this Ava Max song is clearly going to be another proper hit for her I think. the Great British public do love a heavy sample.

I've finally given it a listen and it could end up being my fave of hers.

 

A lot of streamers who are generally a younger audience than for iTunes I would say would be too young to remember the ATC song it samples though!

the original was a TikTok hit in the last year which I've seen plenty so I think they'll be very familiar with the melody! I knew this was inevitable, come on Ava!

Ava has actually risen a LOT on Apple today, must have been added to some new playlists I guess!

 

(either that or Jonjo sent Apple a threatening message :basil: x)

Me to Apple:

 

Top 200 bar on Spotify is 6k higher than week ago. Good to see!

Olivia now 29 on Apple Music! This is climbing so quick 😍

There's been a lot of discussion about Spotify numbers being lower than usual - do we know the figures that Apple/Amazon etc are getting? I think it was mentioned briefly, but I genuinely think loads of people have switched to the others because they were giving away amazing free trials (for 3 or 4 months)! If numbers are down on those then it's probably a fair assumption that streaming is down but I honestly think the lower numbers on Spotify are being made up by the other services!

A quick look at the sales for the official chart top 10 this week is enough confirmation that streams are actually down overall (for the top hits) and it's not just people switching to other services :P (if anything they'd be getting even higher if it were just people switching, since other services have a higher / 100% proportion of streams counting at the premium tier).

 

Obviously it's very possible that Spotify is also losing market share but there's no getting around that streams for current big hits really are just unusually low at the moment. This is the case in the US as well I believe (the numbers for the overall streaming chart, not just Spotify, are heading for record lows).

 

I wish the other streaming services would provide actual numbers or even any indication of relative popularity of songs but they don't sadly ~

Shocked that Ava song hasn't already been a massive hit, its incredible.

On Spotify, I don't see how it would lose it's share? It's so superior in every was and there is no real competition

For my own listening habits I actually prefer Tidal :magic: I have subscribed to Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal over the past year so feel like I have a good understanding how each works. Tidal for me has better mastered sound quality and many different versions of the same albums which helps with my last.fm scrobbling needs to.

 

I think many Spotify users disregard the other services (not saying you have done this because you may have also subscribed to the others in the past) - and I was guilty of this before I actually experimented with different services!

If one uses Apple's phones, why wouldn't one use Apple Music too, just a thought... I think all these are pretty even as far as the user experience goes. Also, Amazon seems to be growing the fastest?

Perhaps so and to be fair I have not used tidal. I tried Apple Music but just did not get on with it. YouTube music is a bit messy but not bad and I don't like Amazons interface. Perhaps I will try tidal for the sound quality.

 

Apple sales are dwindling and more people have androids however I'm surprised Apple Music dont have a bigger share as a lot of kids have iPhones.

Amazon 199

it will be interesting to see who grabs the #1 this Friday, so far everybody's doing very similar figures on Spotify

maybe Ed thanks to his downloads? I've noticed he's 59p on iTunes and and has quite the lead over the other contenders...

I predict it'll be Bieber considering he was pretty close behind Ed last week and this week he's starting from a much stronger position. May still be close though. (There's a decent chance Little Mix could just do it again)

Little Mix actually made it by quite a big margin last week so I think they’re starting as the front runners. I had thought Justin but he seems to have levelled off a bit.
