FAQs

 

What is streaming? 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.

 

Spotify

 

How do I see today's Spotify chart?

To see the daily top 50 update on desktop, log in to Spotify, click 'Browse', then click 'Charts', then click 'United Kingdom Top 50', or click the link below. For the full top 200, use the link below to go to Spotify's website. You can also use the Kworb website which displays the data in an easier to read format and also contains additional information, however this is often out of date.

How often does the Spotify chart update?

It should update once every day, usually in the early afternoon - although on occasion there will be a delay.

 

What do the numbers mean?

The streaming figures cited in the daily chart are the number of streams each song received the previous day. Unlike the iTunes chart, Spotify is not a rolling chart so the numbers will only change once per day.

 

Apple Music

 

How do I see today's Apple Music chart?

You can use the link below to view the Apple Music top 200 through Kworb. If you have Apple Music, you can also view the top 200 by going to the Charts section and clicking on See All in the Top Songs section.

gave it a listen this morning and it's her best project to date for me 🩵

re: @jimwatts in the previous streaming thread - that Kyla song is just the original that was sampled in 'One Dance', and indeed also in her only other top 40 hit with ArrDee. The original peaked at #48, would be nice if it can finally become more of a hit in its own right (but ofc who knows if anything will come of it entering now or if it's just a fleeting appearance).

Has it?

Got to the 10th of June when I check - its just yesterdays update didn't come until extremely late (about 3 ish hours ago)

Edited by ElectroBoy

The HMV exclusive 7” vinyl is for Honeybee (Cigarette Smoke is the b-side) so looks like they are pushing multiple songs.

Weird you'd think all the focus would be on 1 as I cant see both stupid song and honeybee kicking out drop dead and or the cure

Does seem odd to promote Stupid Song as the next single and then have a vinyl for a different song.

That can’t be right as Ariana climbed to #2 yesterday, so she can’t have climbed to #2 in today’s update too.

That's the chart for Wednesday 10 June:

https://charts.spotify.com/charts/view/regional-gb-daily/2026-06-10

The date Spotify put on the playlist is when the playlist was updated (consistent with how they put album release dates) - usually it's the next day, but in this case they went into the day after. Expect if their next update is back on time this afternoon, it will also have today's date on the playlist.

That’s yesterday’s update, today’s is still to come

Peculiar they’d do yesterday’s chart on today’s date

Maybe there was an error - its not like delays haven't happened in other updates - resulting in the data not showing until the evening. This was just a few hours longer.
