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.

Saturday at 14:191 day It's fascinating to watch the jazz/easy listening females thrive again when "the world burns". Norah Jones became hugely popular after/during 9/11 and Iraq war when people were looking for comforting music and sounds and now it's kind of happening again with Laufey, Olivia Dean and Sienna Spiro.

Do you have any evidence that the success of female jazz/easy listening is linked to world events?! Surely it's just the case that the popularity of musical genres comes and goes in cycles and this sound just happens to be popular again right now? Edited Saturday at 22:511 day by Mangø
Yesterday at 05:251 day I didn't mean it as a claim, just a thought that the rise of comforting "easy listening" music and the stress in the world might be connected. There is no real surveyed evidence behind it.

There is no real surveyed evidence behind it.It’s a fair point, a bit like how disco revived again during lockdown (was probably going to happen anyway but it did seem like people were seeking uplifting, party music at a time everything was shut down).
13 hours ago13 hr 'Man I Need' now less than 8k of streams behind 'Ophelia' I think she might grab one more week before being shunted to ACR.
