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. 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.Spotify App [top 50]Spotify Website [top 200]Kworb [top 200 and extra data]What are the most influential Spotify playlists?Links to Spotify's top playlists are as below.Hot Hits UKUK Top 50New Music FridayToday's Top HitsHow 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 MusicHow do I see today's Apple Music chart?You can use the link below to view the Apple Music top 200 through Kworb.

11 hours ago11 hr That Justice/Tame/SZA/KGLW collab title is doing a lot already, curious if it actually lands as big as that lineup suggests.
11 hours ago11 hr Here's hoping for the most exciting chart week in a while with Olivia Rodrigo feat. Chappell Roan, Tate McRae, Justice feat. Tame Impala, SZA & King Gizzard, Zach Bryan feat. Lana Del Rey and a Fontaines album bomb all having the potential to impact.
11 hours ago11 hr Author unfortunately the Fontaines Rosalia collab isn't being pushed as the focus track on NMF, 'Japan' is getting the push instead, but hopefully the album impact is big enough that it'll end up top 40 anyway

6 hours ago6 hr Lies is great so hopefully that'll chart as well - could be the busiest week in a LONG time on the singles chart w/ that + Fontaines D.C. + expectations + Housewife!(also Lana can u plz hurry up and drop Lasso/The Right Man Will Come/Stove/whatever you're calling it now already - this is the fourth rollout you've started and there's no concrete sign the album actually exists x) Edited 6 hours ago6 hr by maggotsforbrains
4 hours ago4 hr Spotify has updated and 'Where Is Gone?' has climbed 13 places back up to #63 even pre-album impact, looking forward to tomorrow's chart
4 hours ago4 hr 'Where Is Gone?' not being the Spotify focus track is giving me fear it somehow ends up not charting at all because of the 3 track rule. It is quite deep into the tracklist as well! But hopefully the Hot Hits add will counteract that xGood to see a decent number of new releases off to a fast start for once.
4 hours ago4 hr Most Days at #1 on UK Spotify1| Sam Fender & Olivia Dean - Rein Me In (143 days)2| Olivia Dean - Man I Need (142)3| Wham! - Last Christmas (136)4| Alex Warren - Ordinary (128)Most Weeks at #1 on UK Spotify1=| Sam Fender & Olivia Dean - Rein Me In (23 weeks)1=| Wham! - Last Christmas (23)3| Olivia Dean - Man I Need (20)4| Alex Warren - Ordinary (18)'Man I Need' didn't have the days record for long! 'Rein Me In' probably won't either with Christmas approaching (also 'Babydoll' is up to #2, be afraid...) 'Rein Me In' first topped Spotify weekly on its 9th week officially and has only now matched its eventual official total - only 'stupid song' and 'Patient Zero' have since checked its time at #1 here for a week each.
4 hours ago4 hr Rein Me In with double the streams of the song currently at #1 on the official chart ☠️
