With data from streaming services soon to be incorporated in gold and platinum certifications, it was only a matter of time before there was a streaming-only chart countdown. And now music platform Spotify have done just that, launching two separate charts.

The first will be a simple rundown of its most played tracks throughout the past seven days, while the second will be the most shared songs via social networking sites. Each country will have their own different version of these.

This follows news that Spotify will start showing play statistics on many new tracks. It’s not yet known whether the company will do the same for albums, or whether or not they’ll launch an albums chart also.
