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 07:102 days Raye added straight to HHUK as track #2. Lewis also added but quite low down which is a surprise
Friday at 08:352 days I can see Raye's song doing pretty well... but then I thought the same about 'Genesis' so what do I know!Lewis will no doubt be pulling out all the stops to get another number one, let's see if he can take on the KPop juggernaut.
Friday at 09:202 days 1 hour ago, Sour Candy said:We'll see what tricks Lewis' team has in their sleeves this week.He already has 2 cd singles at 99p with free shipping for the new single.

Friday at 14:022 days Just now, 777666jason said:Same thing kept happening when Ed kept releasing at 5pm, so im not suprised reallyThe hype has been huge for the song so I thought it would do big numbers at least make the top 200, guess tomorrow will be interesting but still only #120 on Apple, although I don’t think its updated for a few hoursEDIT: #32 on Apple now!
Friday at 14:032 days If Lewis Capaldi released yesterday afternoon, that AM position is huge underperformance so far.
