Figuring out exactly how the world's official music charts are determined can be a complicated business, often with many different factors at play, including downloads, streaming, radio airplay and physical sales. To make things simpler, here's a quick overview of how the music charts are calculated around the world:
The Official UK Chart is calculated by sales as well as both music and video streams, with a variable streaming ratio depending on whether the user has a free or paid subscription. This means that 100 paid streams will equal one sale, as will 600 free streams.
For example, if your track gets 100,000 paid streams across the various online music & video platforms like Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and other, they will be counted as 1,000 sales by the charts and included in your final sales total, whereas you'd need 600,000 free streams to generate that same number. Other sales include both paid digital downloads and physical releases.
The Billboard charts are calculated by several different factors, depending on the specific chart. For example, the Billboard Hot 100 and other genre-based charts take sales, streaming and radio airplay into account.
High-ranking tracks and albums can be driven by one or all of these different avenues, with some of the biggest songs charting thanks to extensive radio airplay, while others climb the charts through their streaming power.
ARIA also state on their website that multiple sales by a single consumer may not be included in the sales total, and that it only accepts digital and streaming sales from certain retailers, including the biggest online major music stores. Here you can see the full list of accepted retailers.
Remember, these charts are not the be all and end all of the music biz. The are plenty of online charts and playlists across iTunes and Spotify that can help to give your track a boost. The key is to build up a following and promote your music as much as possible through press, social media and live gigs. Good luck!
Facing ever-tightening competition, Apple Music has picked up the pace in the last few months. After growing to 50 million subscribers, launching a music-publishing division and hosting a number of exclusive concerts and documentaries on the content side, the music-streaming service is now working on bolstering its offerings in one key area: data.
In addition to radio airplay-focused charts, there are also charts that rank country songs based on their digital sales and streaming numbers, and charts that rank the top country, bluegrass and Americana albums.
The most common form of music notation is sheet music. With sheet music every note that should be played is displayed on staves. Pianists use the treble and bass clef staves although other instrumentalists may use other staves.
Sheet music is used most frequently by classical musicians, and is the most common form of music notation. It is great for capturing a complete musical idea with perfect accuracy as many classical composers desired.
A chord chart displays the chords of a song in addition to the lyrics and/or rhythm of a piece. A chord chart is on the opposite end of the spectrum from lead sheets. Chord charts lend themselves particularly well to a beginner guitarist.
The main difference between lead sheets and sheet music is that sheet music notates every single note. Lead sheets, on the other hand, notate the melody on the staff, but leave it up to the musician to interpret the chords. Lead sheets lend themselves better to creative interpretation, while sheet music eliminates ambiguity.
The main difference between tab vs sheet music notation is that tabs display fret numbers in lieu of notes on a staff. This means that tabs are idiomatic to the guitar, while sheet music is used for any instrument. The key similarity is that both systems notate every single note of the composition.
Sheet music is the most common musical notation system that displays all notes of a composition on staves. Chord charts are a notation system that only display the chords with the lyrics and/or rhythm of a piece. Lead sheets display just the melody and chords. Finally, tabs are used to notate the frets in a guitar composition.
All charts provided here are to be used as an entry-point into a genre, allowing you to gain a basic understanding of what a genre could have to offer. It is recommended that you explore genres on your own after having listened through some of the recommended music. Help with exploring music can be found at the Discovering Music page. Remember that being your own special little snowflake is an encouraged behavior, and you should show this by flaunting your chart and last.fm in peoples faces, filled with music by obscure EAI, Onkyo and field recordings from countries that you can't even pronounce.
In recent years, Billboard has also considered streaming and social interactions on Twitter, Facebook, Vevo, YouTube, Spotify, and other popular music websites like Slacker and Rdio. YouTube was the most recent addition to tracking plays, which worked well for American DJ Baauer. He released his song \"Harlem Shake\" in 2012, having almost no airplay until it became an internet meme in early 2013. This sent Baauer's song straight to the top of the Hot 100 chart for five consecutive weeks. According to Billboard, it was \"the first song to start at the summit by an artist essentially unknown prior to charting.\"
Since Billboard takes social media and streaming into consideration, make sure you're engaging your fans and mentioning your music. Reaching out to fans through social media and having them hashtag your album or track is a great marketing technique to drive album sales and move songs up the charts. 59ce067264
