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.

Yesterday at 07:541 day Are you guys saying you like like all Paramore songs with the only exception being The Only Exception?
Yesterday at 09:141 day I’ve noticed that yesterday (Tuesday’s streams) - ‘Last Christmas’ dipped globally and ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ increased. Up until now, the trend has been LC getting further ahead of AIWFCIY most days. Does anyone have any thoughts about why Tuesday was markedly different?LC is still number 1 on ‘Christmas Hits’ playlist, so it’s not as result of a change there.
Yesterday at 13:201 day What a pitiful week for new releases! But I guess it is getting to that time of year. Can't bring myself to listen to the new Christmas songs I see in the list.

22 hours ago22 hr I keep seeing TikTok’s with finneas’ cover of my moon my man on my fyp so maybe that’s partly to do with it?
22 hours ago22 hr Just now, GTH said:Looks like Feist is finally leaving the one hit wonder club.Indeed, on a strictly top 40 basis it'll be a similar gap between appearances as Justice recently, if this makes it!
22 hours ago22 hr sombr's Orchestral version is still surging - up to #30 now and both versions combined would be #3 with 323,882 streams!
22 hours ago22 hr Great for Feist, incredible the song wasn't a hit at the time, that album was packed with hit worthy songs.Weird how My Body Isn't Ready took so long to take off compared to sombr's other songs, it feels quite an instant track to me.
22 hours ago22 hr Faouzia up 1k week on week, but down Thursday to Thursday on Spotify. This implies the figures submitted by Spotify should be more than last week - and therefore she won’t go to DCL3. Hopefully that means she might also climb this week, but probably not into the top 40. Though whatever happens now, she should still be around in January.
22 hours ago22 hr I think I could see My Body Isn’t Ready getting to number 1 in January, and becoming an absolutely mega hit

I think it's done just fine, just a top 3 peak for it would be lovely.

Have you seen now The Pudding Mix loses many streams from 240k to 180k nowThe single version will overtake it in the next two weeks, or even sooner, just like last year.
