April 9, 20205 yr I’d understand an increase like that if it was to do with the album. I doubt tiktok is the reason The song is literally EVERYWHERE because of that, in an ubiquitous way it wasn't previously. Edited April 9, 20205 yr by Tawdry Hepburn
April 9, 20205 yr All songs are doing like 50K daily more than last week on Spotify not sure why not just Blinding Light, everybody else too
April 9, 20205 yr All songs are doing like 50K daily more than last week on Spotify not sure why not just Blinding Light, everybody else too We've just had a few days of really nice weather, presumably it's encouraging people to stick playlists on?
April 9, 20205 yr But not sure Blinding Lights climbing is a Tik Tok effect, don't think so cos as said above all songs are doing much more than last week on Spotify, not just Blinding Lights, even songs that have been around long like Dance Monkey or Lonely moreover, Tik Tok effects are usually global and in the US Spotify Blinding Lights has been doing worst than the previous week
April 9, 20205 yr Just realised Scott Mills is going to play Nathan Dawe again with that dreadful cover version of Flowers :drama: not cool Not Scott mills tomorrow is Kate and cel who do Sunday update is done Friday chart should be more song play this week as Bank holiday Friday and no news beat
April 10, 20205 yr So many albums these days only selling on debut week. The album charts have literally turned into how the singles charts were years ago when physicals were still a thing. Everything is focused on week 1 and it seems anything after that is a bonus. I feel now with album build up and tracks released for streaming some albums are essentially over on week 1 - must be really disappointing for an artist that’s worked hard on producing an album to see it go 6-93-Out.

April 10, 20205 yr I think for indie artists it almost makes no sense to release the album without a physical cos it's not a fair fight Mabel and Jax Jones will get 3000 sales a week from playlists alone without a single person streaming their album Indie artists have zero songs on playlists so they really cannot compete when you need to stream an album 85 times to get 1 sale Indie artists that were doing a 3-56 run, now will do a 39-OUT run :/
April 10, 20205 yr Well it depends if they care about chart positions or not - ATL were saying to the OCC that they just wanted the album out for the fans. Their overall sales will likely be about the same once the physicals are out anyway.
April 10, 20205 yr yes but one thing is what the band says and a different thing is what the label thinks
April 10, 20205 yr With the extra efforts pulled last week (voice notes and cocktails) and the Weekend having 90 items of merch available, record companies still care about album chart positions, only for week 1.
