Shockingly low numbers on the Spotify chart today, Blinding Lights only doing 197,465 at #1...

Edited January 2, 20214 yr by ts7sfkptm

Why are people surprised streams are so low, what new exciting music is there to stream thanks to Christmas songs invading the charts for 5 weeks and no one wanting to compete against them.

^don't start again, you don't need to ruin every thread in this forum

there are plenty of new songs if people wanna stream new stuff, new Ed, new Bieber, Kylie and Dua, Taylor's album etc etc etc

Kylie's album has been out 2 months and this is just a remix. It is clear Taylor doesn't care or hasn't tried to compete with the Christmas songs singles wise and just wants to sell albums with this era.

 

Ed has thrown out a song, it got lost in the Christmas rush and it's really struggling to recover from that by his standards.

 

All very exciting.

Amazing climb for SZA! Really hope this is a hit for her :wub:

There's a LOT happening in this January, trust me

 

Do you have some tea or just speculating?

Any clues? apart from Drake?

 

I just assume, considering last year we got Selena, Halsey, Eminem, Mac Miller, Lil Wayne...

 

I don't think artists tell months ahead that they are releasing. January/February are THE months to release if one wants to maximise year end streams so record companies are definitely going to take advantage of it.

shocking debut form bieber

 

looks like we could have a four way battle for #1 this week

If only a major artist could take advantage of the lack of competition and drop new music. Surely Adele is due to release soon. 2015 seems like a lifetime ago. :lol: Even better would be new RiRi but I won't hold my breath. :lol: Even Beyonce who usually releases an album every two-and-a-half years has left it nearly 5 years... :o

^lol Taylor just literally dropped Evermore and Ed just dropped a new single

I do indeed have 10 on amazon for you good news little mix

thanks for the update, looks like L Mix could be this week's #1 if Alexa keeps helping

We're in a pandemic. Why are people so shocked that streams are so low? :lol: They were low all Summer, but the difference there is that people were having BBQ's & days in the sun etc.. so they at least looked somewhat healthy. People (unlike us on a forum) aren't going to want to be listening to Spotify all day :lol: plus tie that into the fact that Alexa's/Echo Dots were probably another big present buy so maybe Amazon is the current highest market for music atm?

 

The thing that really strikes this home is Bieber's shocking numbers. I mean, the #1 is looking likely to do 30k-ish, how is he not debuting with 40k+ with a song that's been far better received than his latest output? It'll be because people probably aren't bothered by listening to music atm.

 

That's how I'm seeing it anyway. (I'm not saying what I've said is right ofc)

^lol Taylor just literally dropped Evermore and Ed just dropped a new single

 

It was Taylor's 2nd album of the year, its hardly like anyone was gagging for more new music. It's not even #1 when 10k sales would do it and it's on sale.

 

It isn't really comparable to the 1st new music from Adele or Rihanna in half a decade.

Is 'evermore' on sale? It's not in HMV and I haven't really delved anywhere else, so idk.

It's £7.99 on HMV online I'm assuming that is on sale given it was only released physically 2 weeks ago and must have been 9.99 or 10.99 like all new cds.

I know he isn’t at peak popularity now but I also expect a bit better for bieber considering the low numbers needed to peak high currently. I am sure he will climb over the next few weeks still as more awareness of the track picks up but really shows the lack of interest there is right now for new music (outside of chart fans like us)
