Unlock full updated discography data Table keys

Seq. stands for sequence. It sorts albums in discographic order.
Spotify total reflects release to date (RTD) streams of the track as shown on their software.
Spotify daily is calculated based on streams over the last 1 day(s).
AOD (Audio on-demand) reflects total streams through all AOD platforms, Spotify included. The non-Spotify part is an algorithm based figure which considers the main artist's strength and Spotify shares in each market.
AOD streams divided by 1,500 would provide equivalent album sales (EAS) for the track.
The 'Song' and 'Album' grey fields at the bottom of the table allow filtering on them.
