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.

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?

All in with a chance

Katy's lack of support is disheartening, Apple Music is usually very kind to her, but she's not on Hot Songs OR the Today's Top Hits playlist, the only two that make much impact.

The whole Eminem album straight into the top Apple 200, with Renaissence the highest newbie at #15

funnily the lowest one on Apple is the one being pushed on Spotify NMF :o

It's the last song on the album, most people will be streaming the album in full before they replay their favourites.

 

It's also being pushed on Apple's Today's Hits, so it will be one of the top songs there soon.

Katy Perry breaking spotify!!!

That Katy Perry song is horrendous. :puke2:

Katy is #136 on AM

Katy Perry up to 96 not looking like a smash hit at all but good enough for top 25, Eminem now occupying 9 of the top 20 and probably the whole of the top 5 soon

#96 is good for Katy at this stage I'd say?

Yeah it probably is doing ok at this point it’d be 19 places higher if Eminem didn’t have an album out
