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.

 

Spotify

 

How do I see today's Spotify chart?

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.

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 200 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.

Hope Noah & The Whale can get a resurgence with ‘5 Years Time’ due to the new Superman movie which is released today!

Oh Bieber is back!! @1 on NMF

The new Bieber album sounds pretty strong to me, which probably means it will bomb now. 😂

Definitely a number of tracks which could do pretty well commercially. Saying that, Daisies seems like an odd choice to be the focus track. Not sure that would be the most popular album track by the end of the week.

Blackpink are too far down New Music Friday. Expect Jump to have a good week still.

I thought 'Swag' was the single? Does either track have an official video, do you know?

^the first post in here yesterday was about Bieber back with a single called Swag, but that was before people realised it was a full album instead.

Daisies is the focus track on Spotify, while Way it Is and Sweet Spot are the focus songs on Apple Music.

Cannot see any official video so far.

As if he’s actually got a track called that lmao

Spotify has updated and there are a couple of new entries:

130. Oasis - Slide Away (Live from Cardiff, 4 July '25)

179. WizTheMc, bees & honey - Take My Mind

'Live Forever' is back to being Oasis' top song. They're playing their first Manchester gig of the reunion tonight so perhaps another boost on the way.

Biebs already charting on US Apple Music, also Clipse's focus track w/ Kendrick #21 there. A hit coming up?

"Take My Mind" is so similar to "Show Me Love"- it's almost like Rednex and their follow-up single back in the day...

amazing for Slide away for finally to be released as single :)

the top 3 Oasis songs are doing very similar figures

23 Live forever 188K

26 Don't look back in anger 182K
