bardo Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Carta said: Australia has the "maximum of 10 plays per 24-hour period" streaming rule for the charts, too. I can't for the life of me understand why this single is being released on a Wednesday when the chart week runs from Friday to Thursday. I know charts aren't everything, but since this is a thread specifically designed to boost her chances of charting highly, it's relevant to bring it up here. Essentially, anything anyone does on Wednesday and Thursday is going to have minimal impact (since the single is unlikely to attract enough interest in less than 48 hours to have a massive impact anywhere). It's what happens from Friday to Thursday that will make the most difference. Stephen, thank you for spearheading this particular campaign! some have speculated that since friday is a holiday that they're trying to get maximum exposure before that (and apparently taylor is dropping her single so they don't want to wait for the following week). the only other thing i can think of is that they're confident that this will do well long-term and counting on momentum to carry it through the following week. maybe they're not as concerned with a big first week and more interested in peaking later? can't think of another reason. everything else seems to have been planned very carefully.

datf Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 is there any way i can route my plays to the usa instead, cause my country doesn't really have a chart anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karma Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 We need to stream the hell out of MEDELLÍN on Spotify, Madonna fam! Maybe we should create a forum playlist when the song comes out. Medellín Madonna hit Medellín Madonna hit Medellín Madonna hit ...You catch my grift. Your customized playlists don't qualify as spam/auto-generated plays, so it's all good. When it comes to the YouTube video, please do not hit replay when you finish, instead refresh the page, or type MADONNA MEDELLÍN in the search bar again, so every single view will count. Most of all, spread the word and enjoy the music!!!. We all want to support M but never forget that charts are just an indicator of popularity, not quality or artistry, so don't get too caught up in the numbers and celebrate this moment.

Carta Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Only 10 streams per day count for charting purposes, though (in many countries), regardless of whether it's on a playlist or not. We'll all listen to it way more times than 10 in a 24-hour period, but only those first 10 listens will count towards your country's chart (and in Italy etc. they won't count at all unless you have a Premium account). It was the same with physical copies (and still is for the album chart) - multiple copies on the same receipt of the same product are excluded from the charts ("multiple" varies from region to region - in Australia, it's "more than three copies of an identical product"). I'm in no way trying to put a dampener on any of this - we just need to be aware of what will actually count towards the charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not do continued streaming for hours on end as this is likely to be discounted!!! Ten streams on each channel over 24 hours then enjoy the download!!!

Streaming is by far the dominant force in Australia (Pink was #1 in sales for weeks recently but missed the Top 10 for the first time in her entire career with a lead single because it barely scraped the Top 40 on the streaming chart). Nothing from RH came anywhere near entering the Top 100 in Australia, so I'd be over the moon with a Top 40 entry here, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's talk of diminishing the value of such plays (i.e. more weight will be given to plays that are specifically chosen by a listener, rather than those that are generated from random playlists, which makes sense), but that's not a rule yet.

jonski43 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 @Stephen the information pinned on page one is incorrect isn't it? There's a ten play limit per 24 hour period for Spotify and YouTube and possibly other platforms. Constant plays will be discounted. I thought you were going to update it?
