But the stream totals included in the BB article can't include video streams. If we use that 395M stream total for Bad Romance provided by BB, the song would only be at 9.85M SPS (and that's using 100 streams = 1 sale - if we use the updates 150:1 used by the RIAA from 2016-present, that SPS total would be even lower). Since we know that Bad Romance is 11x Platinum, it's clear that that number BB provided simply can't include YouTube. I can't speak to the accuracy of @GuusLima's YouTube numbers for every song other than those from ASIB since the YouTube charts page only goes back 12 months, but the streaming numbers BB provided definitely do not include YouTube. :huh:

 

This can't be right, they only use US streams. Do you have receipts for this?

 

It's well known those certifications for Bad Romance/Baby going Diamond were fishy, and probably included WW streams.

 

It only sold 5 million up to 2013, yet was certified 10x Platinum, indicating 500 million streams.

500 million streams in US by 2013 is impossible. It only had 550 million views on VEVO in total, and Spotify was new.

 

Bieber's Baby only sold 4 million up to 2013, and was certified 12x Platinum, indicating 800 million streams.

 

The song had only 850 million views on VEVO at the time, and again, Spotify was new and Apple Music didn't exist yet. There's no way it could've gotten 800 million streams in America alone.

But how the hell could they have gotten away with awarding such incorrect records? :skull: The unprofessionalism...and the fact that they never fixed it if this is true. :rip:

I don’t believe it is... RIAA seems to be strict about all of this. I’m pretty sure Billboard’s numbers didn’t count video streams

I'd like to agree, but iHype. does bring up some really good points. It's just a mess it seems, I wish Billboard specified to prevent this whole confusion. :skull:

Then explain how Applause did 232 million audio streams in America, when it has only 196 million streams globally on Spotify :rip:

Billboard would've specifically put on-demand audio.

 

On-Demand video streams exist too (VEVO). Whenever they just put 'on-demand streams' they are referring to audio + video combined.

Quote

Drake was the king of streaming in 2018, as he finished the year as the most-streamed artist in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music. The superstar collected 11.13 billion on-demand streams for his catalog of songs (in both audio and video streams) -- a yearly record for an artist, surpassing his own record of 6.4 billion in 2017.

 

Drake’s streams were fueled greatly by the success of his album Scorpion, which generated 4.57 billion on-demand audio streams -- the most-streamed album of 2018. (Meanwhile, the set’s songs collected another 1.76 billion in on-demand video streams.)

What a mess. :skull: Well, here's a more accurate US SPS list then given the new info. (The only ones that are exactly accurate are Million Reasons and the ASIB tracks, since the RIAA used 100 streams = 1 sale prior to February 2016 - I think the rest should be higher because of this.)

 

Poker Face: 9,646,667
Bad Romance: 8,533,333
Just Dance: 8,513,333

Born This Way: 5,353,333
Paparazzi: 4,386,667

Applause: 4,246,667
Alejandro: 3,316,667
Million Reasons: 2,660,000
Shallow: 1,808,667

Always Remember Us This Way: 721,333

I'll Never Love Again: 666,000

Nielsen probably didnt start tracking streams until like 2011 or 2012. Meaning BR’s 2009 and 2010 streams are not there.

As I said, the numbers I posted are definitely lower than what they should be, so she definitely still has her two diamond singles. Just Dance...well that's up in the air still. ?‍♂️

Ringtones have separate certifications, and cannot be combined with digital sales.

it might just be me but it seems the madonna stan on mediatraffic always underestimates each week to the point where the total sales stand just under a multiple of one hundred. etc- like 496, 1594, 2295. it's his way to visually manipulate the perception of how big the sales are IMO.. 1500 seems much bigger to me than 1498 even though the difference is miniscule.
