the original or the toploader cover?

Dancing In The Moonlight is not a good song as it is not possible to dance to. Always include at weddings/cheese room things and kills the vibe completely. I've seen so many Instagram ads for this Jubel track recently like ridiculously more than any other song I've seen on there. Maybe a factor too in its rise?

I don't know if I've ever heard the original, I meant the Toploader version. x

Jubel should return the favour and release a song called "Klingande" :lol:

Didn't everybody hate the Toploader version back in the day? I know I did :D

It's literally #119 in today's Spotify chart, people clearly love it.

I don't know if I've ever heard the original, I meant the Toploader version. x

 

It's quite similar in style actually to the Toploader cover, the main difference is some different timing with the lyric flow

 

 

The Jubel cover is nice enough but rather underwhelming. It kind of confused me that they have the same artist name as the hit by Klingande a few years ago.

Apple seems to be getting more talk here again so maybe time I brought back these? Let me know if you're interested although of course because of how the chart is there won't be any numbers of [*NEW PEAK*] markings.

Thanks Dan for that. How much impact does Apple streaming have on the charts?

I actually have no idea but it's significant. Songs have gone top 100 officially on the strength of good Apple streams, the Sam Fischer track is one example that took off on Apple well before it did elsewhere.

but they're not 50-50 either cos the Friday positions are always closer to the Spotify position rather than the Apple position

 

and songs can do very well on Apple but if they do nothing on Spotify, they miss the top 40

one recent example is Juliet & Romeo, peaked at #13 on Apple a month ago, but was not doing enough on Spotify... so missed the top 40

So Apple Music is the streaming equivalent of Amazon in the download era? :lol:

Not quite, I'd say it has slightly more influence. I don't think Amazon back then was pushing songs top 100 without any good iTunes position.

 

I'd say Amazon are the streaming equivalent of themselves, except of course during Christmas. :lol:

Always thought this thread should be the general streaming thread than just Spotify. Has this been considered?

It has been but the other sites just don't attract much discussion. See also the Amazon specific thread that only got about 2 pages.

 

It's sort of been a de facto general streaming thread anyhow with a few loose Apple updates around what's mostly Spotify discussion, I wouldn't want to remove Spotify from the title of the thread however.

 

Don't think so, it might not be 50:50 but it has an important share of the market

 

I kinda think it had a bigger impact last year but it seems to have less impact now

 

I remember there was a week that Rover was already #4 on Apple but still starting to climb slowly on Spotify so there song did 21-13-13 in the charts despite being so high on Apple...

there are many other examples, Harry-Falling has had 3 different stints in the top 10 on Apple but always been lower on Spotify, so he missed the top 10 in the official charts...

this new dance song, Don't Need Love, it's been already top 10 for a while on Apple but only just made it top 50 on Spotify now, so it's only been top 40 in the official charts...

I feel like the Spotify/Apple Music/whatever it's called thread should be weekly alongside iTunes. It seems silly to have a weekly iTunes thread and a monthly Spotify thread in 2020.

I switched to AM in February and pop songs seem to always do better there, I don't know if it's better playlisting or what. Although the people I know that are really really into rap all use AM rather than Spotify so idk

I'm optimistic 'Secrets' can be a decent sized hit now. :D

on Apple, Blinding Lights is #1, DaBaby is now up to #2, with Drake down to #3

Ari/Bieber up to #5 and 6ix9ine up to#8, glad the latter seems to be stalling already

I've thought about this and the title's been modified slightly ~ hope it clears up any confusion about where Apple updates should be discussed (I did want them in iTunes but clearly they're mostly being discussed here so there we go)

Love the new title Dan. I do think the iTunes Chart Thread should be left as it is as that's primarily about the top selling songs in the country while this one is about what are the top songs being streamed currently.
