The catalogue gains Spotify streams while radio airplay changes little. That is this week’s observation; these two movements alone do not explain their cause.
What is growing: catalogue listening
The catalogue qualified by CFO totals 1,072,993 Spotify streams from 20 to 26 October, compared with 1,027,104 from 13 to 19 October. The increase is 45,889 streams, or +4.5 % after rounding.
This measure describes a volume of streams. One person may listen to several tracks or return repeatedly, so it is not a count of unique listeners. The scope comprises 32 qualified recordings, applying CFO’s deduplication rules.
What is holding steady: radio presence
The monitored radio scope records 2,123 plays, following 2,137 the previous week. The decrease is 14 plays, or −0.7 %. Under CFO’s reading convention, an absolute change of less than 1% represents overall stability.
Radio plays measure neither the number of people exposed nor how long they listened. They cannot be added to Spotify streams: the indicators describe different activities.
How to read this comparison
Each change compares two consecutive seven-day periods for the same indicator. The calculation is: (current week − previous week) ÷ previous week × 100. Results are rounded to one decimal place.
The article’s date is the verification date; the measured period ends on 26 October. This snapshot remains dated even if figures in the CFO Observatory are subsequently updated.
