Just taking a look at the very first US Spotify weekly chart posted in this thread, dated 5/26/13, here are some facts that illustrate the rapid growth of streaming:
- The current US #48 has more streams than the #1 on the 5/26/13 chart.
- The current US #1 has 4.52x more streams than the #1 on the 5/26/13 chart.
- Comparing the total plays of the weekly top 50 then and now:
5/26/13 - 34,001,875 1/14/16 - 142,148,768
The total plays of the top 7 alone on today's weekly chart eclipse the total plays of the top 50 on the 5/26/13 weekly chart.
- The number of songs with over 1M plays in a week increased seventeenfold from 6 on 5/26/13 to 102 today.
- F**kin' Problems charted at #33 with 532,637 weekly streams on the 5/26/13 chart. This week, it charts at #151 with 786,999 streams. (it is the only song in that T50 to appear in today's T200)
- The #200 today has more streams than the #21 then.

Break Up In A Small Town re-entered ODS at #49. Die A Happy Man did not. Obviously Spotify's share of the market is shrinking, because Break Up trailed DAHM by a significant margin on that website's chart last week.

Or DAHM could have had really awful AM streams and BUIAST comparatively better ones. We don't know, though, because AM doesn't report numbers.
Obviously Spotify's share of the market is shrinking
It definitely seems to be. I think it's Apple Music, because Don't was really high on that chart last time I checked, and in the On-Demand/Streaming charts it's always higher than you expect if you assume the chart is mostly just Spotify or Spotify + Youtube. I think Apple Music must be getting more popular.
Here are updated totals for TSOS. Lucky Strike and Star Wars were deleted.
Spotify: 6,431,997
Official Video 7,368,078
Lucky Strike deleted
Vengeful 574,146
Maria 148,134
Star Wars deleted
Munger 65,939
Military 6,571
Spanish 35,000
Figueora 104,007
Disturbed Fan 213,851
Oscar 22,298
Rose 1,485
So according to my numbers, the main version of TSOS was watched 1.52 million times in the last week (5.85 million to 7.37 million), and streamed on Spotify about 432,000 times (assuming Spotify isn't behind). The other versions added 45,000 more You Tube streams. But with two big versions now removed, there were likely more video streams I can't account for. I'll stop tracking Rose because that total is so small.
Other versions I'll start tracking, and I hope no others get deleted:
Fragile 13,359
Topolovec 65,801

And, here is a link to a version with drums. I don't know if it's "official" or not, but that would boost airplay at Active Rock (I like the version without these drums a lot better though). I tried to send the video clip using the instructions given by ATRL, but I wind up sharing a broken link. Let me see if I can even share the original.

YOUTH and Hollow's sharp increases are probably at least in part due to their addition to Spotify's Pop Chillout playlist yesterday, which has almost 500,000 followers. I need to start paying more attention to what gets added/dropped from these playlists, as they definitely have impacts (Lush Life was added to a few as well right before its T50 debut).
For some reason, I cannot share You Tube clips. I did exactly what ATRL said to do too.
Don't just copy the entire link and paste, there's a problem with that option. After selecting the "Embed Video" option paste just the code after "v=", for "The Sound of Silence" case it should be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyEjLbw69mI ... pyEjLbw69mI

You can just remove the s in https then it works and you can copy paste the whole link.
