FAQs

 

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

For streaming and chart rules related FAQs read the pinned thread regarding this.

 

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?

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.

Edited June 13Jun 13 by ElectroBoy

Twenty One Pilots' song released at 5pm BST, so pretty good!

It’ll probably amount to nothing but happy to see Zara’s newie high up on New Music Friday.

Pretty Ugly was BURIED so this one might have a slighter greater chance of having some impact.

Wouldn’t It Be Nice can keep climbing! ❤️

Yes I hope The Beach Boys songs continue to stream well into next week!

In the weekly Spotify chart, 'Diet Pepsi' increased by more than 55%, so I think we can expect that to be reset as one of Addison's three charting songs. 'Let Down' had a net increase of 19% so I fear it may have missed its chance - it had a much bigger increase last week!

Seen it used on a lot of videos but my fyp doesn't always mean viral

I have to say that I had no expectations of Twenty One Pilots being even Top 200 today after it's 5pm release.

Well impressed and happy.

Does anyone know where/if it appeared on NMF today?
