Youtube  27 May 2023



Different countries have different rules for converting streams into sales.

UK Tracks



Premium Streams - 100 streams = 1 sale
Ad based Streams - 600 streams = 1 sale

UK Albums

Premium Streams - 1000 = album sale
Ad Stream - 6000 streams- 1 album sale

The Top 2 tracks of an album are brought down to the average - so very popular tracks won't 'carry' an album

US Tracks





Premium Streams - 150 streams = 1 sale
US Albums

Premium Streams - 1500 streams = 1 album sale

There are no rules to rectify the issue of one or two tracks dominating sales - and therefore giving false impression of album's popularity.
