chart. It could be such a good opportunity regularly add loads of different stuff and help more songs break through, and show the world that there is a more diverse music scene than this list suggests. But they just don't, they control and manipulate it.

Grumble grumble, I know there's nothing I can do about it but I just find the way it all works and the politics involved so awful. I think they're even worse than the Radio 1 playlist compilers.

I'm fairly sure the original aim and vision was to have a fairer chart.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn May 5 2018, 05:40 PM

My outburst was caused by seeing the latest Hot Hits additions. There are a few tracks around at the moment that could really do with that to help them properly break through, but all we get is just FIVE new additions, two of which are complete randoms that have echoes of payola or some other underhand tactic.

Posted by: Jack May 5 2018, 05:45 PM

Yeah I agree sad.gif And it also really annoys me when people are just like 'oh well, it's what it is' - we shouldn't have to just accept such mediocrity.

I'm sure they could find place for songs like 'No Roots' and 'Make Your Own Kind Of Music' which would help elevate them to be a huge hit but they don't. It's lazy, there's songs that have been on there for months that have come and gone.

Has anyone noticed that rap songs always fall on days where the weather is hot? It may just be a coincidence of course.

Is it because it features "Poo Bear"?

Posted by: Lomadz May 10 2018, 04:23 PM

The ‘This is America’ song may have a good message but it really isn’t a good song at all!

Well I guess we've got a window into Spotify's sense of humour now...

Spotify have announced that they will no longer promote R Kelly and XXXTENTACION’s music due to their hateful content.

Bye bye

Posted by: Bré May 10 2018, 10:03 PM

They're going to have to remove a lot more artists if that's the standard they're going by... I won't be crying for them losing promotion but they're really just opening themselves up to (justified) allegations of double standards, as indeed XXXTENTACION has already done. They could have just done this without announcing it.

I don't think XXXTENTACION will be hit that badly if indeed Spotify won't be playlisting him anymore. He clearly has a big fanbase that will stream him anyway despite the things he has (allegedly) done.

As for R. Kelly when was he actually last relevant? Well over ten years ago, the Bump & Grind remix doesn't count.

Posted by: Bré May 11 2018, 10:11 AM

I imagine X will still get high streams when he releases his next album but I doubt he'd be able to get a sustained hit as big as 'SAD!' without being in Spotify's hip-hop playlists. Which would be no great loss unless his music gets significantly better.

Posted by: Dircadirca May 11 2018, 10:49 AM

Ignition (Remix) has been in the Australian top 200 pretty much every day for the last 3 years, I'm curious if this will cause it to drop out forever, though it's still there tonight.

They've also apparently removed Tay-K not that he had anything relevant at the moment. It does look a bit bad though when I can look at RapCaviar and see Famous Dex, NBA Youngboy, and three different Rich The Kid tracks. As I've seen pointed out before, you're more likely to find someone who's had accusations of violence against women, than women. They also announced this not long after Chris Brown got yet another accusation, and shock alert, they updated Today's Top Hits to add Selena's new song but Freaky Friday is still on there.

R. Kelly isn’t relevant anyway but he released some great (popular) songs in his hay day. Ignition is still a party staple and I Believe I Can Fly is as memorable as crap songs come

Posted by: danG May 11 2018, 11:06 AM

I suppose Ignition (Remix) won't be going back in the top 200 so often but I imagine a lot of people have it on their own playlists so it'll still get healthy streams.

As it has been said, there are so many artists with a problematic past so I don't particularly agree with the blacklisting of certain artists yet others are allowed to stay (for now at least, I expect more will be quietly dropped soon too)

It’s great that Spotify is doing this but they can’t be picking and choosing like they are. Tupac was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman and spent time in prison but that doesn’t stop them supporting his “legacy”

Agreed. I don’t think announcing this was necessary or is actually going to do spotify any favours. Just going to bring to attention how many other artists have similar allegations (currently or historically), which still get heavily promoted.

It is good that they are doing this still.

If anything, surely this is the good thing about the 3 track rule, so we don’t get the whole album in the chart.

I don’t know 100% whether they can clearly differentiate between a full album stream and individual track stream, so I guess this is as good a compromise as we will get. In an ideal world they wouldn’t be double counted in both the singles and album chart I agree.

Posted by: danG May 12 2018, 10:26 AM

I think it would be better if the OCC took away the streaming points of the lowest streamed (or 12th most streamed to combat really long rap albums with interludes) track for all the album tracks and then allow any track to chart if it streams that much better than the lowest-streamed.

Because at the moment there is still double-counting and album tracks are charting higher than they really should be, just that there's now less of them (just look at some recent top 40 hits by Post Malone, J. Cole and The Weeknd which fell really fast).

It looks like we'll be getting 3 Arctic Monkeys songs top 40 this week but is that because of the song quality or because people are generally listening to the album as a whole and some tracks happen to be more popular or higher up the tracklist than others. I doubt any of the tracks will become proper long running hits especially as it hasn't had a great critical reception and the hype will quickly fade.

I don't think the artist cap rule counts as a solution at all, it's only created more problems.

Posted by: Dircadirca May 12 2018, 10:40 AM

Honestly I'd rather count track streams from someone who's playing an album front to back than someone who's playing a playlist they didn't make themselves on shuffle to any capacity.

Totally expected in my opinion , five years after AM there was clearly going to be massive demand.
I think it is extremely harsh to describe it as 'so bad', I think four out of five sums it up...they have avoided going for the massive singles this time but that doesn't make it a bad Album.

This way your lest streamed track will get precisely 0 streams, when in fact it will get some individual streams, just not that many. I still stand by my opinion that there should be a system determining whether someone streamed 50% or more tracks from the album in a day. If yes, those streams would count to the albums, if no - then to the singles.

AM less than 200 streams behind One Kiss though ohmy.gif

This way your lest streamed track will get precisely 0 streams, when in fact it will get some individual streams, just not that many. I still stand by my opinion that there should be a system determining whether someone streamed 50% or more tracks from the album in a day. If yes, those streams would count to the albums, if no - then to the singles.
Well I suppose there isn't a 100% accurate way of doing it.

With your method that'll still count all the people who listen to the first 3 or 4 tracks of an album then decide they don't like it enough to bother with the rest of it.

Posted by: Zárate May 12 2018, 11:46 AM

To choose the optimal method OCC should measure the error margin I guess.

Your method is easier to calculate though. With my method to determine where the stream should go the engine should go through through all the day's data and gather info. It will need an enormously bigger processing capacity than the OCC have now.

Not sure how long the Arctic Monkeys will stick around for but two tracks already have over 2 million plays, track number one being one which isn't to surprising but also track 6 Four Out Of Five so that might prove to be the most popular song from the album

Posted by: Bjork May 12 2018, 12:24 PM

for instance, i just streamed the arctics album, to do so first I searched for the album title, then clicked on it, Spotify should be able to tell that apart from someone clicking on a single, and counting it only for the album charts

That Summer hit song that was released back in January as the number 1 song

EDIT - just seen the next few tracks... not exactly summer playlist

Posted by: John-James May 12 2018, 05:00 PM

I think the AM songs will drop a lot tomorrow especially if the reaction I've read online is indicative of a lot of other people. The first day is just people checking them out. You have to actually like them to want to listen a second day running.

46. No Roots – Alice Merton

Considering These Days is the first song on this playlist, I'm not surprised Alice is on here. Both are incredibly dull and MOR songs IMO, perfect for a Spotify summer playlist laugh.gif No Roots will probably reach the Top 10 by June considering it's now being added to playlists (Hot Hits is inevitable now), but I'm not expecting it to be #1 considering Drake is releasing Scorpion that month. Maybe a similar situation to that of These Days and God's Plan will play out!

expected drop x the arctics tracks with the highest being
at #13 (Star treatment) and #15 (Four out of five)

But the way they chart a lot of the time is simply people listening to the album, albeit some develop into hits such as Better Now by Post Malone currently in the top 10 after staying there post release!

Heroes entered at #52 in 2015.
Frans spent some time in the Top 100 even before Eurovision eventually reaching #61
Sunstroke Project, Salvador Sobral and Blanche all entered the Top 200 last year but didn't go Top 100

Posted by: Bré May 14 2018, 03:58 PM

For some reason I thought I remembered Eurovision making a slightly bigger impact on Spotify last year! That is impressive enough for 'Toy' and 'Fuego' considering. 'Fuego' I think could really be an actual hit if it got some kind of push outside of Eurovision but that's clearly never happening in this country with any Eurovision song. Would be nice to see those two at least cracking the top 100 this week anyway.

Posted by: JosephAvery May 14 2018, 04:14 PM

Frans reached #51 the day after Eurovision in 2016 I believe, I remember being very frustrated it wasn't that one place higher for a top 50 boost drama.gif

Eleni would need radio and Hot Hits UK to be a hit, which definitely isn’t happening sad.gif

Posted by: Midge May 15 2018, 04:51 PM

I think the last time a Eurovision song became a hit outside of the Eurovision buzz was XTM & DJ Chucky presents Annia's cover of "Fly On The Wings Of Love" - does anybody know of anything more recent?

"Fuego" I think has huge potential if pushed; I feel that only really "Euphoria" otherwise this decade has had this kind of potential.

'If I Were Sorry' by Frans was a decent enough sized hit.

Posted by: JosephAvery May 15 2018, 06:37 PM

If I Were Sorry had the potential to be huge without the Eurovision tag. It did reasonably well on Spotify, and charted top 200 several weeks before Eurovision!

That peak position was Eurovision week though - I'm talking a proper sized hit after Eurovision.

If that's the closest we've gotten then, well, that's the closet we've gotten! laugh.gif

Posted by: gooddelta May 15 2018, 08:04 PM

I’d say 11 weeks top 75 for Euphoria was impressive seeing as the only buzz it had was its initial performance. I don’t recall it getting much airplay, certainly not from the major stations.

I can’t see that ever happening again unless hell freezes over and Hot Hits UK adds a Eurovision song...

Posted by: danG May 15 2018, 08:34 PM

wasn't Frans on Hot Hits UK or an equivalent though prior to Eurovision, just that his streams weren't big enough to get him top 100 before the performance? odd that they did but I seem to remember it happening.

Spotify likely won't be adding any Eurovision songs from this year to Hot Hits though.

Posted by: JosephAvery May 15 2018, 08:36 PM

I think Frans was lingering in the 70s/80s on the Spotify chart pre-performance, and in the current chart climate and with ACR, he'd likely have actually made the top 100 before Eurovision. I do think it was on some sort of playlist (perhaps Today's Top Hits) which helped it!

Iirc, Capital actually played 'Euphoria', but I don't think it was extensively ofc. It was def just a "this is high on iTunes, we need to play it" sort of aituation haha.

From Music Week.

Apple Music has passed 50 million subscribers this month, CEO Tim Cook has revealed. However, the figure includes 8m users on free trials. Paid subscribers increased by 2m compared to a month earlier, which maintains the steady monthly growth rate in users for Apple’s music streaming service in 2018.

While Apple Music lags behind Spotify, it is increasing its subscriber base at a faster rate. During its recent Q1 results, Spotify revealed it had finished Q1 with 75m premium subscribers – up 4m over three months since the end of 2017. Apple Music has added 2m users a month this year and was reportedly on the verge of overtaking the Swedish rival in the US.

Possibly the most generic song of all time. Awful!

Anyone else surprised that Nicky Jam & J Balvin’s ‘X’ isn’t taking off?

I'm not. Most of these Spanish hits never actually take off here unless they have a popular British/American act on them, Mi Gente was just an exception. Doesn't also help that X has no chorus.

Half expect they will remix it to feature someone popular though.

Post Malone seems to be climbing up a bit again - suprised by how well the album as a whole is holding on

Posted by: dll May 22 2018, 10:17 AM

Post Malone will be unstoppable when ''Better Now'' and ''Stay'' properly explode.

Speaking of...

4. Post Malone - Better Now

And lots more movement/new peaks in the top 50:

10. Khalid & Normani - Love Lies
14. Jess Glynne - I'll Be There
19. Clean Bandit feat. Demi Lovato - Solo
31. Selena Gomez - Back to You
35. Years & Years - If You're Over Me
46. RAYE feat. Mabel & Stefflon Don - Cigarette

Is "Love Lies" likely to make the top 10 officially this week/ever?

Outside top 50:

55. KYLE feat. Kehlani - Playinwitme
57. Lil Baby feat. Drake - Yes Indeed
58. 5 Seconds of Summer - Youngblood
59. Dappy - Oh My
64. Billie Eilish & Khalid - lovely
66. BTS - FAKE LOVE

Posted by: Bjork May 22 2018, 10:29 AM

don't think Love lies can make it this week, has very few itunes sales

Posted by: Bjork May 22 2018, 10:31 AM

grrrr Drake almost #1

1 One Kiss (with Dua Lipa) by Calvin Harris 496,653
2 Nice For What by Drake 496,128

I knew this was gonna happen when I saw it was out of the top 10 on hothits :/

Posted by: danG May 22 2018, 10:35 AM

At least Calvin has a very big advantage on iTunes over Drake so official #1 should be safely his for the time being. I expect 'Nice For What' will eventually re-claim #1 when Drake releases his album though unless he releases a new single beforehand.

Posted by: John-James May 22 2018, 12:31 PM

One Kiss has been moved back up to #2 on HHUK

Posted by: Bjork May 22 2018, 01:25 PM

I see Dappy and Sangria Wine are on hot hits now, don't think they were there earlier
Ariana is now song #1 with Calvin/Dua song #2

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn May 22 2018, 02:51 PM

So they'll add bloody Dappy to Hot Hits, but not the numerous tracks that could actually do with it at the moment?

Seriously, I hate these people so much.

Posted by: Tedward May 22 2018, 02:57 PM

Although I don't like the song, this is more than a bit unfair for No Roots. That's been added to just one Spotify playlist IIRC (Summer Hits), and the fact that Dappy has been added before it is pretty shocking

Posted by: WhoOdyssey May 22 2018, 02:58 PM

Very good for Y&Y, I definitely think If You're Over Me will be bigger than Sanctify.

the difference is the Dappy song is him jumping on the afrowave trend which is proven to get big streaming numbers, I'm pretty sure at this stage Hot Hits will add any old afrowave song that's doing kinda well just cos it's what the kids are listening to.

Posted by: Cqmerqn May 22 2018, 03:19 PM

BTS ‘FAKE LOVE’

Also added to Hot Hits UK

‘Be Careful’ also re-added

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn May 22 2018, 04:10 PM

What's it gonna take for 'No Roots' to be added at this stage?

Posted by: mdh May 22 2018, 09:02 PM

Hot Hits UK adds:

39 Cardi B - Be Careful
44 Big Shaq - Man Don't Dance
47 Pharrell Williams - Sangria Wine
49 Dappy - Oh My
53 Chantel Jeffries - Wait
58 BTS - Fake Love

Really don’t get why this is still being pushed instead of I Like It. Pretty obvious what the public prefer. Better to just focus on making that as big as possible in the UK

Posted by: danG May 22 2018, 10:04 PM

Annoyed that M-22 are still not back on Hot Hits. The only thing stopping it from being a top 20 hit now is its Hot Hits exclusion.

Posted by: Tedward May 22 2018, 11:26 PM

Similar situation to Alice. Just like No Roots, First Time is on Summer Hits UK but not HHUK- though this is even worse as it was on there previously but now isn't

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn May 23 2018, 06:06 AM

Somehow M-22 still seems to be doing fairly alright here without it. ohmy.gif

But yeah, given that imagine the big potential with Hot Hits.

Posted by: Bjork May 23 2018, 07:43 AM

First Time has been a bit unlucky cos all of March and til Mid-April the song was in the 100-200 section moving up and down, during this time it was on Hot hits but pretty low
then at the end of April, it finally cracked the top 100 for a few days but then it was taken off Hot hits and the song dropped and eventually disappeared from the top 200
now it's back, guess thanks to being song #3 on summer hits, and not far from the top 50

but not sure if it will be re-added to hothits, was already there for 2 months

Shotgun at 51 again!

Posted by: mdh May 23 2018, 06:20 PM

Think 'Oh My' will be a top 20 hit at the very least for Dappy.

Also 'Family Tree' being top 50 should help it go top 40 officially.

Posted by: Cqmerqn May 23 2018, 06:22 PM

Hopefully Drake's Spotify advantage can push him ahead of Ariana in tomorrow's official chart.


Does it realistically matter that much, though?

If who is #2 and who is #3 (or the charts at all) matter THAT much then really I think you need to go outside laugh.gif

I know, it just seems like such an inconsequential thing to focus on THAT intently when they're both old songs that aren't gonna be reaching new peaks or anything. laugh.gif

"Bad Vibe" peaking when we're almost in June and it was released in January?! Bloody hell laugh.gif

Posted by: Jonjo May 25 2018, 06:37 PM

That's crazy brilliant for M.O! I love that they're getting a huge hit, but (maybe it's just my social circles) it feels like nobody actually knows it? But then again, that's kind of my problem with this whole streaming era tbh. Huge hits, don't feel like they're as big as their chart runs and success suggest (barring the odd couple here and there ofc)

But so happy to see M.O finally get a hit that they have deserved for a while now.

Is that the secret to some girl group success then? Switch out a member?? laugh.gif

I didn’t even know they switched a member, but then I never payed attention to who was in the original line up. laugh.gif

I am finding the charts don’t correlate with general popularity as much as they used to. Songs that get blitzed on radio/tv don’t always get the same attention on streaming (mostly due to not making playlists) and vice versa.

Posted by: LB1108 May 26 2018, 09:32 PM

Oh it’s definitely true re M.O, never mind their new song, almost everybody I know hasn’t even heard of them!

I think God’s Plan does sound like a super hit just not what we would have thought would have been a super hit say 2 years ago

g'won Sir Drake *.*

but really I can't see this new one making #1 officially, though I imagine it will go to #1 on Spotify for a few days. the UK don't get behind his rap songs as much as his (half-)singing ones (ie God's Plan, Nice For What), besides it does sound like an album track.

I know the circular discussion has been had a million times, but the way playlists and payola orchestrate everything now makes it more manipulated than ever. I know there was manipulation with the likes of fanbase boy/girlbands infiltrating through before but at least in comparison it felt like there was a semblance of choice and decision making there, rather than head honchos completely ruling the entire process like we have now. I know that's how it is now and I accept it, but it doesn't mean I have to like or agree with it.

I mean, we have a lot of reputable and respectable artists literally TAILORING their music and watering it down to try and get these playlist adds. How is that good for artistic integrity and creativity?

What's interesting for me is that in the other thread about the biggest hits of the year, I see a lot of circumventing the raw streaming stats (which in the end are only just a slice of the bigger picture) in favour of popularity being represented by what gets exposed on radio/TV/ads/singing contests etc. That in itself is just a lot of executive decisions from different sets of higher ups, which you could argue isn't much different.

I always find it interesting to try and determine how popular a song is in its own right but Spotify definitely makes it tricky. Do songs like "Pretty Girl" or "Call On Me" eventually transcend their playlistola status? If they do, is that of their own merit or just Stockholm syndrome from being thrust so heavily into the spotlight that they can't help but take off? It's kind of a shame because this platform is ripe for songs virally taking off, but since the numbers don't work for it, it's very difficult for it to happen without feeling like a song/artist has already become part of this carefully curated machine.

At least now I have the opportunity to rip on songs when their vital playlists are taken away from them and they plummet away. biggrin.gif

I agree with you to some extent. Especially the point about how some artists seem to make songs specifically to be play-listed everywhere on Spotify. For example there were millions of songs a couple of years ago that seemed to be based on Lean On which was annoying.

However, before then radio stations seemed to have just as much impact as the Spotify playlists do. I watched again, and again, and again the situation where Capital FM started playing a song and it would shoot up iTunes fast. You could see it with pre-orders and the fake cover versions, but it was most obvious with post-album singles or the international singles that weren't held back. And singles that Capital FM decided not to playlist would usually not do much. A common pattern was that songs which were only supported by Radio 1 and not Capital FM would often debut at around #16 and spend 2 weeks in the top 40. The only other ways I could think of to get a song to do well in the charts without Capital FM would be if it got used on TV a lot (e.g. in adverts or talent shows), in movies, or there were sometimes cases of a music video being released and being able to boost a song enough to get top 40 without any airplay. (Also, many artists clearly made music specifically for Capital FM and its equivalent stations in other countries like Z100, etc, which is not that different to the problem we have today of artists making songs specifically to be put in as many Spotify playlists as possible). Also, I want to point out that of course there were exceptions. Jar Of Hearts somehow sold bucketloads without being played on either Capital FM or Radio 1 as far as I remember. Pass Out managed to debut at #1 with only Radio 1 support (although Capital ended up playing it a huge amount after its release for about 18 months which gave it an extremely long chart run lol).

Radio has less impact now, but it's been replaced by Spotify playlists now unfortunately. I would have hoped with streaming at least the charts would become more organic, but that doesn't seem to have happened, it seems people at the top of the music industry will always try and find a way to control what songs get fed to people.

I would say the charts seem more accurate now though, on balance. I think it's because a lot of people who never legally downloaded music weren't included in the charts back then, but now many of them actually use Spotify or Apple Music. I know it's something everybody discussed a lot, but there were some songs that I would hear all the time, for months (and no, NOT from my friends) that never made the top 40, and I refuse to believe some of those songs were at best the 83rd most popular song in the country in its most popular week or whatever. It just doesn't make any sense. Whilst I appreciate people in different parts of the country, different ages, different lifestyles, etc. listen to different music, so nobody really can get a good picture of what's popular through the whole country solely based on their personal experiences, there's a massive difference between back then when a song that seemed to me to be everywhere peaking at #76, and today when it peaks at #13.

Some of the songs that were originally just on lots of Spotify playlists (Cheerleader, Lean On, Firestone), I would say have become popular in their own right. But yes, I'm sure there are quite a few smaller chart hits in recent years which won't be very well-known outside of Spotify users.

Radio doesn't get you chart "sales"

Posted by: danG May 28 2018, 10:36 AM

let's not pretend that getting good airplay didn't/doesn't help a lot with a song's chart position even if airplay isn't actually incorporated into the chart like it is in America though.

Posted by: JosephAvery May 28 2018, 10:43 AM

It's a difficult situation really because there's no obvious way around it. Without payola playlists, we would end up with just the top 50 playlist influencing the chart, or some other user-created playlist would become popular. People are just lazy unfortunately.

Spotify has ruined the chances of a load of songs, but it's helped kickstart a load too - the aforementioned Pretty Girl and Call On Me for instance, which I would say definitely transcended their Spotify status (Maggie performed on tour with The Vamps in April and sang Pretty Girl as well as Personal, it went down really well with the crowd and everyone knew it). That's the benefit of radio latching onto them I guess, but we've also seen Spotify hits blanked by radio (Joel Adams - Please Don't Go, FRENSHIP - Capsize, Lauv - I Like Me Better).

Posted by: Dircadirca May 28 2018, 03:05 PM

I find Joel Adams an interesting case because it's literally the only song he has on Spotify, it hasn't been relevant in close to 2 years and yet he still has an impressive 1.9 million monthly listeners. I imagine a lot of it comes from soft/chill playlists & recommendation loops from similar stuff, but I'd love to know how many people are still seeking it out or hearing it for the first time. It'd also be interesting if we had the same raw stats with Apple's streaming service because I find that an interesting comparison point when Spotify seem to be forcing a hit, whether or not there's any traction on there as well.

It's funny cause he played a gig in London 2 years ago, a bit before Please Don't Go started taking off I believe and he had plenty of new material, and it sounded great too! Weirdly, none of it ever saw the light of day (except one song on YouTube only). I had no idea he still had so many monthly listeners, I guess you're right about the chill playlists! I don't think Please Don't Go ever saw much traction elsewhere, it always seemed notably lower on the OCC's streaming chart than the Spotify chart alone suggested (whereas songs like Call On Me, Pretty Girl, Let You Down, etc all started out similarly but the effect levelled out as they peaked).

Apparently it was a Top 10 hit in Sweden blink.gif Interesting you should mention that though, here's a bit of a chart review for the song which I found quite interesting (from August 2016)

QUOTE
Everything about this whole rollout is interesting, unusual or suspicious except for the song. That's just run-of-the-mill Sam Smith with the big 3 words replaced by another 3 words that mean the same thing.

What's odd is the way this song has been promoted. From what I know, Joel was a prettyboy teenager who auditioned for the Australian X Factor in 2012, and despite a fair amount of hype in his promo package + overwhelming judge support, didn't even make it past bootcamp. As is often the case there, he managed to amass about 1 million fans on Facebook before he even released his debut single because that's how that works. This debut single was released late last year and got a bit of a push on Australian radio becoming a minor chart hit, held back by the fact that as is often the case with radio-pushed songs, hardly anyone was streaming it.

Now, Joel is not signed to a major label, but by some sheer force of demand, found himself on pretty much all the top Spotify playlists that fit the bill (ie, not hip hop/dance). It is through this that the song has stormed to huge 'popularity', receiving more than 1 million streams a day for the last 2 months, reaching the top 50 in places like the US, the UK & Germany. This all kickstarted shortly after he did a quick promo tour in Sweden which of course is where Spotify was founded.

This success is bizarrely isolated. "Please Don't Go" has been played over 110 million times on Spotify, but only 32 million times on YouTube. That deficit is actually not very out of the ordinary, but 2 months ago according to his own social media post, it was 25 million on YouTube and 31 million on Spotify. Not only have the Spotify plays increased 10 times as fast in that period, but given the release date, the video has actually slowed down in gaining views, that's despite having subsequently charted in several countries since then. To add to this tale, a month ago he tweeted a poll suggesting that more people have discovered him from YouTube than Spotify https://twitter.com/JoelAdamsMusic/status/759082302047555584 Probably not true, but shows who is actually making an impact and isn't just a number. Funnily enough, his tweets in the last couple of months have been averaging less likes/RTs than before the song was 'a hit', though that's possibly because he retweets all praise currently.

What strikes me as odd about the whole thing is the general tone & attitude on display. It's not far off stuff I've seen before, artists getting their first hit are generally pretty excited about it and often do watch the way they climb up the ladder. I can't say I've seen anyone as attentative and blunt as Joel though. All his chart related social media posts have a weird tone about them, almost robotic. For someone who wrote and composed a song on his own, he sure uses 'we' a lot. I think what makes it more weird is the nature of the popularity. While not necessarily obscure otherwise, the success does feel contrived by way of being stuck on popular playlists and letting disengaged playlist shufflers do the work. It seems as if he knows this because he never tweeted asking people to stream the song at all between February and April, but did in May a few days before debuting in the Spotify top 200 in Sweden (it went straight in the top 120, as you do). Since then it's been a barrage of telling everyone to interact with the song in any way that pushes it up the charts, even if it's mostly disengaged people doing most of the legwork. A brief selection of things here http://i.imgur.com/9FIaHTr.png (side note: I really can't understand why anyone would market themselves as 'blue-eyed soul', which literally means a white person making soul music. I suppose it sounds more sophisticated).

What I get from the posts is that this is a weird example of trying to be popular, not by force of personality, but by way of artificial popularity. Because in a way, everyone has a trough, where they will not listen to anything unless it's at least a certain level of popular...or it's by their friends, whatever. If you don't think that's true, look at what you're listening to and I'm fairly certain that hundreds, if not thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of other people have listened to it, likely before you even did. Getting "Please Don't Go" up the charts is a way of making it reach people who won't reach themselves. Whether or not it's a success depends on how you look at it. Would you be happy if for every 500,000 people that listen to your song, about 100 pay money for it? Even the most recent winner of The Voice had a better ratio than that.

If you're reading this Joel or representatives (I wouldn't put it past them), know that you better have an ace up your sleeves. People don't come to shows to see the guy who tweets market research polls and chart updates for their equally personality-free song. You have an audience, so rather than just trying to slowly bolster it through whatever means necessary, cherish it and let it fluorish on word of mouth. Otherwise a dead-end will hit very soon when all the stats don't line up with demand. I still do not think very highly of the song.

What is the difference between paying for heavy radio play and paying for favourable Spotify playlists?

There is no difference IMO - the latter is just a lot more obvious.


Because like I said, there is at least an element of choice and a decision making process there. A large chunk of streams being based on placings on a curated playlist isn't quite the same. It's like a chart rules by zombies at the command and direction of Spotify.

Seems incredibly likely at this point. It'll probably be another top 10 for him eventually too.

Anyway it's good to see Jess Glynne, M-22, Juice WRLD, Arlissa and Loud Luxury getting new peaks today. Summer Hits UK really doing wonders for M-22, Arlissa and Loud Luxury anyway, could perhaps push M-22 into the top 20 officially and maybe the Arlissa song can finally become a hit? I'd also very much welcome Loud Luxury doing something, it sounds like a big summer dance smash. Hopefully Juice WRLD 'Lucid Dreams' goes top 50 soon too as it's one of the better urban/trap songs of the moment.

Absolutely. Whatever tricks the labels pulled to get publicity, it always ended with a punter choosing to make the sale. That's a much bigger decision than the song being played and you not bothering to skip it. Streaming figures are only slightly more meaningful than airplay.

Posted by: AcerBen May 29 2018, 12:26 PM

That Joel Adams situation will always puzzle me. They didn't even service the song to UK radio, and there was no follow-up or promotion. But somebody went to a lot of effort to get that song on Hot Hits UK for 4 months solid. Why?

Posted by: JosephAvery May 29 2018, 12:34 PM

Please Don't Go seemed to serve more as a promotional tool for the independent label he was signed to - after Please Don't Go was a hit, there was a lot of promotion for the label itself via his social media accounts. Some of the posts even included #onehitwonder laugh.gif it's all very odd as Joel is a good musician and fab songwriter going by the songs he performed live, it's weird they didn't even bother with a second single and just push it onto Hot Hits again.

Posted by: Bré May 29 2018, 01:47 PM

Good to see 'Shotgun' taking off now, it's another good tune from him, will be impressive if he matches the 2 top 10s he got from his debut album!

Posted by: Bjork May 29 2018, 03:38 PM

wow today someone showed me how the free-spotify for phones works and it's really worst that I ever imagined
I knew there was a random function, so if you're on a playlist like hothits you cannot choose, you have to listen randomly
but I always imagined randomly meant that it was gonna play track 11 then track 66 then track 22 then track 47
but actually it goes 1,3,2,5,4,6,10,8, so basically it plays the songs in order with a slight reshuffle,
so that really favours the first songs on the list cos all these people having free spotify on the phone are hardly ever reach song 66 or song 70

Yeah, do you know what I saw this recently too and even though I’ve been against this argument before, I do think streams from green accounts from the phone should not count towards the chart as you can’t search and select individual songs at all, you have no choice but to listen to playlists, just like listening to the radio.

Posted by: danG May 29 2018, 04:06 PM

personally I think the OCC should adopt a similar chart rule to the one Billboard are about to have, where 'free' streams count for less than 'premium' streams, as I believe more revenue is generated from a premium stream than a free, ad-supported one.

Posted by: Bjork May 29 2018, 05:11 PM

agree if free-account people on the phone cannot even search and listen to a song they want, they shouldn't count at all
like my friend wanted to listen to Solo in the hothits playlist and had to wait like 1 hour til it randomly came up, so before that we listened to the first20 tracks, slightly reshuffled but no choice at all

Posted by: LeeWallace May 29 2018, 06:30 PM

Looking likely that Years & Years could get a hit with ‘If You’re Over Me’! 💃🏻

Posted by: Dircadirca May 29 2018, 06:31 PM

Had no idea about that peculiar shuffle feature. Makes it difficult to imagine it's not entirely intentional as a way to bend the charts to their liking.

Posted by: Bré May 29 2018, 06:43 PM

I honestly don't understand why Spotify bothers with its free mobile version. It's basically non-functional. (Especially bizarre when the free desktop version is, as far as I know, the same as the premium version but just with some ads). The fact that they advertise being able to skip an unlimited number of songs as a SELLING POINT for the premium version is pathetic.

It’s crazy how many people use the mobile version on a daily basis too! Like so many people I know just put on hot hits and hope a good song comes on next.

Someone surely went to a lot of effort to get it onto Today's Top Hits, the huge international playlist, but I wouldn't be surprised if it only ended up on Hot Hits UK because it was doing well internationally, which would explain not specifically servicing/promoting it in the UK. (Or it might just be that his independent label didn't have the connections/resources for radio.)

Doesn't explain the lack of follow-up though, of course. Interestingly, he's not the only artist with a 2016 Spotify hit who's yet to have a second song released: Nevada, of the tropical house cover 'The Mack', also has radio silence on his Spotify page (apart from remixes of Charli XCX and Liam Payne last year).

At the same time though, it sounds to me like a feature that would be popular; if I were a Hot Hits listener, I'd probably want to hear the top songs first, not sit through Track 66 and hope 1 or 2 of my favourites come up within the next hour. (I didn't know this either though, thanks for reporting.)

Surely the OCC would have known about things like this and would have thought at some point maybe taking it into account as someone having no control over what they listen to and not being able to skip anything surely can't be counted as part of a 'sale'? (they should have asked questions like this before they started counting streaming as it's so much more complicated than a simple sale because someone bought it) I know some people are sick of streaming sceptics but they've really got to fix a lot in order to keep the chart about what the most popular songs are because if streaming keeps dominating even more then more songs will get higher because mobile users couldn't skip them despite not liking them and I don't see how anyone can really defend that.

Posted by: danG May 29 2018, 10:35 PM

You can mute a song if you don't like it and cannot skip it, and it won't count to the chart if it is on mute. I suppose the vast majority wouldn't bother to mute and just sit through a song they're not too keen on, but the option is there.

I do agree that these types of streams should be worth less than streams from premium users who are actually paying for a Spotify subscription though.

Definitely true that it can be a welcome feature, but you wouldn't go out of your way to make such a feature and not acknowledge it. I suppose it's a hard sell. Bordering on wild conspiracy, but it could be argued that playlists are carefully planned like this so they look enticing, only for the truth to be that they're manipulated to keep polarizing stuff from shuffling in, so people keep using the service and keep playing the same songs.

Posted by: Steve201 May 31 2018, 10:28 PM

Although it's good to see a track reaching a new peak by one place would it be possible to highlight if there's been a substantial increase in streams for example with the one place rise of 2002 how much was the streaming increase?

Anne-Marie only gained 1.8k streams today, her getting a new peak is mostly due to the collapse in streams for Ariana who falls 3-5 losing 13.7k streams.

The biggest gainer is 5SOS who gain 30.4k.

QUOTE(ubɹǝɯbƆ @ May 10 2018, 10:54 PM) *
Spotify have announced that they will no longer promote R Kelly and XXXTENTACION’s music due to their hateful content.

Bye bye


Spotify has announced that its “hate conduct” policy will be rolled back after an industry backlash.

In May, Spotify announced that certain artists would be removed from their owned and operated playlists based on behavior. Musicians facing potential criminal charges, including R Kelly and rapper XXXTentacion, were affected, and the company came under fire for regulating some artists and not others.

In a post published on the Spotify blog, the “vague” language of the initial provision is criticized along with recognition of the concerns of some artists that mistakes made in their youth would then affect their career.

“We don’t aim to play judge and jury,” it reads. “We aim to connect artists and fans – and Spotify playlists are a big part of how we do that. Our playlist editors are deeply rooted in their respective cultures, and their decisions focus on what music will positively resonate with their listeners. That can vary greatly from culture to culture, and playlist to playlist. Across all genres, our role is not to regulate artists.”

The post echoes comments made by Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, who spoke about his misgivings over the initiative at the Recode tech conference. “We rolled this out wrong and we could have done a much better job,” he said.

The move comes after representatives for acts including Kendrick Lamar reached out to Ek to express their disappointment with the policy. Spotify initially responded by reinstating music by XXXTentacion on official playlists. The 20-year-old rapper is awaiting trial over charges of aggravated battery against a pregnant woman and witness tampering.

“We will continue to seek ways to impact the greater good and further the industry we all care so much about,” the post also reads. “We believe Spotify has an opportunity to help push the broader music community forward through conversation, collaboration and action. We’re committed to working across the artist and advocacy communities to help achieve that.”

Impressive for AJ Tracey/Not3s, can see that being a Top 40 hit!

Posted by: Hadji Jun 3 2018, 01:03 PM

Impressed at that massive jump for the 1975. I hope it’s enough for them to score their first top 10 hit

Posted by: ebae Jun 3 2018, 03:22 PM

James Arthur not top 100 and Jonab Blue out, ouch!

Posted by: Hadji Jun 3 2018, 05:32 PM

Ew at Kanye clogging up the top 50

Posted by: omrimayo Jun 3 2018, 05:49 PM

1975 down to 32...
All Kanye top 17.

Waviest Spotify chart. 🌊 Kind of wish Spotify playlists weren't pushing All Mine so hard because that's just gonna mis-represent the album as mindless chauvinism.

boo kaney west at #4,5,8,11,12,14,17 sad.gif
it's even worst in the US where he has #1-7

Posted by: WhoOdyssey Jun 3 2018, 06:56 PM

Hopefully The 1975 can stabalize around there.

His recent behaviour and comments I presume, he has turned a lot of people against him.

A bit random, but I recently noticed how incredibly fast Mabel's 'Fine Line' fell out of the top 200 ohmy.gif



It looks like:
18/4: it was 11th on Hot Hits UK, and #24 on the chart
19/4: it was removed from Hot Hits UK, and already fell to #34 (although it had been #30 a few days before)
20/4: J. Cole's album and Avicii's re-entries helped push it down to #67 (without them, it would've been #51)
21/4: it fell to #79
22/4: it fell to #95 (behind 13 Avicii songs and 11 J. Cole songs)

and it stabilised there for a few days, but never recovered. It's surprising because it felt like it was doing so impressively well at its peak, but this makes it look like it had no standing beyond its playlists. I wonder why it was removed so soon - maybe due to 'Cigarette' also being there, but it didn't suddenly move up when 'Fine Line' was removed. If her label asked for 'Fine Line' to be removed to help 'Cigarette', I bet they're regretting it since 'Cigarette' barely made the top 50... and ended up falling from #49 to #115 in 3 days.

That's the Spotify chart (http://kworb.net/spotify/track/3CmDfdlhSnRvoNeCwXWvh1.html), so it has nothing to do with ACR.

(I haven't seen the official Irish chart in years though, so maybe they do for all I know.)

Posted by: Dexton Jun 4 2018, 12:26 PM

Ireland doesn’t have ridiculously unbalanced chart rules (or least no ACR kink.gif)

Posted by: pippa Jun 4 2018, 02:00 PM

Ireland also don't appear to have the 3 song rule limit charting for an act.
