This is the Spotify chart thread for December 2018, the go-to topic for UK Spotify chart discussion! The last thread was supposed to last us 2 months but amazingly we got through 47 pages of discussion in a single month!! Anyway, we're now very much in the run-up to Christmas so expect a lot of appropriately themed music to be dominating the chart for the next few weeks! Hopefully the 1st of December effect can kick out a few 6ix9ine tracks from the top 50 too.
FAQs What is streaming? For streaming related FAQs read this thread. 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: Spotify App [top 50] Spotify Website [top 200] Kworb [top 200 and extra data] LivePopBars [top 200] SponOnTrack [top 200] How often does the chart update? It should update once every day, usually in the early afternoon - 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? 100 plays if you are on Spotify Premium, or 600 if you are using the ad-supported free tier. However you cannot simply play a song that many 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 600 times if you really want to). The number changes to 200 or 1200 plays when a song moves to ACR. For more information on the rules of ACR see this thread. For information on what songs are currently on ACR and what songs will be moving to ACR, refer to this thread. 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 over half 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 often 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.

Mama had 850,000 global streams yesterday. It’s going to have a good debut.

The only Mama song which deserves to be a hit is the Clean Goulding song, not the shit9ine song

Jonas Blue already had a hit with a song called Mama, so neither is needed.

I do love the track but put her at the bottom of the playlists to test the theory I'm not arguing that the playlists are helping her on Spotify. Anyone would benefit from being at the top. However, it makes perfect sense because it is quite undeniably the world's most popular Christmas song - looking away from streaming, it does the best on downloads too. In the UK it's more of a closely run contest with Wham! and The Pogues (although Mariah generally wins over both) but worldwide it's clear. Look at iTunes too, where Mariah is still comfortably ahead. |

I think Santa Tell Me will become one of the ‘main’ Christmas songs within the next few years!
