Thought I'd ask the question, with the streaming issue now very relevant.

It would surely depend on how much I liked the song. If I really liked it then I'd probably listen to it 2 or 3 times in a row and would probably account for 15+ listens in a week.
It really really depends. I've been known to hear a song 200+ times in a week (e.g. Taylor Swift's We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together). A recent example though would be Leah McFall's Home, which I've heard 33 times since Thursday.

it depends on how much I like the song. My favourite songs of the moment generally get around 4 to 7 plays in a week. Possibly more if they're really good (Kiesza's 'Giant In My Heart' has had 8 plays over the past week according to my last.fm for example)

 

Which means I'll be contributing around 0.05th of a sale per week for a new song. Unless I decide to start "chart manipulating" by playing 30 seconds of a song 10 times per day. Which I probably won't be bothered to do except for my absolute favourites.

It also depends on the artist of the song for me. If it's one of my favourite artists, say Rihanna for example, then I'll probably listen to the song a good 20 or 30 times in the first week.
If I really like a new single, the most times I'd play it in a week would be about 20-25 plays but usually I'd play a song no more than 15 times a week.
I can easily listen to a song 40 odd times in a row if i like it :lol: So, in a week, alot.

How on earth did you do that?! :o That's like 30 plays a day, which would take up over an hour and half, and that seems a lot in this particular case.

 

I don't think I could even do that for a new Kylie single! :P

Depends. In some extreme cases like Euphoria by Loreen (off the top of my head) I can manage something like 60-70 in a week, I had Judas by Lady Gaga on repeat for like 3 hours when it came out :lol: I've managed 31 for Ed Sheeran - Don't in just over a week, if I really like the song it can get a lot of plays.

 

My plays won't really affect streaming though, I do use Spotify but by the time songs are actually released I'm past my mass listening unless they're OA/OS.

I did 100 a day for 2 days straight :lol: (and then barely listened for the rest of the week LOL). But it was because I had it on in my room while tidying and never changed the track, so it was literally on all day!

i generally listen to my favorite tracks of the week 4-12 times, but can listen anywhere up to ~20 if something really grabs me to loon over

Legit do not understand how people can listen to one song so much. My most played is only 146 plays and that is over the course of two years. A week I would say maybe 10 plays tops.

Your room musta been a right pigsty :lol:

I was just about to make a similar comment! :kink:

 

Wow 100 plays in a day is impressive! Especially since 'We Are Never...' seems the type of song that would get annoying after a few listens!

In my case, I'd usually listen to them one or twice when first on my iPod, then I'd set it to shuffle so might not heard it again for a while.

:lol: It actually wasn't, I was just sorting through everything so it took a little longer than "shove everything in the wardrobe" :kink: (lol at how this has turned into a documentary about my room-tidying in August 2012)

 

I'm one of those people who can just easily put a song on repeat and enjoy it just as much each time. If a song's that good, it won't get boring, IMO.

I like some songs so I listen to them a lot, some songs are okay and I listen to them sometimes and songs I do not like I do not listen to
