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 13:581 day The Cure have released a version of “Boys Don’t Cry” this week that is being streamed for the first time, the 86” Mix which was a re-recorded version to promote their “Standing on a Beach” compilation album from that year. It’s slightly remixed and had new vocals from Robert Smith. It’ll be interesting to see if it gets decent streaming numbers alongside the original. This post was brought to you by “the bloke who went on Mastermind with The Cure as his specialist subject”.

Friday at 21:521 day Noah Kahan is new in on Apple at #38!Ella Langley is up to #39. I think that’s a big climb, I don’t think she was that high before?
Yesterday at 03:121 day The Kworb Apple Music chart hasn't shown any new entries for me any of the times I've checked it today, not sure if it's just stuck? (It is still showing songs as having moved from 24 hours ago though).Fingers crossed for 'Choosin' Texas' to go top 40 this week!
23 hours ago23 hr Nice to see Noah starting strong on apple, it’s such a solid return. Intrigued to see where he’ll debut on Spotify!

20 hours ago20 hr The success of Noah Kahan is puzzling to me, considering how many good singer-songwriters never make it commercially, but good for him I guess
