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.

5 hours ago5 hr Not really a pink and upbeat album… more like light grey to the first one. LOVE SONG that he’s pushing is just ok… very just there.
5 hours ago5 hr Looks like Swag II is acting as Swag Deluxe, the original album is tagged as disc 2 on streaming so they will count for the same chart slot.
5 hours ago5 hr I remember when Swag was released they said another one more poppier was coming soonIs that the poppier one? or just more of the same for the same people? Edited 5 hours ago5 hr by Bjork

1 hour ago1 hr 5 minutes ago, Bjork said:Golden sure still #1 by miles when all versions combined... was wondering if the French version countsas it is called Briller rather than GoldenDidn't realise this was a thing - guessing it counts even if the credited singers and title are different. Just listened and I don't think there's actually any Korean in the French version...EDIT there's a Spanish version called Dorada too! Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by gasman449
1 hour ago1 hr Is it not technically a remix as its essentially the same song just in a different language?
