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.

Thursday at 23:211 day Intrigued to see what boost Taylor’s August will have, as the last two years it probably did better while she was on tour, intrigued to see how high it can get
Yesterday at 02:051 day New Chappell is STUNNING! SO SO SOOOOO GOOD!New Demi is a BANGER! SO SO SOOOOO GOOD!Hope both can be big!
Yesterday at 07:311 day Chappell’s ’The Subway’ is sounding really good on first listen. Here’s hoping it pulls off the numbers to be next week's #1.Edit: Apple Music#148 Chappell Roan - The Subway
Yesterday at 08:301 day Golden #1 today, The Subway #1 for the next 10 weeks please, it's everything The Giver should have been but wasn't The Subway is just perfection, they managed to make a perfect recording from the live version

Yesterday at 11:041 day Hopefully Chappel has a shot. Quite enjoying a quick turnaround after such an ordinary song being at number 1 for an eternity
Yesterday at 12:181 day The subway has a lot of hype behind it, lots of us been waiting for it since she debuted it over a year ago! Also helps that it is an absolutely incredible song! Really hope it can get to number 1
Yesterday at 12:211 day Author the big question will be if she can get the legitimate number one or another number one by default with ordinary continuing as the genuine most popular song of the day
Yesterday at 12:301 day It’s nice enough and with Chappell it’s guaranteed to do well first week no matter what but 10 weeks at 1 for this song is not happening
Yesterday at 12:451 day Wow, The Subway is fantastic! Gorgeous song especially the fade out coda! I’m not going to predict any more future number ones though, because I’m always wrong.
