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?

Hot Hits UK UK Top 50 New Music Friday Today's Top Hits How often does the Spotify chart update?

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?

right, giving the rest of the week for votes then as BJSC has been a bit of a distraction

ah I see it's culture war nonsense to promote the Australian One Nation party we'd have been better off making the Turkish original version a hit instead

We ought to all be going to BED now then, I hadn't meant for it to start so late but I had been busy with the family. As such, the finals thread will go up tomorrow, but you are welcome to vote as soon as you like.

Riding their way into the finale tonight as our last-announced qualifiers are Trifoski! Sadly this means we narrowly lose out Niceland with their returning entry, the second NQ that received points from the host nation. They'd have needed an additional six points to surpass the entry in 20th. QUALIFIED :: Trifoski :: LustSickPuppy - RIDE IT 21st :: Niceland :: Cephas Azariah & Elle Limebear - you're gonna be okay48 points: +10 Zanmatony +8 D'yermak'er +7 The Spodic Empire +7 Elëdan +6 Danæviia +6 Summericia +4 Aelandor

We now lift the veil of darkness over the final SF1 result... and indeed it is Terra Avium who live to progress to the finale. An incredibly unlucky 21st place finish losing out by tiebreak therefore goes to FARC who like N DNTN and Bronzil before them had supporters in the double-digits. QUALIFIED :: Terra Avium :: yeule - Veil Of Darkness 21st :: FARC :: Banoffee - Muscles52 points: +10 N DNTN +10 Freidland +8 East Rukahavian +7 Flynnonda +4 Cor Lupus +3 Sandenia +3 Mothertopia +3 Land of DW +2 Pagasa +2 Hendinia

SF1 FARC vs Terra Avium SF2 Niceland vs Trifoski

Former winner Faouzia still has a shot to repeat that success as she qualifies for Fljótavík tonight. Meanwhile unfortunately stuck in the NQ zone we have Altyr Muunilinst QUALIFIED :: Fljótavík :: Faouzia - DON'T EVER LEAVE ME 22nd :: Altyr Muunilinst :: RABO - Stuck In November47 points: +12 Ojnoj +10 Taahino +8 Republique d'Askorza +7 Yehesi +4 Skall +4 New Lexico +2 Harmonica

It's been tense viewing for Land of DW tonight but they can now have some relief as their Hungarian band are in the final. It's not good news however for Glastonbury newsmakers Kneecap who just fall short for N DNTN. QUALIFIED :: Land of DW :: Csaknekedkislány - Minden Mozog 22nd :: N DNTN :: KNEECAP - THE RECAP (feat. Mozey)47 points: +8 Pestolia +8 A-Konohagakure +7 Juranabaijan +5 FARC +5 Kluminican Republic +4 Hendinia +3 Ennea +3 Terra Avium +3 Nelionoir +1 Pagasa

Congrats to Baleghde who do see their 50th anniversary entry qualify. However as Persephonia may well have mentally prepared for by now it is not to be for them tonight. QUALIFIED :: Baleghde :: BANKS - Contaminated 23rd :: Persephonia :: Sr. Falla De Origen - SQFML44 points: +12 Cheiron +8 Jadakissnia +5 Zephyra Continuum +4 Trifoski +4 Eledan +3 Greenfroze +3 Fljótavík +3 Thelonia +1 Seyetana +1 Dobago

As you wish then. Only one of you have qualified.

It is two of two for KAS:ST who qualify tonight for Kluminican Republic. Whether they can repeat the success of 'Hell On Earth' remains to be seen. Meanwhile Lookylion are another nation tonight who picked up a few big fans but not much else and just miss out on the finale. QUALIFIED :: Kluminican Republic :: KAS:ST - Sound Of The Soul 23rd :: Lookylion :: Momo Boyd - American Love Song46 points: +12 Lotunia +12 Hushkanukia +10 Herbilore +7 East Rukahavian +4 Deandria +1 Bronzil

It's not all bad news for French-language pop as we do have POPHub secure a finalist spot. We have a rather unfortunate pairing however as it is the first of two of my personal favourites that leave us tonight from the mighty FSR Rontvia who have a rare NQ tonight. QUALIFIED :: POPHub :: Le Manou - Fille À Papa 24th :: FSR Rontvia :: DJ Suzy - White Rabbit44 points: +8 Trifoski +8 Fljótavík +7 Danæviia +6 Skall +5 D'yermak'er +4 Republique d'Askorza +4 Jadakissnia +2 Zanmatony

Windows 98 proves to not be too out of date for our finale. However it's sad news for Bronzil who, despite receiving 12 votes - more than a good handful of our qualifiers - many of these were for only 1 point each. QUALIFIED :: Pestolia :: frutiger dillon - Windows98 24th :: Bronzil :: KÄSSY - i-i-i43 points: +12 Jupiterdonia +6 Cumulonimbia +5 Pagasa +5 Ajanaeda +4 N DNTN +3 Herbilore +3 Hendinia +1 Mothertopia +1 East Rukahavian +1 Kathaldazia +1 Nelionoir +1 Aeroche

You are correct, I've added this to the post now
