poor brave Calvin getting another flop then can’t see the Charli one sticking around for long either

Each week, 8 new releases are selected to go head to head, with one weekly winner which will then go up against future weekly winners later in the year at the end of each quarter of the year, and then again at the end of the year to determine the ultimate winner of 2026. This week's results: Becky Hill - >>>hands on me<< 6 D.O.D x Hayley May - Closure 1 Dom Dolla x Tiga - Don't Worry Baby 2 Groove Theory x Cloonee - One Question 1 Madeon x Slayyter - Fire Away 5 Nia Archives - Boys In Blue 1 Rudimental - Love You More 2 Skrillex x ISOxo x Cristale x TeeZandos - Smoke 0 Becky Hill's comeback single, her first release as a lead performer since 2024 album 'Believe Me Now?', gives her another victory here. So far it doesn't look to be returning her to the official chart and one may fear she's been away from the spotlight a bit too long for it to impact. Whilst this may've been the predictable win, it was not without a fight as Madeon placed only one vote behind with 'Fire Away'. It is the third release from his forthcoming third album and most popular so far with the assistance of Buzzjack pop fave Slayyyter. A certain someone releasing means this week may well be a forgone formality (none of his lead performer singles since the series began have ever not won) but as always we have eight songs for you to choose from... ========================================== Each week, choose one song only that you feel is your favourite from the selection of releases that week. If you wish to post a rate of the selection of songs in the thread, please feel free to do so. Here are this week's contenders; Above & Beyond x Justine Suissa - When I Look In Your Eyes Calvin Harris x Jazzy - Satisfy The Chainsmokers x Oaks - Love Is Kind George Reid - Turn Back Time Kaskade x Layton Giordani x Natalie Jane - Meet Again Namasenda - Madonna Prospa x Murda Beatz - Baby TSHA x HoneyLuv x Ellie Maxwell - I Need U Results of this week's poll will be revealed in next week's thread. The poll will remain open until the following Friday. 2026 Dance Track of the Week Winners: Week 1+2: DJ Seinfeld - Plush Week 3: Danny L Harle x Julia Michaels - Raft In The Sea Week 4: George Reid - True Desire Week 5: MJ Cole x PinkPantheress - Still Sincere Week 6: Calvin Harris x Kasabian - Release the Pressure Week 7: Danny L Harle x Dua Lipa - Two Hearts Week 8: Tiësto x Brieanna Grace - Beautiful Places Week 9: Hannah Laing x Marlon Hoffstadt x Caroline Roxy - Stomp Your Feet Week 10: Bebe Rexha x Faithless - New Religion Week 11: Chase & Status x Pozer - Through The Pain Week 12: Illenium x David Guetta x Dustin Lynch - Die Living Week 13: Fcukers - Lonely Week 14: Disclosure - The Sun Comes Up Tremendous Week 15: Afrojack x Sia x David Guetta - Awake Tonight Week 16: John Summit x Devault x Julia Church - Shades of Blue Week 17: Duke Dumont x Låpsley - Misdemeanour Week 18: Becky Hill - >>>hands on me<<< link to 2025 winners link to 2024 winners link to 2023 winners

it's credited to Mel B on Spotify. I think it's just literally a case of no-one cares for it, the tracks have very pitiful stream counts.

Indeed the average song in the top 40 currently was released in... January 2019. Even if you ignore the MJ comeback, it is then June 2023. Only 14 of the current top 40 were actually released this calendar year, so it's dire no matter how you look at it. I will have to be a tad hypocritical though and celebrate the brilliant "Go" belatedly becoming a top 40 hit though.

R1 being cautious about playlisting Calvin after Release the Pressure flopped perhaps? a bit shocking regardless but I still expect it’ll eventually make it

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. 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. 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 UK UK Top 50 New Music Friday Today's Top Hits 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.
