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 08:425 days Going to take a punt that the Taylor Swift track will be a flash in the pan. Its very much a soundtrack song. I can't imagine it every half hour on radio one.
Friday at 08:465 days Well your first person I've seen say anything negative so far its definitely gonna linger for a few months id say Edited Friday at 08:465 days by 777666jason
Friday at 09:215 days Soundtrack songs can do very well though, especially lately and with it being Taylor on top of that

Friday at 09:595 days Oh the Taylor song will be huge - TS5 seems to be everywhere, plus it’s used in the film, has the Taylor’s power behind it plus the physicals (and potentially remixes/alt versions to come).It seems the perfect partnership - her fanbase will support it as hard as always, and the fact it’s in the film that my tween nieces are excited to see will help it branch out to outside the fanbase.It might not be a huge radio hit but it’ll be a huge chart one.
Friday at 10:475 days The next question will be can Taylor end rein me in I hope it at least gets longest number 1 of the decade today as It deserves it tbh been a huge sleeper hit then it can go away 😂

Friday at 11:455 days 26 minutes ago, 777666jason said:You mean they were time limited 😮I imagine, therefore, they were only available until midnight last night

Friday at 11:525 days 33 minutes ago, 777666jason said:You mean they were time limited 😮Yes, downloads and it seems the streaming versions (unless I can’t see them) were all time limited and have vanished.
Friday at 12:395 days Oddly enough she’s doing way better here than anywhere else 😅 She also debuted #123 US but only rose to #70
Friday at 12:565 days Taylor’s song is very forgettable tbh. It’ll probably still go to #1 off name and physical sales alone but can’t see it sticking around
