Drin Lon 7,875 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 So somebody that knows all the T about charts, do they? According to this article:ย https://pitchfork.com/news/billboard-charts-change-to-count-paid-streams-more-than-free/ย , it sound like untilย lately they didn't but now they do, but onlyย half as much as paid services' streams. Is this right? For example, will the streams from Idol's music video count for BTS's album chart position in the USย ย Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necca 166 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Yes, but only the views from the US, and they are weighted less than the paid streams from Spotify Premium, Apple Music paid subscriptions etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEANUS 11,175 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Yes, streams became a factor at the end of 2014 I think. Aย certain number of streams of an albumโs tracks over the streaming services = an โequivalentย unitโ of an album.ย I wanna say itโs like 1,000 streams = 1 unit or was like that at one time but idk for sure now. @Arturoย is good at the conversions British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Life 118,907 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Mess at everyone saying yes. No. YouTube doesn't count on the albums chart.
