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.

 

Spotify App [top 50]

Spotify Website [top 200]

Kworb [top 200 and extra data]

 

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.

 

Kworb [top 100]

UK Top 100

 

How often does the Apple Music chart update?

It like iTunes updates on a regular basis a number of times a day. No streaming figures are provided however, unlike Spotify.

 

Amazon

 

How do I see today's Amazon Music chart?

You can use the link below to view the Amazon Music chart.

 

Amazon Music

 

How often does the Amazon Music chart update?

Hozier is up to #3 on AM - will be a nice battle between Fortnight, Too Sweet and maybe Espresso on official charts.

 

The earlier discussion about autoplay: on Wednesday, Espresso was THE ONLY song to increase on US Spotify among the top 50 tracks and it increased 300k - that cannot be organic, no matter how we look at it.

Apple's Today's Hits has added:

 

20. Tems - Love Me JeJe

30. salute (feat. Rina Sawayama) - saving flowers

44. Alok, Tazi & Samuele Sartini (feat. Amanda Wilson & YORK) - Seek Love (On The Beach)

 

No Aitch for Apple

I guess we will see the next few days im a believer the autoplay angle is overhyped

Dead week for newbies

HH has Sabrina on the cover but think they only added an AJ Tracey track called Joga Bonito

Edited by ElectroBoy

hard to predict what will happen when the autoplayola ends

Friday is always the highest day right? So if the trend continues Sabrina shoukd be 950+ tomorrow, is that enough to get a big lead for #1? Not sure.

 

I'm thinking

 

1. Sabrina

2. Hozier

3. Taylor

 

For next week

She’s obviously doing amazing but I don’t feel like this album will really spawn any hits.

love the anti-taylor people who have actually listened to the album Zero times but know there are no hits in there lol

or the ones that say the album is boring or dull but have actually not listened to it all the way thru

 

Forthnight is huge already so saying it's not really a hit is silly to say the least

Well they obviously weren’t lying if they really couldn’t get through it were they?

 

I literally said she’s doing amazing! Not sure what more you want me to say? God forbid we speculate on anything.
