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?

To see the daily top 50 update on desktop, log in to Spotify, click 'Browse', then click 'Charts', then click 'United Kingdom Top 50', or click the link below. 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.

    My neighbours are Portuguese and they rarely play English music but they were playing Daisies earlier so that’s how you know it’s going to be a big hit

  • Number 2 on NMF is hardly anything to feel sorry for them about

  • Sour Candy

    Hundred people that are chronically online pretending they are better than others? I mean, she got free tix, probably knows 5-10 songs and appreciates his vocals and dancing. Very much worth hating l

On paper, Sonny Fodera and Jazzy’s new single should be a hit.

Interested to see how high Skye Newman debuts with single #3.

^Skye is very low on NMF for some reason

NMF

1 Jim Legxacy - SOS who??

2 Last Dinner Party

3 Alex Warren

4 Sonny Fodera, Jazzi

15 Skye Newman

it actually sounds very good

but crazy he's track #1 when Skye Newman is only track #15

the sonny fodera/jazzi one sounds like a hit to me

Yeah never heard of this Jim Legxacy before but a quick google search reveals he's a producer, rapper and singer from SE London. Guessing his label have paid for him to be track 1 on NMF, The song is actually pretty good!

Kinda shows that labels have the upper hand if they throw some money at Spotify :o

feel sorry for Last Dinner Party, one of the biggest UK bands at the moment, they're back with the lead of album 2

after a huge debut era, big comeback single with a video ready to go... but this random guy gets #1 on NMF instead

Daisies is up to 27 on Amazon so looks like it’s jumping 10 places every few hours atm

But the difference between 1 and 2 could be the difference between flop and Smash 😅

You don't really get a backlash for going to a concert, even if it was Chris Brown (who somehow is still super popular among female audience).

Well what do you call it when getting a lot of hate for going to the concert if its not backlash 😅
