Everything else is either down week on week or wasn't in the top 200 last week so I can't tell how much it has increased.

Watermelon Sugar is missing. +85,000 (+11%)

However the Spotify market (top 200) is down from 218,962,228 streams last week to 156,608,119 streams this week, a fall of 28%, I'm not entirely sure on the ACR rules but I believe its not the nominal increase in streams that counts but more the increase in streams relative to the market. Say that theoretically the market has fallen by 28%, could a song have decreased by 2% and still get reset as it would've increased by 26% compared to the market?

Good point about the market and yes I think you’re right. It won’t be down by as much as 28% though as there’ll be a higher proportion of streams outside the Top 200 than there was when everyone was listening to Christmas songs.

A phresh #1 :cheeseblock:

 

A new peak for 'Mr. Brightside' :cheeseblock:

 

I do wonder if the pitiful daily numbers on Spotify are going to improve again soon or if this is just a 'new normal', slightly concerning how little numbers have bounced back after Christmas! (At the top end that is of course - I'm sure the long tail of Spotify is doing as well if not better than ever).

perhaps once we are out of tier 4 and people can commute to work again numbers will improve.

The KLF have finally put their singles up on Spotify as of 1/1/21

Blinding Lights back at #1 on Spotify, very fresh indeed! Wouldn't complain if that got a reset in the end. :wub:

yes, it's always relative to the market:

 

i) Automatic Reset – a track within the Top 100 on ACR and which is within 3 years of release can automatically return to SCR if it’s streams total increases by 25 percentage points greater than the streaming market change week on week. For example, a track with a week on week variance of +14%, in a week where market variance is -11%, would be automatically reset.

Does Blinding Lights now have the record for longest time between stints at #1 if we exclude Christmas songs?

I wouldn't complain if the track goes back to #1 after a long stint, I think that would be some sort of a record, as it be 4th time to hit #1 :D :magic:

Interesting to see the likes of Blinding Lights and Dance Monkey getting big boosts but Someone You Loved actually falling - guess it’s not such a party song.

Happy to see the "Rain On Me" rising back into the top 30! Hopefully it crosses 1 million total sales sometime this year.

 

I do hope with the market dropping considerably that it'll reset a number of songs, even if they haven't increased much/at all. I really want "Midnight Sky" to be back on SCR!

 

It's a shame we don't get figures for Apple Music/Amazon to compare.

MS was on SCR for very long compared to some even bigger hits in 2020. Rain on Me, for instance, went ACR in its 10th week already.

Don't Start Now is #7 on Apple Music :cheeseblock:
