U.K. SINGLES CHART REVAMPED

6/25/18

The U.K.’s Official Singles Chart will now include video for the first time, and freemium streams have been down-weighted. Video streams from Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube and Tidal will count beginning with the chart published on 7/6.

Previously, free ad-funded streams and those on paid-for subscription tiers were treated equally, with one sale equivalent to 150 streams. Now, 100 subscription streams will equal one sale, as will 600 “free” streams. The new formula applies to audio and video.
