January 30, 201312 yr But a massive proportion of the public now stream their music for payment rather than buying individual downloads. Surely it should be a representative chart? A massive proportion? 1%? 2%?
January 30, 201312 yr Just out of interest, are there (m)any other streaming services available other than Spotify?
January 30, 201312 yr Im not sure of the exact figure but i think streamings' % has increased alot in the past 2 years!
January 30, 201312 yr Surprised to see that I Knew You Were Trouble is nowhere to be seen on this chart!
January 30, 201312 yr Just out of interest, are there (m)any other streaming services available other than Spotify? I'm currently using Deezer... I've trialled 'rdio' and there's 'we7' as well I think.. :rolleyes: Edited January 30, 201312 yr by seanster

February 12, 201312 yr Ridiculous how Big Machine (Taylors label) and Def Jam (Rihannas label) have refused to put the albums up on spotify, apparently to try and capitalise on sales. I don't see the problem in only putting the singles up. Jeez :wacko:
February 12, 201312 yr Author Yeah, I think the labels would benefit massively if they put "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "Stay" up for streaming. I understand them holding back the streaming release date of the albums to try and attract more sales, but it's ridiculous that 2 massive chart hits are nowhere to be seen in the Top 100 Streaming tracks, I'm sure both would be top 10 if they were available on sites such as Spotify.

February 20, 201312 yr Shocked to see Avicii so low, does noone stream dance music, or is it not available on Spotify or something?
February 20, 201312 yr Author Shocked to see Avicii so low, does noone stream dance music, or is it not available on Spotify or something? A #23 debut isn't bad, many songs in the streaming chart start low and climb their way up the chart. Some dance music (basically anything released on Ministry of Sound) isn't available on Spotify, a recent example being Bingo Players feat. Far East Movement "Get Up (Rattle)". Avicii should be top 20 next week, as right now it is #17 on the Spotify chart.

And on a personal note, AVICII #2 :wub: :yahoo: :cheer:
February 26, 201312 yr I might have asked this a few months back but why isn't 'Skyfall' by Adele available on these streaming sites? Also do longer tracks have a disadvantage over shorter songs? Ie; 'Harlem Shake' is 3:16, streaming this track twice still takes up less time than listening to 'Mirrors' once as it's 8:04 in length. Just a thought.
February 26, 201312 yr Author I might have asked this a few months back but why isn't 'Skyfall' by Adele available on these streaming sites? I don't know - most likely that Adele's record label doesn't want it up for streaming so that it sells more. If I remember correctly, her album "21" wasn't up for streaming until a few months ago when its sales had died out. Maybe Rihanna and Taylor's record labels will finally put up their newest albums this summer. Hopefully soon these record companies realises the benefits of streaming, and how much royalties they could be earning from people who are not willing to pay for an individual download but use Spotify regularly. The songs are available to stream on YouTube, so I think they should also be available on streaming sites like Spotify and Deezer. Maybe, with Billboard's new rules about how streaming affects their chart - record labels will make an effort for their songs to be streamed a lot. Did "I Knew You Were Trouble" go to #1 on Billboard? Maybe it would've done if people who paid money to use a streaming service could actually listen to it on the service.
February 26, 201312 yr Streaming has already been in the charts for a year now, and the record labels are still not putting certain albums on there now. I think they're less likely to now since Youtube is being included, as it's out-weighing the rest of the smaller streaming sites, meaning it's not such a big deal anymore if a song isn't being streamed on there. For example, Rihanna's songs Stay, Pour It Up and Loveeeeeee Song, which aren't available on Spotify, had massive jumps up the chart now, because their Youtube streaming brings them up to levels similar to the songs which are on Spotify, etc.
