FAQs

 

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

For streaming and chart rules related FAQs read this thread.

 

How many streams 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. 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.

 

How much does streaming contribute to the chart?

Streaming contributes over 90% to the singles chart as a whole. Spotify counts for at least half of this, with Apple Music and Amazon also big contributors. YouTube is also big however most of YouTube's streams are at the free tier so won't count for as much.

 

Why is my fave not doing well?

Is it being promoted on a major curated playlist, and/or going viral on TikTok? If it isn't, it's unlikely to really take off! Hot Hits UK is the biggest of these playlists on Spotify from a UK standpoint. 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 releases, such as the recent album impacts from Drake and Taylor Swift.

 

Spotify

 

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. For the full top 200, use the link below to go to Spotify's website. You can also use the Kworb website which displays the data in an easier to read format and also contains additional information, however this is often out of date.

What are the most influential Spotify playlists?

Links to Spotify's top playlists are as below.

 

Hot Hits UK

UK Top 50

New Music Friday

Today's Top Hits

 

How often does the Spotify chart update?

It should update once every day, usually in the early afternoon - although on occasion there will be a delay.

 

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.

 

Apple Music

 

How do I see today's Apple Music chart?

You can use the link below to view the Apple Music top 100 through Kworb. If you have Apple Music, you can also view the top 200 by going to the Charts section and clicking on See All in the Top Songs section.

How is Beyoncé smashing so hard with a country song? :o

 

Thought Dua Lipa would have it in the bag this week but Texas seems to be trending upwards as opposed to downwards (which I expected).

 

Really hope Dua can snatch that #1 (although Training Season doesn’t quite hit like I expected it to) but it is very impressive for Beyoncé to be smashing like this considering how long she’s been around, I have to give all credit to her.

New Spotify numbers Beyoncé up to 2, will be close if Benson got 2nd or 3rd in the charts.

Edited by Liam sota

Beyonce up to #2 on Spotify beating Benson yay!
It's gonna be so close between Beyonce to Benson this week, shocked that she can have a number 1, and that's before the NMF boost of today. let's see!

I see ¥$ has been re-added to the credits to the Kanye stuff on Spotify.

 

Also Taylor has just started the Australian leg of her tour and has had a crazy effect on Spotify over there with Cruel Summer back to #1.

 

Don't think there'll be any resets this week, although Fast Car might not be far away, just depends if the OCC want to rectify their crime from last week

Dua Lipa chances not looking great most people talking about the song are speaking in different languages. The song is made for radio I couldn’t imagine choosing to stream it so yeah Benson vs Beyoncé it looks like, gotta go with Benson, Beyoncé would still be doing pretty well to get a #2 if she does which remains to be seen

Edited by Liam sota

I think (and hope) that Beyoncé has the momentum on her side with TEXAS HOLD ‘EM showing signs of huge growth and that’s before the NMF effect today. I think the Hive are going to push for the #1 this week!

Edited by Gerald

Really hope Beyoncé can do it she’s off to a great start, she has Apple Music and pure sales helping her overtake him too. It’s early but I think she might do it

one of the biggest artists in the world topping the charts would be a shock? :kink:

Not heard the Beyoncé song yet but she does feel long overdue another #1, crazy to think her last one was Telephone! :o

Beyoncé at #1 isn't a shock. She reached #2 with her previous lead single and used Super Bowl to launch this era.

 

Don't see Training Season on AM but she has Don't Start Now at #177

Edited by Sour Candy

Beyoncé at #1 isn't a shock. She reached #2 with her previous lead single and used Super Bowl to launch this era.

To be fair, BREAK MY SOUL was at #4 in its first full week, it didn't peak at #2 until the album release, so TEXAS HOLD 'EM is certainly off to a promising start to be contending for #1 this early.

Houdini opened with 414K

 

does anyone with Amazon Prime know where Beonce-Texas is on Amazon? not showing on the non-Prime list
