The **Official Audio Streaming Chart** (previously the **Official Streaming Chart**) is a [music chart](/source/Music_chart) based on plays of songs through [audio streaming](/source/Audio_streaming) services (including [Spotify](/source/Spotify), [Deezer](/source/Deezer), [Google Play Music](/source/Google_Play_Music), [Apple Music](/source/Apple_Music) and [Tidal](/source/Tidal_(service))) in the [United Kingdom](/source/United_Kingdom).[1] It features data from both premium and ad-supported services.[2] It is compiled weekly by the [Official Charts Company](/source/Official_Charts_Company) (OCC), and was initially published both on their official website [OfficialCharts.com](/source/OfficialCharts.com) (Top 100), and in the magazine *[Music Week](/source/Music_Week)* (Top 75).

As of the chart dated 12 July 2014 —the date of inclusion of streaming data into the [UK Singles Chart](/source/UK_Singles_Chart)— the Official Streaming Chart was relaunched as the Official Audio Streaming Chart.[3] The Top 100 is published on the OCC website. The first song to top the rebranded chart was "[Sing](/source/Sing_(Ed_Sheeran_song))" by [Ed Sheeran](/source/Ed_Sheeran).

The chart was first launched on 14 May 2012.[4] Its first number one was "[Call Me Maybe](/source/Call_Me_Maybe)" by [Carly Rae Jepsen](/source/Carly_Rae_Jepsen).[5] At the time of the chart's launch, the most streamed artist of the year was Ed Sheeran.[6] Sheeran remarked that streaming services had "always been an important way for [him] to get music out to [his] fans".[7] Martin Talbot, managing director of the OCC, stated that the chart represented "a true coming-of-age moment for music streaming in the UK".[8]

In 2015, an [Official Albums Streaming Chart](/source/Official_Albums_Streaming_Chart) was launched. This uses the same streaming sources as the Official Audio Streaming Chart to measure how many times albums have been streamed each week.[9]
