German charts now include airplay

[Supersonic 46,965]

Since December 8, 2020 (effectively also the chart dated December 4, 2020), the German Singles Chart now includes airplay data into its formula. The chart has abandoned its pure revenue based formula. It will also now include data by Amazon Prime Music (its sister service Amazon Music Unlimited has been counted since 2016).

They have, but it's behind a paywall.

No, i'm talking about the official charts. They have a seperate Streaming only chart that is behind a paywall.
