Posted Thursday at 23:012 days This is the official streaming services thread, the go-to topic for the discussion of playlists and charts from services such as Spotify, Apple & Amazon!

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 01:222 days ADÉLA smashing it Can see this hitting it’s stride soon and I really hope so. Would love for it to reach top 10!

Friday at 12:332 days looks pretty similar to eternal sunshine's early AM figures - for comparison, I found the old streaming thread and that album's 1pm update was:09. yes and?45. bye49. intro (end of the world)58. don't wanna break up again67. eternal sunshine85. we can't be friends (wait for your love)93. the boy is mine94. supernatural102. true story109.

Friday at 12:452 days Not suprised but would rather something other than Hate that I made you love me was the dominate track this week
Friday at 12:502 days Yeah so hate that I made you love me won't be going on a third week decline now
Friday at 13:022 days 11 minutes ago, Henessy Lake said:Yeah so hate that I made you love me won't be going on a third week decline nowWasn’t this week the third week so it will be on ACR next week and won’t get an album boost?
Friday at 13:132 days It was on dcl2, this week decline would put it on dcl3 then album boost would recover it before its sent to acr I think?
Friday at 13:162 days Well hate is the best song on the album so I wouldn’t be opposed to that extending it’s already very solid chart run!
Friday at 13:162 days Author It would go to ACR if it declines today, but could be reset for next Friday's chart anyway so it wouldn't have any noticeable effect in the real chart, it'd just be on ACR for the mids.
