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.

VERY dead week for new releases! New Olivia and Zara sound alright but that's about it.

Little by little 73 & 174 on Apple Music. Shame yesterdays streams don’t count as it had a big day it seems

Even the week after Christmas isn't THIS quiet

Oh my I just realised why Taylor doesnt do pre-album singles, its cos Of Me!! That song… that was actually her last era with a proper pre-album single!

Or could be that folklore and evermore proved she didnt need to , so why fix something that isn't broken 🤣

Yeah, I'd say she's been elevated to a whole different level since Folklore so she doesn't really need to follow that traditional model with the status she has now.

Not to mention while ME! wasn't exactly a critical success, it was still a commercial hit and her career wasn't put in any jeopardy by it. I don't think her decision to avoid pre-album singles since is anything to do with ME! itself.

Wow, I just listened to Dijon’s (Mk.gee and recent Bieber collaborator and influencer) new album. It’s fantastic! Quirky R+B for anyone looking for something slightly unusual.
