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.

February 6Feb 6 Die For Me is definitely the best of those new releases, let's hope it can go Top 5 and eventually No 1.

February 6Feb 6 I like a lot of this week's newies! Myles x Niall is better than I was expecting it to sound, Zayn, sombr and Maisie are all decent, and even the Rick Astley song sounds really good!! Just a shame about the Calvin song...

February 6Feb 6 Definitely the best new music Friday I’ve enjoyed in a long time! Really enjoying Calvin/Kasabian, sombr, Myles/Niall & Zayn
February 6Feb 6 I’ve not listened to any of these songs yet, but looking at your selections, I’ve made the right choice about which songs to add to my playlist.

Friday at 15:175 days 'Stick Season' had a less than 20% increase on Weekly Spotify in the end, but 'DAISIES' had 31% and 'WILDFLOWER' 55%, so one or both of those might be reset.
Friday at 15:365 days I know it’s had a boost but I cant quite believe the numbers that Man I Need is still doing! It will take a massive song to knock it off the top
