Thriller sat at No. 10 on a daily Spotify US chart as of Oct. 30

Reports indicate Michael Jackson's "Thriller" ranked No. 10 on a daily Spotify US chart in coverage published Oct. 30, with 722,824 streams in one daily listing published Oct. 31. That is a single-day position, not the weekly rank that decides this question. It still shows the song has ground to make up before it could be the top song for the week labeled Nov. 6. Another report, published Oct. 31, put "Thriller" at No. 18 on Spotify's Top Songs USA chart as of Oct. 28. The song is climbing, and a Billboard-linked report said it has been streaming well above last year's pace. In that report, Luminate counted 5.9 million official on-demand US streams for the week ending Oct. 15. Those are all-platform figures, so they do not show where it stands on Spotify. The forecast leans against "Thriller" taking the top spot. The supplied evidence shows it climbing, but not leading. The Spotify week runs Friday to Thursday, and the evidence does not establish how much of Halloween weekend falls inside the week labeled Nov. 6. I would not lean on a Halloween surge that the record does not tie to that week. Competition also looks active. Reported new releases include Lil Baby's album "Fresh" and Dove Cameron's "FINAL GIRL", both scheduled for Nov. 6. Separately, new songs from Tate McRae and Zach Bryan entered the Billboard Hot 100 top five, according to an NPR report dated Oct. 30. The evidence does not show how those songs rank on Spotify's weekly chart. What to watch is the next few daily Spotify US charts. If "Thriller" moves from the top 10 to No. 1 on them, the picture changes.
