Guest Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 After seeing all the threads about ROM and Spotify, i was wondering on Friday when Chromatica is released. How will this count to the sales ? Will the streams she'll get on Spotify and Apple Music count as sales ? Also will the digital album sales count ? Sorry, I'm just unaware of how these services work. I still buy physical Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramatica 13,690 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 1. Don't capitalize all the letters in Chromatica (it's not ARTPOP ) 2. Supporting with stream is difficult, there's a ratio to that https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Album-equivalent_unit I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time.

As far as I know yes, track sales count for album charts. Just so you know, Billboard implements a different algorithm when it comes to streaming: “[This chart] will now include two tiers of on-demand audio streams. Tier 1: paid subscription audio streams (equating 1,250 streams to 1 album unit) and Tier 2: ad-supported audio streams (equating 3,750 streams to 1 album unit)” So streaming on Spotify has way more value than free YouTube for instance https://completemusicupdate.com/article/billboard-decides-1250-streams-equals-one-album-sale-so-long-as-the-listener-was-paying/ I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time.
