good to see Ocean sneaking in, although it quickly dropped for me so not sure it'll even make my top 100. Blessings I hope appears much later on. Messy was another fave of this year's big UK hits

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?

Some more Charli xcx is ordered, with the album opener '360' placing here alongside its biggest hit taken from the remixed version - 'Guess' which was much-assisted by Billie Eilish who'd also had a big 2024 in her own right. Another Charli remix is yet to appear as her top performing song. As the first of 7 appearances for Ariana Grande, 'God Is A Woman' remains stable in the lower section of the countdown at 90th. Lil Nas X returns after a year off with self-titled hit 'Montero', not quite his biggest hit but his highest regarded here. All three Lady Gaga appearances here are collaborations, which may change next year with 'Abracadabra's eligibility. Until then, to start off she is back in the list with soundtrack hit 'Shallow'. Zara Larsson sees a revival for 'Lush Life' assisted by its recent virality boost - it is now her third year in the top 100 after a six year break and will have one more chance to best its 70th peak. Beyonce's soul remains unbroken as her dance hit rises in the countdown to 85th - it is her sole appearance here as Buzzjack didn't quite take to the more recent country album. A few songs have taken tumbles this year and in this section we have one from Olivia Rodrigo, out from last year's top 40 with her biggest hit 'Good 4 U' which means a different song of hers is now the forum fave. Calvin Harris has a respectable final finish to round out the decade for HAIM collab 'Pray To God', that made the final round in six years. We're also due our dose of Lipa here with 'Houdini' rising a little from last year's debut which is good to see. 90 85 237 Ariana Grande - God Is A Woman 73-49-103-88-80-85-90 // 7th, 2018 89 139 239 Lil Nas X - Montero (Call Me By Your Name) 78-75-139-89- // 5th, 2021 88 ** 241 Charli xcx - 360 88- // 9th, 2024 87 126 244 Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper – Shallow 34-23-85-74-85-126-87- // 5th, 2018 86 228 246 Zara Larsson - Lush Life 85-70-177-190-220-182-189-228-86-// 12th, 2016 85 141 248 Beyoncé - Break My Soul 150-141-85- // 5th, 2023 84 31 249 Olivia Rodrigo - Good 4 U 35-42-31-84- // 7th, 2021 83 ** 249 Charli xcx (feat.

I too wonder if there’s going to be a load of think pieces about Wham being Cmas number one a third time running which will push the OCC into doing something similar to what Australia have going on. there’s already been one BBC article moaning about how Wham seemingly have it every year now.

Without any further ado let's get on with the results... Amazingly one in ten of this whole rundown is taken up by one woman - Dua Lipa. I don't think we've seen such domination before. Alas, three of her titles are knocked out in the bottom ten. Her newest entry, 'Training Season' which followed-up 'Houdini' is at the very end of the list, whilst 'Break My Heart' cracks the ranking for the first time in its five-year history and 'Hallucinate' re-appears for a third time. Charli xcx had a very impressive 2024 with four of her brattiest songs making it to the final ranking. Bottom of the bunch was the song that led it all in 'Von dutch' which was also voted Buzzjack's favourite dance hit of the year. Between them, Billie Eilish once again has her best song of the ranking finish the lowest amongst them - 'When the Party's Over' now down to second-from-last. Her Barbie soundtrack hit takes a dip to also place in the bottom 10 leaving four more titles from her to go. Grimes is still here too however her stock has fallen massively with a 50+ place drop for 'Kill V Maim' with her other semi-regular having not made the semi-finals - it's now the last year for both. Lana Del Rey has a new forum favourite (of the last ten years at least) as the lengthy A&W climbs into the region in its second year. We always like to see a song eventually breaking through after bubbling under for years though and that's what we get with Blossoms who finally crack it with only one year to go before exiled to the old music pile with their biggest seller 'Charlemagne'. Ava Max also returns to the region with 'My Head & My Heart' not quite managing to scale the height of 86th where it debuted. 100 ** 176 Dua Lipa - Training Season 100- // 10th, 2024 99 97 200 Billie Eilish - When the Party's Over 388-510-155-124-82-97-99- // 4th, 2018 98 ** 222 Charli xcx - Von dutch 98- // 15th, 2024 97 114 225 Dua Lipa - Break My Heart 180-145-115-114-97- // 14th, 2020 96 217 226 Lana Del Rey - A&W 217-96- // 15th, 2023 95 149 227 Blossoms - Charlemagne xx-412-416-174-198-168-151-149-95- // 7th, 2016 94 260 230 Dua Lipa - Hallucinate 130-66-97-260-94- // 12th, 2020 93 73 230 Billie Eilish - What Was I Made For? 73-93- // 12th, 2023 92 41 232 Grimes - Kill V.
