SPOTIFY DEBUTS SUITE OF WEEKLY CHARTS

Spotify has officially launched its new Weekly Music Charts. With this expansion, fans and artists can see what music is currently having the most impact around the world, including data on new singles and—for the first time ever—album releases.

The new Weekly Top 50—which will show the biggest albums and tracks globally each week from Friday through Thursday—includes the U.S. Weekly Album Chart, Global Weekly Album Chart, U.S. Weekly Song Chart and Global Weekly Song Chart.

The U.S. Top 10 Debuts and Global Top 10 Debuts lists, which incorporate data from the first 72 hours a song or album is live, will also depict the biggest new releases on the platform from Friday through Sunday.

With new charts dropping every Monday, all of Spotify’s charts will live exclusively on @SpotifyCharts Twitter page, with more charts being added in the coming months.

In a related story, the new PMRC/Billboard chart technology is said to involve a state-of-the-art dartboard.
