Spotify FAQs

 

What is streaming? What are the chart rules regarding streaming?

 

For streaming and chart rules related FAQs read this thread.

 

How do I see today's Spotify chart?

 

To see the daily top 50 update on desktop, log in to Spotify, click 'Browse', then click 'Charts', then click 'United Kingdom Top 50', or click the link below. The desktop top 50 may update before anything else so is always worth checking if the website is not up to date. However recently it has been known to not to do (even when the website has), so do check all sources. Also note that the Spotify Website will update before external websites (Kworb, LivePopBars). Occasionally there will be a delay in the Spotify chart updating which could even take days.

 

Useful web links:

 

Spotify App [top 50]

Spotify Website [top 200]

Kworb [top 200 and extra data]

LivePopBars [top 200]

SponOnTrack [top 200]

 

Hot playlist links:

 

 

How often does the chart update?

 

It should update once every day, usually in the early afternoon - although this is not 100% guaranteed. Sometimes the top 200 on the website will update but without the top 50 on the app updating, and sometimes there will be no update at all.

 

How many plays on Spotify equals one download sale?

 

100 plays if you are on Spotify Premium, or 600 if you are using the ad-supported free tier. However you cannot simply play a song that many times in one day to give it one sale, you are limited to 10 plays per day in terms of what counts to the chart. (Spotify will let you play a song on repeat 600 times if you really want to).

 

The number changes to 200 or 1200 plays when a song moves to ACR. For more information on the rules of ACR see this thread. For information on what songs are currently on ACR and what songs will be moving to ACR, refer to this thread.

 

How much does Spotify contribute to the chart?

 

Streaming contributes over 90% to the singles chart as a whole, although the #1 still can be decided by who has better paid-for sales. Spotify counts for a good chunk of streaming sales (although it appears to be losing some market share as Apple Music and Amazon Music gain in popularity), so doing well on Spotify is essential for doing well in the chart.

 

Why is my fave not doing well on Spotify?

 

Is it being promoted on one of Spotify's major curated playlists? If it isn't, it's unlikely to really take off! Hot Hits UK is the biggest of these playlists, with over a million followers. The playlist usually updates itself to include breaking hits once or twice a week, though there is no guarantee that your fave will get a place on the playlist. Also, the UK Top 50 is a largely followed playlist and that songs often experience a 'top 50 effect', when they enter the top 50 and get the additional exposure of being on the playlist.

 

Often sales hits don't cross over to being streaming hits, this is usually the case for songs with an older target audience, reality or campaign songs. Also keep in mind that it often takes longer for a song to take off on Spotify than it would on iTunes.

 

My fave didn't debut high and is falling already, does this mean they're flopping?

 

Not necessarily. Most songs debut relatively low as they aren't instantly well-known, and experience a sharp decline on Day 2 as they no longer have the promoted 'New Music Friday' effect. A lot of songs manage to recover through gaining popularity and additions to playlists. Exceptions to the rule of course come from massively hyped artists/releases such as Justin Bieber/Ed Sheeran/Drake who will of course enter straight at the top.

 

What do the numbers mean?

 

The streaming figures cited in the daily chart are the number of streams each song received the previous day. Unlike the iTunes chart, Spotify is not a rolling chart so the numbers will only change once per day.

Three Lions has held up much better than usual on Apple, still at #5, usually drops a lot after match day. Expecting to see another strong day on Spotify in tomorrow’s update
Three Lions has held up much better than usual on Apple, still at #5, usually drops a lot after match day. Expecting to see another strong day on Spotify in tomorrow’s update

It’s down to #12 now on Apple. Will probably fade a bit on there until Saturday then pick up again.

on Apple:

7 Becky Hill & Guetta

11 Black Magic

31 James Arthur - September (didn't realise this was so high)

 

on Amazon, Black Magic is now #31,Becky top 40 too there...

 

 

#36 Remember

#37 Our Song

:wub:

 

3 Lions down to #9

Black Magic Top 50

 

#1 Olivia 655.7k

#2 Ed 642.3k

 

Maneskin #3 & #4

 

:o

'Three Lions' holding up well staying in the top 10 - it dropped 1-8 the day after the quarter-final in 2018 (and then 1-52 the day after the semi-final, not shockingly xx).

 

Ed breaking the 600k barrier for the first time, will he manage to get a day at #1 before the end of his first week...

Most impressed at Black Magic going top 50 without any playlist support!
Looks like it could be a very slow burner future top 10 hit, especially if Spotify finally decide to add it to some playlists.

It's not a bad dance song, I know it's not the most original or innovative, but at least it's not a silly dance cover/relies on a sample etc
Tbf I've only heard it once but it sounded like the kind of song that would get quite annoying pretty quickly.

Brent Faiyaz and Drake dropped a collab today, in at #67 on Apple Music so far. Hope the Drake stimulus package is enough to give Brent a first UK top 40 hit.

 

(It took me a moment to process that 'Brent Faiyaz - Wasting Time (feat. Drake)' was not the same song as 'Bryson Tiller - Outta Time (feat. Drake)' from last year :kink:)

Quite quiet for new releases today, wouldn’t be surprised if there weren’t any new entries next week lol. Great to see black magic added to HH, big hit incoming :yahoo:
