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.

Hot Hits UK

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.

This aged well :P

Not a single new entry on Spotify today, shows how dead a week it’s been for new releases.

Taste on 830k and the oasis tracks are holding up incredibly well, almost guaranteed to get at least 1 top 10 officially if they hold up this well all week I’d say

I hope Live Forever stays ahead of the two more overplayed classics, would be immense to have that back in the top 10.

 

And get Champagne Supernova on the chart ffs lol.

Mabel career gone down toilet she flopping agin

Oasis coming for three top 10s Lol

'Live Forever' coming for a new peak after all these years, or maybe a return to its #10 peak á la 'Another Love'?

'Slide Away' now top 50 :cheer:

I would guess that yesterday/today is the peak for Oasis considering the tix are on sale now. Interesting to see how their songs hold later on.

Anyone know how Clean Bandit have managed to get to #51 on OCC when it's not top 200 on Spotify, and below 100 on Apple? Is that just enough these days because of so many ACR or album tracks?

Would be quite something for Live Forever to reach a new peak after all these years, what a magical song.

 

One of many major classics to be saddled with a No.10 peak.

Anyone know how Clean Bandit have managed to get to #51 on OCC when it's not top 200 on Spotify, and below 100 on Apple? Is that just enough these days because of so many ACR or album tracks?

 

They're Top 20 on Amazon

Clean Bandit were like #7 on Amazon

I’m guessing Dancing In The Dark is also doing well on Amazon

Still amazes me how there can be such huge discrepancies like this. I know the DSPs have different demographics, but still. Presumably it's well playlisted there then.

Amazon to get Lifetimes back in the top 100 somehow please !!
