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.

She’ll be lucky if she makes top 100 of the sales only charts.

I know she's far from being a big name or anything, but the fact she's not even amongst 118 new songs this week and there's some absolute nobodies towards the bottom of that list is kind of sad

22 hours ago22 hr Man I Need is already #11 on AM, can be a top 5 hit easily for her, and with album boost, maybe more (Golden gonna stay number 1 me thinks)
22 hours ago22 hr Just realised 12 to 12 isn't even on Hot Hits UK, has this always been the case? back to friends is still as high as #4 and undressed is #20
22 hours ago22 hr ^I also noticed today, I couldn't see it and did a search and was shocked it's not there so I guess it's never been there? they're so out of touch that they're still pushing Back to friends :/
22 hours ago22 hr BTF is still #2 on global Spotify so they’re hardly going to remove it.Olivia up to 7! On Apple Doja 94

20 hours ago20 hr I guess if it hangs around she has a good chance at #1 when her album comes out or golden goes ACR
20 hours ago20 hr 1 hour ago, Liam Sota said:BTF is still #2 on global Spotify so they’re hardly going to remove it.There's a middle ground between it being #4 on HHUK and not being there at all, though! It's a shame that he's got his album out this week and is literally the cover of the playlist but his new single, which is doing remarkably well despite the lack of support, is left off.
