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?

For the full top 200, use the link below to go to Spotify's website.

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

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.

boo at HH not adding Guess Remix

 

they belatedly added Calvin/Ellie now and quite high, also that Fodera-Somedays song

 

Apple:

45 NEW TAYLOR SWIFT - AUGUST :)

Taylor should release a song for every month + Easter and Christmas Eve, considering she has New Years Day, and August. She's so business-savvy that bizarre she hasn't done it yet.

well she has Cruel Summer, which is streamed all summer + the rest of the year, that's enough :D

Charli is up to #7 on the Spotify artists chart today (one place off of a re-peak :cheer:) and the 'Guess' remix is at #59 on the Apple Music Dance chart (which means it's probably sitting around #250 on the main chart right now) which is a very promising sign!

Well for Christmas she does have Christmas tree farm, technically there is also back to December and tis the damn season

It bugs me when artists release songs an hour before midnight just wait an hour Jesus

Well for Christmas she does have Christmas tree farm, technically there is also back to December and tis the damn season

She also has the EP 'The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection' from 2007! It's not very well remembered though, but it is on streaming.

Some definite changes on Spotify yesterday in playlisting and/or what (older) songs they’re pushing on autoplay.

 

Some big position rises, falls and re-entries for songs that I’d otherwise expect to be pretty stable.

 

Flowers dropping 108 places is crazy

Isn't there usually a Retro Thursday playlist which sees some older songs usually take big climbs anyway

Highest apple has ever been, in fact the first time it has been ahead of 360 o think in Spotify but I’m sure guess will overtake tomorrow

Oh wow Apple overtook 360

Guess enters at #128
