Thought it'd be a good idea to have a thread where we can all track the latest chart activity. Here goes...

Push The Button has been discounted on UK/Ireland iTunes for the second time this year. It's currently at #178 on Irish iTunes. Last month it managed #153 on UK Spotify, so hopefully it'll make an appearance again soon.

The Love Actually Version of Too Lost In You was added to a new Spotify playlist last week, and managed a peak of #174 on Spotify UK. This edit is well over a million plays now, and it's creeped into their Top 10 at #7. Get Shitty has been booted out. cheer.gif

Too Lost In You is a great song and quite Christmassy. Should sell a few copies this year.

Posted by: rowork 9th November 2017, 11:54 AM

Definitely! Will be interesting to see how it fares on the charts this year. The LA Version is up to #6 on their Spotify Top 10 now.

Too Lost In You (#84) - iTunes Norway


Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 26th November 2017, 11:14 AM

Will be interesting to track how far TLIY rises over the next 4 weeks as Love Actually and Christmas Playlists get broken out

Posted by: rowork 26th November 2017, 04:28 PM

When Spotify added the Love Actually Version to a playlist earlier this month it had a massive impact! Will be nice to see some more chart action in the lead up to Christmas.

Latest updates:

TLIY iTunes - #166 Australia | #139 Gambia (NE)

Also - very random, but great to see! Perhaps the albums have been discounted in these countries?

Three Apple Music - #133 Bulgaria (NE)
One Touch Apple Music - #47 Mongolia (NE)

Yaaaas Oman. Get it son!



Did we see any impact in the UK from the S4M reduction to 59p?

Posted by: rowork 14th December 2017, 11:53 PM

Some updates!

Norway iTunes - Freak Like Me (#143)
UK iTunes - Overloaded (#975)

Posted by: rowork 17th December 2017, 02:44 PM

Another boost today! 2 versions are charting on UK iTunes:

TLIY #562

Curious to see if we can get closer to the top 100 as Christmas draws near

Posted by: rowork 22nd December 2017, 01:57 AM

Unfortunately not. #703 and #1487 on UK iTunes.

However, a massive update in France! #57 on iTunes. ohmy.gif

Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 22nd December 2017, 10:11 AM

Ooooh well done France!!

Disappointingly low in the UK

Posted by: rowork 22nd December 2017, 11:34 PM

Really nice to see! It actually reentered the French Top 100 back in 2014, so there's always a chance it could make another appearance.

It's up to #447 and #1126 on UK iTunes, which has brought Overloaded back into the album chart at #672. Let's see how things go over Christmas!


Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 22nd December 2017, 11:39 PM

Always nice to see a reappearance in the album chart!

Didn't know it returned to the French chart! That's awesome!

Posted by: rowork 22nd December 2017, 11:58 PM

Yep! Just a pity this is the ONLY news we get these days. sad.gif

Posted by: rowork 9th February 2018, 08:21 PM

One Touch - iTunes: #48 Denmark (NE)

Overload also passed 7 million plays on UK Spotify today!

Posted by: rowork 20th February 2018, 09:40 PM

Push The Button - iTunes: #171 New Zealand (NE)
Too Lost In You - iTunes: #16 Belarus (NE)

In the UK, Push The Button recently passed 23 million plays, and Freak Like Me (in place of TLIY Love Actually Version) has made it's rightful return to their Top 10 at #8 (it's on the Spotify Easy 00s playlist as of today which might be why).

UK iTunes Albums - Change #1381

Nice to see something other than Overloaded charting!

Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 3rd March 2018, 08:04 PM

Yaaaas Freak!! It really needs to be up there in the top 10.


Interesting to see Change doing something, as you say it's nice it's not Overloaded for once!

Posted by: rowork 3rd March 2018, 08:52 PM

It's just been added to iTunes' 'Top-selling albums under £5' - that'll be why!

Posted by: rowork 22nd April 2018, 03:05 PM

The timeless Freak Like Me made an appearance on the UK Spotify Top 200, April 12th:

https://spotifycharts.com/regional/gb/daily/2018-04-12

Racked up 48,859 streams, peaking at #182. It's now #6 on their Top 10, and just about to pass 4 million plays.

Posted by: rowork 18th May 2018, 03:55 PM

Overloaded: The Singles Collection is currently at #332 on UK iTunes. Such a consistent seller - would love to see a recent total!

Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 19th May 2018, 10:16 AM

I don't think it takes much to hit the lower reaches of the iTunes charts these days. So it's probably a couple of k at most since the last update sad.gif

I am loving that they keep dipping in and out of these charts though. Shows they still have a market and people who are discovering and loving their music

I wonder if they've been used in a TV show over there or something.

I am living for that level of taste being shown though. Million Different Ways and Situation's Heavy are both fab. My feelings on Three are extensively documented.

To be fair, at this point I think all it might take for it to chart briefly would be one person buying those songs.

Three is just perfection. Nothing will ever top that era for me. I adore both Situation's Heavy - so melancholic - and Million Different Ways. Didn't Mutya contribute to the production on the latter? I remember reading that back in the day.

It’d take something truly special to ever overtake Three for me

I think I remember that too! I do remember stories of her getting involved in some of the production of three.

This seems like a good time to update this topic. I'll try to post an update every week with their top 10 most streamed Spotifty songs, will be interesting to track how much their songs increase on a week-to-week basis.

As of today:

01. About You Now- 82.256.060
02. Push The Button- 81.264.205
03. Round Round- 21.363.690
04. Too Lost In You- 36.799.079
05. Hole In The Head- 16.431.932
06. Overload- 17.155.406
07. Run For Cover (MNEK remix)- 191.699
08. About You Now (Radio Edit)- 13.595.096
09. Ugly- 13.263.425
10. Freak Like Me- 9.511.339

Average monthly listeners: 3.024.032

Overall I would say their streams are quite healthy, it's good to see Run For Cover has climbed another place in recent days and their monthly average keeps increasing. Just hope Freak will hit the 10 million mark soon, pains me to see it this low.

Thanks Chemistry! The lack of love for the sheer classic that is Freak Like Me makes me sick. It's sitting on 9,559,762 at the moment, so at least we'll see it pass 10 million soon (even though it should be on 100 million plays already).

Posted by: Quarantilas 29th May 2021, 01:42 PM

Freak deserves nothing less than 1bn streams. Banger of a track. Hopefully with their comeback we will start to see their numbers pick up and a lot of songs March towards 100m. Huge parts of their catalogue still holds up extremely well

Posted by: rowork 31st May 2021, 05:55 PM

Hole In The Head is featured on Little Mix's Girl Band Vibes Spotify playlist which is just short of 20,000 likes:

Quite a big increase for About.. Last week it was up around 500K and this week over 600K. Push also had a very nice increase.

Posted by: tommie 6th June 2021, 03:22 PM

They all seem to be up (except for the RFC remix), so at least it indicates that their One Touch push is having positive effects on their overall streaming numbers. Time to release the next remix I feel...

I don't get why Freak Like Me isn't doing better tbh. It doesn't seem to appear low when you search for it either; I guess the Adina Howard version might have some negative impact on it, but really, the backing track is entirely different.

Posted by: Quarantilas 6th June 2021, 05:22 PM

Great to see an uptick in numbers. The important thing I guess is that it’s rising and showing there’s interest in them still. That is a solid sign for the future

I am surprised by that as well, considering it's always considered to be one of the fan favourites and it was a #1. I'll try to add some of the other singles as well, so we can track them as well. Will be interesting to see how songs outside their top 20 are gaining streams.

Posted by: Quarantilas 13th June 2021, 01:12 PM

I assume that the MNEK mix is artificially pushed into their top 10 which is why Freak is out as it was 10th place. Sadly at +20k it will take freak forever to close the gap and swap spots with Get Sexy

I always assumed the Spotify top 10 was based on the most listened to songs at the moment and therefore would have thought Freak would be top 10 now again?

Posted by: Quarantilas 13th June 2021, 02:38 PM

I would have assumed its overall, I don't use Spotify personally, but total play counts for all the songs you have there in the top 10 are the 9 highest + MNEK RFC out of all the songs you have figures for.

I cant see New Year, Soul Sound, Angels, Caught In A Moment, Follow Me Home, No Can Do, About A Girl, Wear My Kiss or Flowers making the top 10 on total play count either.


to me it looks like a lightly manipulated all time top 10 to pitch the latest release into it and give it additional traction vs a dynamic top 10 based on what folks are currently enjoying.

Really random, but Too Lost In You has been bouncing around the Shazam charts over Christmas:

Shazam:
#44 Czech Republic
#58 Norway
#102 Finland
#102 United Kingdom (looking at the Shazam chart for UK, it's fallen -42 since yesterday, so I guess the peak was much higher)
#157 Croatia
#187 Belgium
#188 Denmark

I'm guessing people have heard it and haven't known what it was. I hope this means they've added it to their Spotify playlists.

Honestly, none of her singles ever took off so I'm not surprised that an album track has taken the lead. I think There's A Place is lovely and has a broad appeal.

Lol while searching for playlists that it might be on, randomly I discovered a playlist called "Siobhan Donaghy 37 years old" by some user that has several playlists like "Siobhan's festive favourites" and "Hasan and Siobhans favourites". I wonder if it's one of her friends or something. I'm not linking to it because I don't wanna e-stalk. Could also just be a weird fan I guess tongue.gif

Honestly, none of her singles ever took off so I'm not surprised that an album track has taken the lead. I think There's A Place is lovely and has a broad appeal.


That's true, unfortunately. But Ghosts has been her top song for years and years (still shocked that got up to 500k streams!), so I just wonder how people discovered There's A Place all of a sudden. Not complaining of course, like you said, it's a fantastic song.

I don't remember seeing Love Actually on at any point this year sad.gif didn't see any TLIY boost either.

Just noticed There's A Place is #1 on Siobhan's Spotify top 10, which seems quite random? Her monthly average is around 17k now which is obviously WAY too low, but seems higher than usual. I could swear it was always around 7/8k.

I’m not questioning it because it’s well overdue and deserved. Ghosts (the album) in particular is vastly underrated

There's A Place is stunning. Saying that all of Ghosts is stunning, so any of the tracks deserve to be on top.

Push The Button features on https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DWSIaDfaHJHox which has over 177k likes and is also being advertised on Spotify! Should add to its streams quite nicely over the next couple of days.

Since things appear to be livening up in the world of Sugababes, I thought I'd see how their top 10 is streaming on Spotify following on from Chemistry's June 2021 update:

01. About You Now - 110,093,273 (+26,223,584)
02. Push The Button - 107,154,646 (+24,867,142)
03. Round Round - 29,636,967 (+7,729,285)
04. Too Lost In You - 46,349,722 (+9,053,084)
05. Hole In The Head - 22,729,515 (+5,945,089)
06. Overload - 21,600,791 (+4,197,882)
07. About You Now (Radio Edit) - 17,100,644 (+3,327,575)
08. Ugly - 16,710,937 (+3,249,440)
09. Stronger - 8,744,613 (+1,646,522)
10. Get Sexy - 11,997,608 (+1,594,566)

Run For Cover (MNEK Remix) was top 10 this time last year, but has since been replaced by Stronger.

Just outside their top 10:

Freak Like Me - 12,033,122 (+2,371,509)
In The Middle - 4,525,673 (+1,052,498)
Shape - 5,556,730 (+864,697)
Run For Cover (MNEK Remix) - 1,099,976 (+725,976)
Red Dress - 3,660,257 (+599,575)
Run For Cover - 1,800,137 (+289,053)

Freak Like Me's gains are much higher than both Get Sexy sick2.gif and Stronger, so not sure why it's not top 10...

They're on 3,107,498 average monthly listeners which holds an increase of 11,173 on last year.

Enjoy! smile.gif

As you said, sales are dismal but it's just good to see their name out there. And at least we know they thrive with lots and lots of physical formats (hint, hint @sugababes!) which is what really matters.

#12-ish. It got quite high on iTunes after the Norton performance, but of course fell quickly since it had zero support elsewhere.

I wouldn't get my hopes up - they should be around ~9% on the iTunes popularity bar and they would need around ~18% to get up to the top 15. I think charting at all is an achievement for a track that a bunch of fans just re-downloaded.

ETA: #30!

You're right - it's gone for whatever reason. It's still on Spotify, so it might be Island trying to push the coaster that is Essential Sugababes for those that necessarily wants to own a copy of a Sugababes GH?

That's what I suspected... As much as I hate the Overloaded package as a whole, I would've liked to see it go triple platinum at some point (it was on 650k as of 2009). It'll be much harder with streams alone. dry.gif

It does seem to have peaked now (#30) as it's down to #37. We'll see if that download campaign does anything later tonight, but I'd assume most fans have downloaded it already?

Wasn't it an "album-only" track (I'm guessing to supress individual downloads from back in the day)? I'm guessing when they uploaded it on Spotify they forgot to uncheck some box.

I don't think tour announcements tend to result in huge bumps on iTunes unless you're counting acts like ABBA.

Flatline seems to have benefitted though as it's still gathering a decent amount of streams per day for being a decade old flop track.

Im hearing we are up 21 on Apple Music in the UK. If it can hold onto a solid place and we get some Spotify traction then we might scrape into the arse end of the top 75/100

That’s with zero promo in the middle of the Christmas madness just on hype alone!

Hopefully this takes them to sign a nice deal with a BMG type of label and make a proper push for the next album if that one materialises!

Posted by: Silas 24th December 2022, 06:06 PM

Seriously if Spotify is giving them the same kind of traction it might Chart and that honestly would be a hell of a gift.

Zero promo and 100% just fan service. And not even like casuals or that but like proper diehard have been hanging off every soon for the past decade hardcore fans.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 24th December 2022, 07:03 PM

Agreed, this is really impressive so far. Surely a record label somewhere is seeing the potential here.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 24th December 2022, 08:28 PM

On the iTunes Australia Pop songs chart Today is at #65 and Victory at #189.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 24th December 2022, 11:57 PM

#154 on Apple Music Australia.plenty of Christmas albums ahead of it. Hopefully it can reach the top 100 after they clear out.

Interesting to see that "Too Lost In You - Love Actually Version" is within their Popular Top 10 on Spotify, in 8th place (while the original album version is 4th). A lot of Love Actually viewers must check out the Love Actually OST and play it via there!

Too Lost in You (Album Version)
23rd Dec streams: 28,769 / total: 50,788,060

Too Lost in You (Love Actually Version)
23rd Dec streams: 13,200 / total: 4,884,569

23rd Dec combined streams: 41,969 / combined total: 55,672,629

There's also a Radio Edit with a total of 1,933,756 streams, so those 3 versions combined take the total to 57,606,385.


Too Lost in You is doing a lot better at the moment than Round Round which added 24,111 streams to its total, but is quite far behind Push The Button (+60,704) and About You Now (+56,380 [album version])

Posted by: Zárate 25th December 2022, 06:54 AM

So ‘The Lost Tapes’ is #2 in iTunes worldwide by the kworb metric drama.gif

Also up to 10 in UK Apple Music. VERY eager to see how is it gonna do in Spotify! I hope a couple of tracks will break the 5 digits barrier!

I'd be very satisfied if they all at least breaks the fourth digit barrier because I think it's the 1000 mark where plays start being visible? It means we can at least track them. I wasn't expecting anything from streaming though (Flowers didn't do anything spectacular after all), so I'm very happy to see it at #10 on Apple Music.

Posted by: Silas 25th December 2022, 08:48 AM

Same! It’s so heartwarming to see them have a hit album on Apple Music. They’re on the main page of Apple Music as a new release and I’m really hoping that some of the AM playlists get updated with some of the new material, like the Sugababes Essentials or the NewMusicDaily one

Posted by: tommie 25th December 2022, 08:18 PM

We have first day Spotify numbers!

Drum: 14 030
Flatline: 1 490 417
Love Me Hard: 12 112
Summer of '99: 12 679
Boys: 12 394
Metal Heart: 9 479
Beat Is Gone: 8 801
No Regrets: 9 669
Today: 10 405
Victory: 8 622
I'm Alright: 8 429
I Lay Down: 8 260
Back in the Day: 7 413

Decent result I'd say since they're not well-established on streaming. Hopefully a couple of tracks will make it onto playlists.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 25th December 2022, 08:28 PM

Thanks for sharing. Looks like it’s off to a decent start.

Posted by: Zárate 25th December 2022, 08:54 PM

This is actually exactly what I was expecting for! And Flatline is the biggest gainer of 15k. In one or two days it should cross 1.5m!

Also interesting how is it gonna change. Right now everything is gaining more or less according to the track order with the biggest track that is standing out is ‘Today’. But it should change to the fan favourites more soon!

Posted by: tommie 26th December 2022, 05:08 PM

It was down to #20 on Apple Music when I checked this morning, but is back up to #15, supposedly due to Christmas albums starting to fall out cheer.gif

Don't think so unfortunately.

Posted by: No Sleeep 26th December 2022, 07:15 PM

I wonder how far it is behind Now Christmas, hopefully that should start falling now and it can sneak a #1 peak. Also #2 on Amazon’s albums chart so that’s really good, hoping it can creep into the top 100 even if it is at #100!

Posted by: tommie 26th December 2022, 07:39 PM

Obviously a slower day yesterday - partly due to it not being "new" but also everyone playing Christmas music. Flatline is close to 1.5m now, Boys and Summer of '99 is showing early signs of favouritism. No Regrets / Today are obviously doing a bit better than the tracks surrounding them. Hopefully a few of the tracks will be pushed to playlists...

Posted by: Silas 26th December 2022, 08:02 PM

Would be nice to see some on playlists

Posted by: Zárate 26th December 2022, 08:16 PM

Unfortunately I wouldn't count on any playlisting, with it being a completely independent release and numbers being too modest for Spotify to notice.

So this is how it went on day 2 + the linear approximation how it would go if all the tracks were equally liked and the only factor would be the track order:
Track Streams | Approximation by track order
Drum 7479 | 7479
Flatline 7940 | 7203
Love Me Hard 6706 | 6928
Summer of '99 7301 | 6652
Boys 6750 | 6377
Metal Heart 5267 | 6101
Beat Is Gone 5088 | 5826
No Regrets 5532 | 5550
Today 5681 | 5274
Victory 4704 | 4999
I'm Alright 4839 | 4723
I Lay Down 4401 | 4448
Back in the Day 4172 | 4172


To be honest I think it's more like 'Love Me Hard' is un-liked for some reason laugh.gif sad.gif Same with 'Victory'. But yeah, 'Summer '99' is a bit in front too.
'Today' is also definitely gaining more than its track number would suggest though.
And seems like 'Back in the Day' will struggle to cross 100k the longest, it's really drifting apart from the rest.

Posted by: No Sleeep 26th December 2022, 08:22 PM

That’s disappointing, Back in the Day has been my favourite Sugababes song since I first heard it. I’m not surprised about Love Me Hard though, that’s what they get for giving us that on tour when they had bops like Summer of 99 in their vault heehee.gif

Posted by: Silas 26th December 2022, 09:47 PM

Love Me Hard is stunning and got a well deserved outing on tour

Posted by: No Sleeep 26th December 2022, 11:20 PM

If you say so, not a personal favourite of mine

Posted by: Zárate 27th December 2022, 07:18 PM

^ Love Me Hard is one of my favourites, sonically it's beautiful!

Meanwhile little by little it continues to gain streams! Yesterday was a bigger day than the day before with 84161 streams overall, up from 75860. Most of the tracks are above 20k now and Flatline safely above 1.5m.

Track Overall | 26.12
Drum 29548 | 8 039
Flatline 1507278 | 8 921

Posted by: No Sleeep 27th December 2022, 10:09 PM

I don’t actually dislike the song lol just think they had better options that would’ve gone down better on tour

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 27th December 2022, 10:15 PM

I think Summer of 99 would’ve been great on tour.*

*I have not yet seen them on tour but will be in February.

Posted by: Sacred3 27th December 2022, 10:44 PM

They really need some more uptempos on the album. I would have taken off victory and I lay down for other better tracks.

Posted by: Silas 27th December 2022, 11:39 PM

The albums have never been particularly filled with uptempos, One Touch doesn't have any

Posted by: tommie 28th December 2022, 06:05 AM

It's hardly as if the album is full of torch songs �� I've used it for my runs the past week and it works surprisingly well, the only section that kind of slows down a bit too much is Metal Heart / Beat Is Gone.

But even songs like Push The Button really isn't uptempo and they've never really strayed far from midtempo.

Posted by: tommie 28th December 2022, 04:12 PM

Up to #12 on Apple Music, so good news that they're just not falling out cheer.gif

Posted by: Zárate 28th December 2022, 05:29 PM

It’s still at 3 in iTunes too according to kworb worldwide! 11 in Australia and 10 in Spain (!).

It is really unlikely to chart, but I’m happy they grabbed some easy worldwide downloads, which should help turning the whole project into more of a profit.

Posted by: Silas 28th December 2022, 06:23 PM

iTunes Sales Are naff all these days but with a cd/vinyl they’d have been locked on for a solid showing. I know they’re not arsed about a chart position and this is just a bit of Fan Service but it would have been nice. Maybe if we’re lucky they can squeeze into the 90-100 range

Posted by: Zárate 28th December 2022, 09:54 PM

Meanwhile another 83k gained on Spotify, but what's more interesting is that 'Summer of '99' has become the second streamer behind 'Flatline'. And 'Drum' fell below that, 'Boys' and 'Love me Hard'.

It actually goes with my taste too, as I loved 'Drum' from the start the most, but grew old of it very quickly.

Posted by: Zárate 29th December 2022, 08:21 PM

Another 80k added yesterday! Everything fell in streams though. The steadiest is 'Beat is Gone', which lost just 0.1% of its streams of the previous day. The biggest fallers are 'Back in the Day' (-7.9%), 'I Lay Down' (-7.7%) and 'Flatline' (-6.1%). 'Summer of '99' has a chance of being the biggest gainer today actually, as well as becoming the highest album track! And 'I Lay Down' with 'Back in the Day' are really drifting apart from the rest now.

Things stand like this now after 5 days:

Track Overall | 28.12.2022
Drum 43 994 | 7 148
Flatline 1 523 943 | 8 071
Love Me Hard 41 042 | 7 372
Summer of '99 43 694 | 7 863
Boys 42 312 | 7 685
Metal Heart 32 174 | 5 706
Beat Is Gone 30 454 | 5 462
No Regrets 34 023 | 6 158
Today 34 408 | 5 954
Victory 29 189 | 5 077
I'm Alright 29 283 | 5 323
I Lay Down 26 736 | 4 422
Back in the Day 25 291 | 4 316

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 29th December 2022, 08:39 PM

I guess I Lay Down and Back In The Day being the final two tracks on the album might be what has them drifting apart from the others.

Happy to see Summer Of 99 doing well though.

I also think they're the type of tracks that just don't do well on streaming unless a huge push - same with Metal Heart / Beat Is Gone.

Yeah I think you’re right. It’s a shame as I like them both a lot.

Posted by: tommie 29th December 2022, 08:55 PM

I think the biggest surprise is that Victory seems to slump a bit - it's early days still, but No Regrets, Today and I'm Alright doing slightly better isn't great for it.

Posted by: Sacred3 30th December 2022, 06:18 AM

No surprise Summer of doing well. People tend to like a banger. No surprise I lay down is low. I like the track but at
Times it’s boring

iTunes Australia:

78 - Back To Life
109 - Breathe Me

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 30th December 2022, 11:02 PM

Deluxe Edition of The Lost Tapes is at #143 on iTunes Australia.

Posted by: tommie 31st December 2022, 10:44 AM

Back to Life, Breathe Me and Only You are currently occupying the 21-23 spots on UK iTunes. Hopefully they can get higher so The Lost Tapes get a bit more exposure that way.

ETA: Deluxe edition up to #6 on iTunes, regular down to #23.

Posted by: tommie 31st December 2022, 11:52 AM

Deluxe up to #2 on iTunes!!!

Posted by: tommie 31st December 2022, 06:26 PM

Today, thanks to random playlistings, have run away and got 23 000 streams yesterday. It's now been streamed 63.8k times. Closest (besides Flatline) is Summer of '99 at 59.2k.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 31st December 2022, 07:39 PM

I feel like with a bit of push or playlist support Summer Of 99 would do decently with streams.

Posted by: Silas 31st December 2022, 07:40 PM

Great for Today!!!

Posted by: Zárate 31st December 2022, 08:11 PM

So after its first full week on Spotify the Sugababes gained 634,523 streams with 'The Lost Tapes'! Not too bad! And it will defo cross 1m after the next week, with the three new tracks and a slight support of Today for NMF.

1 Flatline 64808
2 Today 63843
3 Summer of '99 59247
4 Drum 58517
5 Boys 56957
6 Love Me Hard 54798
7 No Regrets 46012
8 Metal Heart 42874
9 Beat Is Gone 40395
10 I'm Alright 39404
11 Victory 38852
12 I Lay Down 35157
13 Back in the Day 33659

My prediction is that everything is easily gonna pass 100,000 streams pretty soon, most of the tracks will do so within January. I'm very happy with the outcome, and especially all of the profits go to the girls themselves, so they can build on that / make up for all of the expenses probably involved with gaining all of the rights for using the tracks.

Yesterday was their second biggest day with 96k streams added, mainly thanks to 'Today' of course.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 31st December 2022, 08:19 PM

That’s pretty good. I think Flatline, Today and Summer Of 99 will pass 100k in the next week or so.

Looks fairly consistent over the last couple of days which is nice

Posted by: perrobueno 1st January 2023, 08:38 PM

Another good day for 'Today', not up to 80k! Overall 97k streams for yesterday, that's with the new tracks, and this is how everything fared yesterday:

1 Today 16233
2 Summer of '99 8354
3 Flatline 7771
4 Drum 7746
5 Boys 6769
6 Love Me Hard 6729
7 No Regrets 5279
8 Metal Heart 4700
9 Only You 4511
10 I'm Alright 4425
11 Breathe Me 4347
12 Back to Life 4338
13 Victory 4301
14 Beat Is Gone 4292
15 I Lay Down 3715
16 Back in the Day 3696

Also curious that 'Summer' is now above 'Flatline' and would have been higher than 'Today' if it wasn't for a playlists boost!

Out of the new tracks 'Only You' fared the best right from the start, despite being the last track. But the new tracks will have a long way to reach a nice milestone.

Posted by: Silas 1st January 2023, 08:50 PM

It’s looking great! Should see today hit 100k fairly soon at this rate



Totals for 2022:



Posted by: tommie 2nd January 2023, 08:41 AM

It's a shame NMFUK didn't update this week since Today would've likely made it on it. I'm not sure if they'll add it when they update again sadly, which is a shame because just being added in some smaller territories clearly helped it.

A small thing, I did see that their artist recommends thing still suggests the regular edition of The Lost Tapes rather than the deluxe edition.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 2nd January 2023, 09:01 AM

I don’t think this was added to any Australian ones either sadly.

Posted by: perrobueno 4th January 2023, 08:30 PM

'Today' had its second biggest streams gain since NMF! up 18k to 124.7k. Could it be playlisted elsewhere, or it's still the effect of NMF?
All of the deluxe tracks are above 10k now.

Also they're gaining hard on monthly listeners. The other day I checked, it was on 2.7m something listeners, now they're on 2,837,994!

Posted by: Silas 4th January 2023, 08:47 PM

Also 'Today' is added to 'All New All Now' playlist, made of 532k followers! +18k more yesterday. The rest is slowly declining in daily streams, but that was expected. Still very healthy figures, with several tracks about to cross the 100,000 mark within days!

Hopefully the exposure will mean at least some new people will check out the album, even if I figure it'll be mostly passive streams (unfortunately, but that's how it works these days...).

Posted by: perrobueno 5th January 2023, 06:32 PM

Tbh I'd love to see the engagement stats! Like how many people "liked" the track, how many people went to the album, and then how many listened to the other tracks... Shouldn't be many, but there should be some! But given they got added to a fairly big playlist with no promo or label support must mean, the engagement must be at very least fairly good?!

Also by my calculations, the album made its first million streams since the release! (not counting the pre-release figures of 'Flatline'). I expected it to take a bit longer, but thanks to 'Today's playlisting we're already there!

Posted by: tommie 5th January 2023, 06:46 PM

If they're being added to NMF Aus/NZ then I figure there's a big chance that Today will be on the UK list which will give it a big boost for the coming week! Really good.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 5th January 2023, 10:23 PM

Yeah considering it's got no label backing, radio support etc. It's amazing it's playlisted.

I'm not expecting anything chart wise but if it can draw some old fans back or ring in some new fans then it's a great result.

Wow w00t.gif That's fab! Probably helped by the fact there's not much new stuff out there. I bet a lot of people using this playlist have no idea about the comeback / new material so hopefully it will lead to some more overall interest in The Lost Tapes.

It updates circa 7:30PM GMT. Today currently has 161 428 spins, I believe it was around 142k yesterday, so almost 20k in a day! It should get its biggest update yet tomorrow with the NMF Friday playlisting.

Summer of '99 is at 98.9k plays, with Drum at 94.9k and Boys at 90.3k - obviously all will be over 100k by the end of the weekend, possibly Love Me Hard (87.6k) too. All regular edition tracks are now over 50k (with Back in the Day as the lowest at 51.9k).

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 6th January 2023, 08:08 PM

Thanks.

So Today is a chance to pass 200k soon then I’m guessing. Also Summer of 99 should get there in the next day or so to which is great. Just a shame that Back In The Day is last of the regular tracks. But being the album closer has probably played a part in that.

Posted by: perrobueno 6th January 2023, 08:11 PM

Yesterday 'Today' did 18,713 plays! Second best day yet. Will be beaten tomorrow most probably. I didn't do an update, as there's nothing significant there.
'Summer of '99' and maybe 'Drum' should cross 100k tomorrow! I think 'Today' has a strong chance to cross 200k tomorrow too.

I think the real positive part is that Drum suddenly surpassed Summer of '99 again - which probably means that people who heard Today on the NMF playlist did go to The Lost Tapes.

So some nerdy stats!
Friday to Thursday the tracks grew by 48%, excluding 'Today' it was 37%.
On Friday 30th Dec to Thursday 29th Dec the tracks grew by 25%, excluding 'Today' it was 3%.
To make the most clear picture we need to compare the next Friday to the next Thursday, but yeah - it very seems like NMF had a very healthy effect on the album overall!

And finally, I ranged the tracks by the biggest growth in plays from Friday 06.01 to Thursday 05.01 and got a huge surprise from 'Breathe Me'! And 'Summer' for some reason one of the least effects, despite being one of the earlier tracks. Will be very curious to look at the today's (no pun intended) stats.

1 Drum 11830 114%
2 Breathe Me 3399 107%
3 Today 34179 83%
4 I'm Alright 5568 67%
5 Only You 2160 38%
6 Boys 6808 31%
7 Back to Life 2332 30%
8 I Lay Down 3206 25%
9 Flatline 7012 24%
10 Back in the Day 3280 22%
11 Love Me Hard 6059 21%
12 Victory 3709 21%
13 Metal Heart 3961 18%
14 Beat Is Gone 3674 16%
15 Summer of '99 6686 15%
16 No Regrets 4499 14%

And what is even weirder to me is that 'Today' from NMF is from the standard, not deluxe, edition. Nevertheless, the deluxe tracks got a very healthy boost in streams.

I love all these kind of updates and stats, thanks so much wub.gif

Boys and Love Me Hard will probably hit the 100k mark today, which means we have six songs over 100k. In the grand scheme of things it's obviously not "massive" but I am still quite impressed how well they seem to be doing on streaming with this record.

Posted by: perrobueno 15th January 2023, 05:50 AM

Week 3 results!

As tommie pointed out, 'Today' is above 300k now, and 'No Regrets' joined the 6 figures club from Friday's plays, which makes the majority of tracks from the original edition making there already.
Next in line are 'Metal Heart' and 'I'm Alright', which should make it there until the end of 4th week of album's availability.

Overall week 3 brought 'The Lost Tapes' 480k spins, down from 577k (-17%). Pretty steady, but since next week the New Music Friday effect will have faded away completely.

Weekly plays (sorted by wk3 plays)

Track | w2 | w3 | Change
Today | 131 764 | 123 412 | -6%
Drum | 48 238 | 43 486 | -10%
Summer of '99 | 46 422 | 41 217 | -11%
Flatline | 44 374 | 35 944 | -19%
Boys | 40 196 | 33 845 | -16%
Love Me Hard | 38 885 | 33 688 | -13%
No Regrets | 30 202 | 24 656 | -18%
I'm Alright | 27 455 | 19 733 | -28%
Metal Heart | 26 403 | 19 304 | -27%
Victory | 24 562 | 18 353 | -25%
Beat Is Gone | 24 642 | 18 021 | -27%
Back in the Day | 21 568 | 16 583 | -23%
I Lay Down | 21 301 | 15 810 | -26%
Breathe Me | 17 204 | 13 852 | -19%
Back to Life | 16 960 | 11 304 | -33%
Only You | 16 454 | 10 346 | -37%

'Drum' became the second steadiest track behind 'Today' now, which is still propelled nicely by playlisting.
'I Lay Down' became the slowest track of the standard edition (to my great shame!), and 'Only You' now slid to the last position overall. 'Breathe Me' is now the healthiest deluxe track and it falls even slower than many of the standard edition songs!

By the end of January I expect the first 11 tracks of 'The Lost Tapes' to cross 100k, 'Drum' and 'Summer' should sail through 200k and if the playlisting doesn't stop - 'Today' for 500k. I think now 1m is not out of sight for 'Today', which would be very nice for this single that never happened. In slightly worse news, it will not be enough to trouble the top-5 fastest streamed Sugababes tracks: 'Today' is streamed slightly more than 'Overload' so far, but is behind 'Hole in the Head' and everything above it.

The Lost Tapes is slowly climbing the iTunes chart again, currently at #54. Presumably because the R2 exposure.

ETA: #34 now.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 17th January 2023, 05:17 PM

I know sales are minimal and it’s probably like 15 people, but still it’s 15 people that hadn’t purchased the album previously.

No Regrets quietly passed the 100k mark and is now at 105k streams on Spotify! Metal Heart (92.2k) seems next in line, with I'm Alright (90.8k) close behind.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 17th January 2023, 06:54 PM

Yay for No Regrets!! Loved that song since I first saw the YouTube video of it almost 10 years ago!

Metal Heart and I’m Alright being so close is great too.

Should we start seeing if Radio 2’s album of the week has had any impact? Though it’ll be tiny if any.

Posted by: perrobueno 22nd January 2023, 01:48 AM

^ I don't see any effect to be honest! If anything, the album had a very significant drop in streams from wk3 to wk4. It is down 34% week on week from 480k streams to 319k.
BUT yesterday we had 'I'm Alright' and 'Metal Heart' crossing 100k!

From the standard edition we only don't have 'Beat is Gone' (95k), 'Victory' (94k), 'I Lay Down' (83k) and 'Back in the Day' (83k) in the 100k mark yet. The former two will have made it in a week, the latter two - in early February.

This is how the tracks fared from wk3 to wk4.

Today | 123 412 | 69 134 | -44%
Drum | 43 486 | 30 532 | -30%
Flatline | 35 944 | 27 022 | -25%
Boys | 33 845 | 25 875 | -24%
Love Me Hard | 33 688 | 25 346 | -25%
Summer of '99 | 41 217 | 25 273 | -39%
No Regrets | 24 656 | 17 571 | -29%
I'm Alright | 19 733 | 15 288 | -23%
Metal Heart | 19 304 | 12 744 | -34%
Victory | 18 353 | 12 315 | -33%
Beat Is Gone | 18 021 | 12 208 | -32%
Back in the Day | 16 583 | 11 179 | -33%
I Lay Down | 15 810 | 10 380 | -34%
Breathe Me | 13 852 | 8 794 | -37%
Back to Life | 11 304 | 8 143 | -28%
Only You | 10 346 | 7 068 | -32%

The biggest faller is 'Today' but it is still gaining nicely. The most stable tracks are 'I'm Alright' and 'Boys'. In fact, 'I'm Alright' overtook 'Metal Heart' in total streams. Also 'Back in the Day' is now being streamed faster than 'I Lay Down' and has also overtook it in total streams.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 22nd January 2023, 02:15 AM

^^ Thanks. I’m guessing Today’s drop is a result of being removed from playlists.

It’s all still doing decently though.

The Lost Tapes: one month later

There has been exactly one month since the release of 'The Lost Tapes', which was purposedly made contradictory to all of the general marketing strategies as a gift to fans. And I could say it served very well!

These are the current total streams of the songs:

Drum 189 812
Flatline 1 656 854 (+181 465)
Love Me Hard 159 931
Summer of '99 180 845
Boys 165 012
Metal Heart 105 150
Beat Is Gone 99 043
No Regrets 124 833
Today 407 610
Victory 98 045
I'm Alright 106 715
I Lay Down 85 886
Back in the Day 86 686
Back to Life 39 295
Breathe Me 42 742
Only You 36 462

Overall the album has 3 584 921 streams, of which it gained 2 109 532 (minus the pre-release 'Flatline' streams).
Most of the tracks are already safely above 100 000 streams, with 'Beat is Gone' getting there today and 'Victory' getting there tomorrow.
Sugababes have 3 099 607 monthly listeners now (which is going to fall since now), so I assume this is their peak in this 'era'.

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 25th January 2023, 06:40 AM

That’s pretty decent. Another two should cross that mark this week.

Sadly it looks like the deluxe tracks are probably 3-4 months off.

Posted by: tommie 10th February 2023, 06:07 AM

Today has entered at #200 on Shazam. Well, it's something at least lol.

Posted by: perrobueno 10th February 2023, 07:59 PM

All of the tracks from standard edition of 'The Lost Tapes' are now above 100k on Spofity! And 'Today' is now above 500k. Should easily cross 1m mark sooner or later.

Do we know how far off the three deluxe tracks are from 100k?

Posted by: perrobueno 10th February 2023, 08:35 PM

50k more give or take, so a while to go

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 10th February 2023, 08:38 PM

Ah cool, thanks. So still a good few months.

Posted by: tommie 11th February 2023, 06:56 AM

Today at #171 on Shazam. At least it's doing something I guess.

Posted by: Silas 11th February 2023, 02:35 PM

Not bad numbers from this era! It’s great to see them stay above 3m monthly listeners for a while and hopefully as they take their festival set international this summer they should start rebuilding the international audience too


Really need them to come to Germany though. 1.0 was bigger here than in the UK

Posted by: tommie 12th February 2023, 09:05 AM

Today up to #159 on Shazam, The Lost Tapes back at #168 on iTunes. Hey, a sold copy is a sold copy!

Posted by: tommie 12th February 2023, 06:33 PM

While I'll never keep track of minor countries (because it's usually one literal sale), it's amusing when you see really random tracks suddenly charting - someone in Denmark has bought Gotta Be You, Bruised and Maya (!). That's quite a combo of songs!

Amazing to see Back In The Fay chatting like that.

I was kind of expecting Freak Like Me to be the one to chart on iTunes.

I think since Back in the Day is the #1 track on the EP, it's what counts towards the singles chart.

It's down to #9, but amazing that it could at least briefly peak at #8 since it's something they just dropped midweek with no fanfare.
