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.SpotifyHow 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.

Friday at 11:361 day Surprised there’s been no talk on LISA’s ‘Sawadika’ anywhere, considering it’s absolutely blowing up everywhere on social media (I mean 33 million views in 11 hours on YouTube so far is insane).Rooting for the above and Miley this week!
Friday at 13:511 day I don't have incredibly high expectations for PRIMA this week but hopefully it at least allows Adela a new peak with Ain't In LA! Would be great if anything else from the album could chart on Spotify but I'm aware that's probably unlikely.

Friday at 14:241 day Despite falling two spots, "Training Season" increases 42 (!) streams in comparison to Spotify's September 2 update.Either way, it's charting at Amazon Music at #76 and Apple Music at #98.

Friday at 15:161 day 1 hour ago, maggotsforbrains said:Miley's up to #57 on Apple Music now - SHE IS COMINGHappy to see how well Miley is doing currently. Added to TTH at #9 on spotify. Should see a nice debut on Spotify I would think between that and being #2 on NMF. Hoping for a top 10 debut in the main chart!The music video is doing decent views, 1.7 million so far which is good. Music video views tend to peak Saturday so hope it keeps climbing well for a bit *_*
Friday at 18:191 day Bass Persuades up to #50 now on Apple Music - officially higher than End Of The World's debut on there!Ain't In LA's also up to #42 off the back of PRIMA's release
Friday at 18:221 day New peaks on Spotify today:#10 STELLA LEFTY - Boston#26 Ashe - Stop The Wedding!#27 ADÉLA - Ain't In LA#67 Fontaines D.C. - I Love You#73 Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive#171 Jamie Miller - Babydoll#198 Kings Of Leon - Wait For Me (also a new entry)

Friday at 18:481 day Adela and Ashe getting new peaks I know that’s right!! Hoping the former can crack the top 20 with more people listening to the album through the week.
Friday at 19:411 day I don't think I've seen such a backlash against an artist as I have for the past week with Stella Lefty in a long while, but I guess all promo is promo at this point and is probably encouraging people to see what the talk is about, kinda like it did for ABCDEFU.Please don't let that song go #1 though, I beg. Even bring Rein Me In back if you have to x
Friday at 19:471 day There is no way anyone actually enjoys that Stella Lefty song. I refuse to believe it.
Friday at 20:201 day If it pipes up interest and sales as so close yeah i would very much like it to get to number 1 as well, as I dont care if im in the minority I do enjoy it
Friday at 20:351 day 47 minutes ago, Jack said:There is no way anyone actually enjoys that Stella Lefty song. I refuse to believe it.Her album didn't even go top 75 so at least there is very limited interest towards her as an artist.
