Purchasing vs Streaming

I have an Apple Music account, so is it more beneficial for me to stream the song that way than purchase it? I don't think if I buy it I can still listen to it and have it count as playing on Apple Music...

No problem, I mean during the first week your purchase will probably count more than your streams but at least it's more than just the purchase alone :hug:

Purchase. You have to stream a song 100 times to count a purchase

Fixed. There's a refund window, so if you delete it right away, it won't count.

No.

1000 sales are 1 point on billboard

1000 streams are .00833 points on billboard. Please buy it for the most chart points possible.

If I add the song on Apple Music to my iCloud Music Library, the plays will count as streams? :)

Can you please explain further about "after 30 minutes"? :huh:

Thank you both! :D

I'm not exactly sure how long the refund period is, but if you delete the song right after you buy it, you'll get your money back, so the sale for the single won't count. I believe the return period is 15 minutes, but wait 30 just in case. So, buy the single, and then just stream the song or whatever, then delete the purchased song 30 minutes later, and add the AM version to your itunes.

I believe so, when you go onto Apple Music on the song, then press '...' then press the '+', then press the cloud with the arrow on, I think that will count as streams.

EDIT: I think he means if you delete the song within 30 mins of purchasing you will be automatically refunded and your sale won't count.

I plan on buying it on iTunes and Google Play. Does Google Play count for Billboard?
