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.

Friday at 06:155 days Didnt realise Sombr was @5 on Spotify with 12 to 12!!Also Lord Huron doing incredible once more why cant they get reset!! That song truly deserves unlike Wonderwal or Viva la Vida. And they are even touring! But tour resets only count for big names like Oasis I bet Edited Friday at 06:225 days by Bjork
Friday at 06:255 days Tour resets only count for UK acts. Others need to increase 25%Interesting to see how the new Gorillaz single does, their older hits have become very popular lately. Edited Friday at 06:345 days by Sour Candy
Friday at 06:395 days Haven't herd the new Gorillaz, hope it's good!Gaga-The Dead Dance #14 on Amazon, #18 on Apple and #24 on Spotify
Friday at 06:485 days I imagine Gorillaz will have a decent debut but won’t stick around long, it’s one of their less commercial singles.

Friday at 13:125 days Not looking good for Ed Sheeran on AM... his older songs are hardly even climbing let alone new ones debuting yet. Edited Friday at 13:315 days by Sour Candy
