Chart Company License For Free

BPI reports that it now takes an average of 1.3 million audio streams to break into the U.K.'s official Top 40 singles chart and a combined seven million audio and video streams to score a number one.

On top of all of this, of course, you need to sell enough music to make the charts. The average Official Number 1 Single was streamed over 7.3 million times a week in 2022, while you needed 2.5 million streams to make the Top 20 and 1.7 million streams to make the Top 40.

This can be done by contacting either Kantar or the Official Charts Company directly. If you do not have a distributor, you will need to register your release with Kantar directly. Both physical and digital formats can be registered via the free online application called Tornado.

Singles: A number 1 record has sold around 30,000 copies per week. Sales of around 13,000 have been sufficient to hit the top 10. A title selling over 2,500 copies would make the Top 40. These figures have approximately halved since 2002 - more at the no.

How Many Sales Do You Need To Make The Billboard Hot 100? An artist generally needs between 450 and 500 album sales (pure) to make the Hot 100 or Billboard singles chart. For streaming, a musician needs much more: between 562,500 and 1,687,500 streams.

How is the Official Big Top 40 from Global chart compiled? The Official Big Top 40 from Global is compiled from a mix of Apple Music streaming and iTunes sales data from across the week, plus airplay data from the radio stations which the show is broadcast on.

You don't want your song to suddenly explode on Spotify or social media to discover that it is not registered for the charts, not only will you miss out on sales but you'll miss the exposure that chart shows, both on television and radio, will give you.

For albums, all official audio and video streams (SEA) from within the US are counted in addition to TEA and pure sales. 1500 streams = 10 track sales = 1 album sale. In addition, if an album shipped over 1 million copies to stores it can be certified Platinum without all 1 million of these copies being sold.
