Does Spotify have music charts?

Yes, it does. Spotify’s charts provide the top 200 songs in 17 genres every week, categorising music based on context from user playlists and editorial feedback.

How is Spotify Top 50 calculated?

The Spotify 50 are the top 50 most-streamed songs in each market over the previous week. FIMI, the society that issues all the figures and certificates, appears to calculate the streams into its “equivalent sales.”

Because of how it is calculated, not every stream on Spotify is eligible for Charts. Depending on streaming patterns, certain songs may have fewer chart-eligible streams than others.
