HighlightsBritish and American artists take over the Top 10 YouTube music video charts in the UKAWAL signs a young singer-songwriter with a 100+ listener to follower ratioSoulCycle teams up with singer Ciara to make their latest Apple Music featured playlistMissionGood morning, it’s Jason here at Chartmetric with your 3-minute Data Dump where we upload charts, artists and playlists into your brain so you can stay up on the latest in the music data world.DateThis is your Data Dump for Wednesday April 3rd 2019.Charts For the week ending March 28th, the Top 10 YouTube music videos in the United Kingdom were ruled by both the British and the Americans, splitting them in half.British hip-hop producer Steel Banglez took the #1 spot at 1.5M views that week with the smooth video “Fashion Week”, which opened in the #1 spot.Two grime artists, Russ and Tion Wayne, took the #2 spot, on the YouTube channel GRM Daily, which bills itself as the “epicentre of UK urban culture”, which itself has accumulated over 1.7B views.The #3 spot is taken by British MC and producer Wiley, which features none other than actor Idris Elba dropping bars, with the infectious “Boasty” music video. If you’re a fan of Elba’s movie work in Thor, Pacific Rim or The Dark Tower, check out the video which just spent its third week on the chart with just over 1M views.Rounding out the list are Americans Maroon 5, Ava Max and YNW Melly in their own videos, but in a 1-2 UK-US punch at the #9 spot, Sam Smith and ex-Fifth Harmony member Normani star in the beautifully-shot “Dancing with a Stranger” music video.Artist Highlight in the NewsOn April 1st, Music Business Worldwide announced the signing of British singer-songwriter Millie Turner to AWAL, Kobalt Music’s recorded music services company.Turner is an 18-year-old sporting a relaxed electro-pop sound, which fits the AWAL roster quite nicely, and surely they noticed that despite Turner’s Spotify follower count hovering under a humble 4K, she has over 406K monthly listeners, which gives her a listener to follower ratio of 104, signalling to all algorithms ever made to put her in every playlist imaginable.She only has six tracks released on the major platforms, with a curiously strong focus only on Spotify playlists, as she is only on 5 Apple Music ones and 2 Deezer playlists, while being on 51 of Spotify’s.Turner seems to be slowly growing her exposure, by featuring tracks like “Eyes on You” and “Night Running” on mid-tier playlists like “New Music Friday UK” at 703K followers and “Indie Pop” at 837K.Resonating most in Central to Eastern Europe, she seems to have found quite the following in Istanbul, as she’s increased her monthly listener count from roughly 3K to 23K in the past year, over a 570% increase. Turkish summer tour? We’ll have to wait and see. Playlist Round-Up In the latest on the bands and brands front, NYC-based indoor cycling company SoulCycle released the “Sound by SoulCycle x Ciara” playlist.The 15-track Apple Music list runs for 1 hour and 5 minutes and rates in the upper halves of the Echo Nest Energy and Danceability charts, which would perfectly compliment a 60-minute workout that demands you are in high spirits as you get your sweat on.Atlanta-based singer Ciara of course gets the ability to debut her latest single, “Thinkin Bout You”, in the leading playlist spot, and takes 11 of the 15 tracks reaching all the way back to 2004 to her hits like “One, Two Step” feat. Missy Elliott and “Goodies” feat. T.I. and Jazze Pha.Salt-N-Pepa and Kanye West are mixed into the playlist for good measure, so if you’re into the SoulCycle scene and like some old-school hip-hop and RnB, be on the lookout for this one.OutroThat’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Wednesday April 3rd 2019.

2019-03-21 // YNW Melly on YouTube Top Songs chart, Yaeji at Lollapalooza 2019 and Spotify's "Rock Classics" playlist
2019-03-21 · 04:00
HighlightsYNW Melly’s “Murder on my Mind” hanging strong in the #2 spot on the YouTube Tracks chart in the USNew York City-based producer Yaeji is announced as part of the 2019 Lollapalooza lineupSpotify’s “Rock Classics” playlist grows steadily at 3% in the past monthMissionGood morning, it’s Jason here at Chartmetric with your 3-minute Data Dump where we upload charts, artists and playlists into your brain so you can stay up on the latest in the music data world.DateThis is your Data Dump for Thursday March 21st 2019.Charts“Murder on my Mind”, a track from American rapper YNW Melly has been a mainstay on the recent YouTube Top Songs chart, which consists of 100 tracks that are updated every week.The Florida-based rapper released the YouTube video in Aug 2018, and it currently stands at 148M views, with 12.8M of them occurring for the week of March 8th to the 14th. It sits in the #2 spot on the Top Songs chart.This particular YouTube chart differentiates itself from the YouTube Top Music Video chart however, since tracks can also be uploaded by other users in what’s called user-generated content, or UGC. YouTube Content ID, the system that automatically detects audio, will then attribute any UGC views to the same track, which is why “Murder on my Mind” has 12.8M views on the Top Songs chart, and only 8.2M on the Music Video chart.Last month, news broke that Melly was arrested for murder charges in Miramar, Florida, which likely was a major factor in keeping the track popular in YouTube views, given its suggestive title and subject matter. “Murder on my Mind” continues a 29-week run on the Top Songs chart, which thus far peaked on February 20th.Artist Highlight in the NewsYesterday on Instagram, Lollapalooza announced its 2019 lineup, which will take place in Chicago’s Grant Park on August 1st to the 4th.On the official Lolla lineup poster, on 13th line down, is Queens-born, Brooklyn-based DJ/producer Yaeji, whose low-key banger “raingurl” is currently on 265 Spotify playlists and 59 Apple Music playlists.She is featured on Spotify’s “Soultronic” playlist, which has 130K followers, as well as one of Apple Music’s premiere “A-List” playlists, entitled “The A-List: New Artists”.Yaeji’s underground electronic sound has a smaller audience than some of her Lollapalooza peers, but it’s a loyal one: with 135K followers on Spotify, and 627K monthly listeners on the platform, that gives her a listeners to followers ratio of 4.6.So while Lolla headliner Ariana Grande has a 2.0 ratio and fellow headliner Childish Gambino has a 2.5 ratio, Yaeji’s 4.6 suggests her smaller fanbase seems to keep coming back for more listens...and will probably get some Lollapalooza tickets to boot.Playlist Round-Up Who says rock is dead? Spotify’s premiere rock genre playlist entitled “Rock Classics” hangs strong as the 11th most followed playlist on the platform at 5.3M followers.Over the past 28 days, it’s gained 164K followers (or 3%), recently passing up Hot Country in 12th place and hip-hop playlist Get Turnt in the 10th spot.Rock Classics is a personalized playlist, so the song selections and positions may differ on your profile, but you can find tracks the in the ballpark of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the Eagles’ “Hotel California” and home of one of the most iconic American guitar riffs, “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns and Roses.The playlist tends to be energetic with the majority of the 150 tracks rating a 90 or higher in the 100-point Echo Nest Energy scale, so it should be good for parties and taking the car out for a spin.It’s obviously a catalogue-focused playlist, so don’t think of pitching any new music here, but if you work with classic repertoire, this might be one to shoot for before they update, which usually happens on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.OutroThat’s it for your Daily Data Dump for Thursday March 21st 2019.
