Hi Martin!
In case you haven't notice it, this isn't an ATRL-like board full of fanatics spreading nonsense online. We focus on bringing an accurate picture of the music industry, miles away from the "bias" garbage you seem to live on.
Reissues are added to their initial release year, as shown by your own example with Future Nostalgia's Moonlight version present in 2020 although the extended reissue came in 2021. Sie7e+ is the reissue of Sie7e, which is a 2019 album. If you take a minute to check, you'll see that for 2019 only albums at 1b+ are listed, and Sie7e+ isn't even close to this mark, so it's logically not there.
Hi Obro!
At my end no unless I would go on tricky and specific developments, luckily for us Spotify have now put the streams in the extended reissue! I'm not really sure if the 3m streams are lost for good or if they were added, most likely they are lost, but at least from now on the total will add to itself!
About CSPC updates, we won't stop them, they will follow a distinct queue than new studies 🙂
What is up with all the down voting? It’s a obvious flaw in the tracking of that list in my opinion.
Hi Kalmanta!
I can't answer instead of others and I don't vote comments myself, but I disagree with the idea of not counting averages per track being an "obvious flaw". The thing is, in a streaming world the consumption unit is time. If you listen to music every day with your headphones when going to work and returning home, you will listen to as many tracks as enabled by your travel time. If you listen to music at home, you will put in a playlist or listen to music while playing a video game or doing your homeworks, here too you won't stop because you ended an album, but because your session of what you are doing is over.
Entire albums are mainly listened to by fans, and fans play records on repeat. If an album has 10 songs and the other 20, chances are fans of the former will stream the album 2 times more than fans of the latter, simply because it has half the songs. Then there are hit singles, an album era is the same singles promotion-wise no matter how many songs there are (basically 1 song is issued every quarter while they continue to be successful).
As you can see, no matter if you are a fan playing the album on repeat, a casual listener streaming a song from a playlist, or a regular listener who uses a specific time session to listen to something, albums will get a similar amount of streams if they have 12 tracks or 15 or 18. A difference can be noticed mainly on first weeks as people out of curiosity listen to the album completely and stop when the album is over, but this represents a tiny amount of streams when all is said and done.
Basically, weighting totals by the number of tracks would distort the real success of these albums more than it would fix it. At best weighting by the average time tracks last rather than how many there are would make sense. In 40 minutes you can easily stream 15+ Beatles' songs for example, while you won't stream nearly as many songs from Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin.
hi guys where is nicki minaj - pink friday? it surpassed 1b streams (complete edition, with bed rock).
Would Trilogy by The Weeknd be possible to put here or would that be considered a compilation type album.
Hi JaMSpam!
It is indeed considered a compilation, House Of Balloons does chart on its own at #14 of 2011!
Hi Hanswurst!
This is an interesting case. Our tracker identified 2 IDs with 700m+ streams:
- Pink Friday (Complete Edition) at 908,302,254 (id 7aADdYLiK1z7GlMFr0UIZw)
- Pink Friday (Deluxe Edition) at 903,706,109 (id 4cIAp0fnyPfICPqELp7LSH)
When we check by the Spotify software yet, it does add for 1.1 billion, with the difference coming from BedRock. It's a very atypical situation: although it's present on her album and sang by her, BedRock is not credited to Nicki Minaj by Spotify, which is why our system shows 908 million. We do control that the artist ID is correct to avoid adding to our streaming tool streams from other artists who participated to the same Soundtrack for example. It also makes me think that some soundtracks may show incomplete streams there if the artist credited for a song isn't the same as the artist credited for the album. I'll see if I can technically fix this!
yall are setting the bar too high for other statics sources, I dont think anybody can top this.
Hey, here are some albums for the 60s:
682M - The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)
670M - The Rolling Stones - Aftermath (1966)
664M - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - United (1967)
657M - Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced (1967)
638M - The Beatles - Please Please Me (1963)
628M - Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland (1968)
616M - The Beatles - Rubber Soul (1965)
These 2 Eminem albums seem to be missing:
1.53B - Eminem - Revival (2017)
1.85B - Eminem - Music To Be Murdered By - Side B (2020)
The album "Combat Rock (Remastered)"('82) by The Clash is double counted, every song appears twice so the streams are 1.5B instead of ~770M.
I don't know what are the rules regarding compilation albums, but since Spider Man OST, Black Panther OST are there, does the 8 Mile OST qualify ?
