Spotify FAQs

 

What is streaming? What are the chart rules regarding streaming?

 

For streaming and chart rules 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 web 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 approximately 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.

Mariah now #2 at Apple, Wham #4, Shakin #7, Pogues #9

ARGH KELLY NEARLY TOP 40 THIS EARLY REALLY HOPE SHE CAN REPEAK THIS YEAR

Really annoys me how Sam Smiths version of HYAMLC is the most popular due to playlists - my fav is Chris Martins!

 

I take it the Xmas songs lose streams as this week goes on?

 

Surprised Lewis has dropped back again, looks like DM will be no1 until Mariah takes the crown maybe on Xmas week and the week after? Depends on the ACR situation I guess. I'm unsure how well Stormzys tracks will do when the albums released at present.

Mariah #1 on Apple, guess he'll do it on Spotify today too

 

on Apple:

1 +5 Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You

2 -1 Tones and I - Dance Monkey

3 -1 Stormzy - Own It (feat. Ed Sheeran & Burna Boy)

4 +6 Wham! - Last Christmas

5 -2 Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go

6 +25 Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone

7 -3 Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now

8 -3 Arizona Zervas - ROXANNE

9 +23 The Pogues - Fairytale of New York

10 -2 Billie Eilish - everything i wanted

 

Shaky doing pretty impressively on Apple just behind Wham and Mariah and ahead of the Pogues.

 

Wonder what figures Mariah will do today then, maybe 500k? Can see here being 4-8 on the official chart and hang around there for 2 weeks before jumping to no1.

Today's update will be interesting, most likely going to be the most Xmas dominant chart we've ever seen this early on

almost scared for that update :D

 

I take it the Xmas songs lose streams as this week goes on?

Yeah, most likely. Had the first day of December fall on a weekend so loads putting a playlist on while setting up the Xmas tree.

 

Will probably be getting bigger weekend boosts as the day gets closer still.

Mariah will be #1 with a huge lead today I think. December 1st + Sunday is perfect for her.

surprisingly Stormzy is up to #1 on Apple, with Dance Monkey #2 and Mariah down to #3

as expected Mariah is up to #1 on Spotify with 675K with Wham at #2 with 613K

total Christmas invasion

What are those figures like compared to last year? I suppose 1st December being on a Sunday helped boost them more!

Liam Payne and Jonas Brothers repping 2019 in the Christmas chart, I suppose they've already been added to playlists then? Hopefully Mabel and Little Mix are soon to follow.

 

TikTok is back at it again too this time with Don Toliver, up 12 from yesterday despite the Christmas invasion so could get big.

by comparison 1 year ago (Dec 1, 2018) Mariah climbed to #1 with 696K sales, Ariana was #2 with Thank U Next

and Wham was #3 with 579K sales... it was a Saturday, which is a high streaming day

 

next day, Dec 2 (Sunday) Mariah fell to #2 with 586K with Wham doing 511k

What are those figures like compared to last year? I suppose 1st December being on a Sunday helped boost them more!

 

Spotify Daily Chart Update (01/12)

 

01 [04] Mariah Carey – All I Want for Christmas Is You 696,784

02 [01] Ariana Grande – thank u, next 655,453

03 [12] Wham! – Last Christmas 579,931

04 [23] Band Aid – Do They Know It's Christmas? 451,147

05 [33] Michael Bublé – It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas 438,004

06 [37] Brenda Lee – Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree 428,964

07 [28] Ariana Grande – Santa Tell Me 422,093

08 [30] The Pogues – Fairytale of New York (feat. Kirsty MacColl) 413,987

09 [66] John & Yoko – Happy Xmas (War Is Over) 307,270

10 [03] Ava Max – Sweet but Psycho 301,966

yes I posted a while ago that both Liam Payne and Jonas Brothers were on many Xmas playlists and pretty high, both are on Christmas Hits for instance

 

Little Mix and Mabel might have been released to late, cos for what I see these Xmas playlists don't update very often, I checked Christmas Hits 2 weeks ago and its the same playlist today with zero changes, so maybe it's too late now :o

Okay noticed a big jump for Britney Spears could she enter the official charts this season?
