Is stuff like Tik Tok background music counted?

Don't think so, they said "not views of user-generated content"

It’d literally make almost no difference. 

10 million YouTube views would only count as 3K sales with 1:3750 weighing. Even 30 million views in a week (4 million+ per day) would only be 8K sales.
 
Majority of the #1 songs on YouTube US don’t get 30 million in a week. 
 

That's the ratio they use for Spotify ad-supported?

this + shouldn't they be counting youtube anyway? what's the difference in someone looking up a song on youtube so they can hear it and someone looking it up on spotify?

RIAA already counts YouTube for their certificates so the kats in here celebrating just look uniformed. :rip:

 

Katy couldn’t even get a Platinum certification for Witness.
