Imagine if Spotify is as popular in the USA as it is in Sweden..... If I remember correctly, Spotify generates more than half the recorded music revenue in Sweden.

Look like the biggest Spotify markets are (judging by how many streams the weekly #1 is getting) USA #1 has 1.7 mil (Can't Hold Us) Sweden #1 has 1.24 mil (Can't Hold Us) UK #1 has 0.91 mil (Get Lucky) Germany #1 has 0.648 mil (Can't Hold Us) smallest would be Luxembourg 1,270 for #1 streamed song (Get Lucky) ... Singapore #1 is Give Me A Reason with 16,791 plays Hong Kong #1 is Give Me A Reason with 10,282 plays http://cdn.thenextweb.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/05/Spotify3-730x370.jpg

http://charts.spotify.com/ http://cdn.thenextweb.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/05/Spotify1-730x383.jpg Here's an idea that Apple might consider: ITUNES to come out with the number of SALES on a weekly basis on all Itunes countries. That would be SWEET!!!!

http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/permalink/...VxWwSPy0dF-Mvnw http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/research/40-years-of-music-industry-change.gif RIAA data but i believe the evolution of music consumption in the UK is very similar to the US. http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/uploads/b5/f6/b5f6af568ecda4d000cb04f145cba077/1980.jpg http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/uploads/53/d8/53d8fd7b017d9972ae750e891312738c/2002.jpg http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/uploads/65/02/6502d4bc7e45aa8690c6814602e622d0/2012.jpg SoundExchange is a non-profit performance rights organization that collects royalties on the behalf of sound recording copyright owners (SRCOs — record labels, generally) and featured artists for non-interactive digital transmissions, including satellite and Internet radio. -------- Most of SoundExchange revenue is from Pandora internet radio (which recently announced 200 million registration in the USA).

never say never http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/research/40-years-of-music-industry-change.gif look at the evolution of music consumption. Streaming is the next stage. UK Chart could do something like this: 1 sales = 1 point 100 on-demand streams = 1 point

maybe the UK Chart is waiting until streaming revenue surpass singles download revenue..... At the current rate of growth, streaming revenue will surpass singles download revenue in the USA in about 10 months. Streaming: $1,032.8 million USD (up 59%) Singles Download: $1,623.6 million USD (up 6.7%) Album Download: $1,204.8 million USD (up 12.5%) Physical CD Album: $2,532 million USD (down 18.3%) no idea when it might happen in the UK.

22,558,573 is the new record for the first 24 hours

the record for most views in the first 24 hours is 10.6 million (Justin Bieber) Look like Psy will end up with around 17-18 millions. IT's at 13,838,942 views and with 5 more hours to go.

RIAA 2012 #: Streaming: $1,032.8 million USD (up 59%) Singles Download: $1,623.6 million USD (up 6.7%) at this rate of growth, streaming will surpass singles download in about 9-10 months (sometimes in February of 2014). Though realistically, it will take longer than that because I don't think streaming will grow at 59% in 2013. But with Google, Amazon and Apple poised to launch their version of streaming (Pandora or Spotify), it might speed up this process

hopefully the music video will drop after his concert, which start in 2 and a half hour.

Psy Gentleman MV will be released after his Saturday Concert. The concert starts in exactly 23 hours and 50 minutes from now.

LOL. How many people view this thread in total? 500? This would be a drop in the ocean for Spotify. And look at my posting history, I post some info about Spotify but most of my posts are not about Spotify.

it's about the UK market. I'm using the USA data because I don't have the UK data. But since the USA and UK markets are very similar, I posted that info.
