Damn how many streams will Taylor have for the whole tracking week?  Just casually getting 10 Million YT on a Monday US. That not including Spotify or AM? Will this be close to 100 Million US streams?  

 

I THINK 80 is completely realistic

She is at around 30M on Youtube with 3 days left

She is at 11.8M on Spotify with 2 days left

She is back at #1 on Apple Music

 

Apple Music will be the wildcard. Do we know what the #1 is usually pulling over there?

Despacito is up to ~ 200 M Spotify streams. Counting other ODS websites, as well as streams from Vevo and YT, how many domestic streams has Despacito received since its release? I'm trying to determine whether or not it might win the first streaming-heavy Diamond award for a single. With 3 M in sales, Despacito needs 1.05 B streams. With 3.5 M in sales, Despacito needs 975 M streams. 3 M looks like it's in the bag, and 3.5 M isn't necessarily out of reach. Closer wasn't selling this much past the 2 M point. I don't remember JT's sales after 30 weeks, but with ~367k his first week, he didn't need to keep selling 80/week for so long to get his totals up.

Her lyrics video pulled 7m in the US first day. Frankly I'm surprised she only got 10m for both lyric and official MV on monday given how massive the official video was.

 

hopefully we get 45m  on youtube, 15m on spotify, is it too much to ask for 10m from others? I really want her to top Despatico peak streaming numbers at 69.6m

 

at peak: (June 16-22), Despacito pulled 28.3m from Youtube, 15,8 from Spotify, 25.5 from others (???)

So they are about equal on spotify, hpoefully the youtube number advantage will push her over Despacito

The Hills will be the first streaming heavy song to go diamond

[blackbeatxx]

What was the last song to get over 1k points?

How many streams has The Hills amassed? And, does The Weekend's label keep up well with his certifications?

JT's Feeling? He sold ~ 367k his first week, but his streams were rather weak. Edit -- I went back and corrected week with weak.

The Hills was certified 9x platinum just last month, on July 14th. It's not in the Spotify top 200 at the moment, but it's probably pretty close, seeing as it snuck in for a day (August 13th) recently at #198. Looking at YouTube, it got 1,079,804 streams during the last full tracking week (8/18 - 8/24), which equates to 7.2k units.

Well, Despacito could become the first song since CITW 97 to attain a Diamond certification while still charting on the Hot 100. Technically, John's song was 11XP, and the Diamond certification wasn't introduced until about two years after his song charted. UF was eligible, but not yet certified. UF is now probably 1.2X Diamond. Will Robson/label certify it once more to tie the 1.2X Diamond record?

How many streams does Despicito have? It's around 200 M on US Spotify.

He wasnt close.

 

Pretty sure that Hello was the only song over 1k since I do predictions

[blackbeatxx]

Update!

Look... at 1.94 mill US, 5.9 mill WW

 

Logic up to #2 in US

We're getting closer and closer to the 103M Harlem Shake record. I'd say by Summer 2018 it won't have the record anymore for most streams in a week.

HS is the only song to have been over 70M, yes.

I think it will be harder, I mean the closest ones have been Adele's Hello with 60m and then Taylor with 75-80m, the only ones I see breaking that mark are either Justin (If he debuts his new single along with the video) and the same goes for Drake + Taylor and Adele, the other ones don't really stand a chance, at least not with the current numbers they're pulling.

Humble did 67M one week and Despacito peaked at 69M.

I think it's insane how much Streaming has grown in just the past year, let alone since 2014. Work's peak streaming week was 46.5M, and 40M was the marker as a huge streaming week. One Dance led for 10 weeks on the Hot 100 but its peak week at streaming didn't even touch 40M. The last week to use the 40M streaming litmus test was Closer, which spent 12 weeks at #1, with 1 week above 40M and 1 week at 39.5M.

 

Since then streaming had a new litmus at 50M: Black Beatles peaked at 56M, Bad and Boujee made a single week at 50M, and Shape of You made 51M for a week. Then Kendrick broke the 60M barrier for the first time since Adele, and of course Despacito got 8 weeks above the 60M mark. Taylor is gonna break 70M, maybe even 80.

 

So yeah, it seems very possible for a song to break 100M in the not so distant future, since Closer was considered huge with just a single 40M week less than a year ago.

Streaming has really maintained an insane pace of growth for the last few years.
