Hi ManicKangaroo, as I'm quite new to all this, I wondered where you get your chart data to tell you it's at 14 already.

 

I'm trying to learn to follow the live charts.

 

Thank you

HOTTER THAN HELL IS 59P THE LABEL LISTENED!!! COMING FOR #1!!! (But as long as Radio 1 don't drop it tomorrow I think it could challenge for iTunes top 10 next week)

From Itunes itself, or LivePopBars using the link in the opening post in the thread

11. The Stone Roses - Beautiful Thing

 

602. The Veronicas - In My Blood

So what I've come to learn in the past few hours about live chart statistics is that there are various platforms to view live data and I believe I've got this right;

 

LivePopBars shows live iTunes chart positions but no statistics on streaming vs purchases. It also shows the daily Spotify chart for most streamed songs, and the statistics are provided direct from spotifycharts.com.

 

Kworb seems to go into more detail for a wide array of charts, but I'm struggling to understand the data (what the colours mean and the numbers).

 

How exactly does DigitalSalesData.com work? I'm unsure again what those statistics refer to?

 

If someone could please help me to understand how best to use these resources, I'll be more than content to monitor the charts each week.

 

Thanks

Andrew

Hi Andrew!

 

The colours on Kworb denote recent performance, for example-

-Dark green - performed very well in the last 2 hours

-Light green - performed above average

-White - average

-Light red - slightly decreasing in performance

-Dark red - bad performance in the last two hours

 

And the numbers refer to how much (in percentage) the song horizontal to it is selling compared to the number one (which always sells 1.0000). For example, if a song is at 0.8438, it means it's selling 84.38% of what the number one is selling.

 

DigitalSalesData is an estimated statistical model of what a song has been selling on iTunes in the last 24 hours, based on sales estimates and percentages given by Kworb.

 

If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask! :D

Kylie has also released her cover of Wheels on Fire (Ab Fab theme song for the movie) today.
