This isn't "my" data exactly, I pulled it from Chartmetric — they show on each album page the playlist reach of all the songs on that album. If that's incorrect, well...they have some fixing to do it seems. I do see your point about how playlisting of individual songs from some of the albums in the OP are greater than the album's overall playlisting showed in the OP, which is odd, but that raises the question — is it the album playlisting that's incorrect, or the individual song playlisting? Or perhaps as another user mentioned, is it just that some of those songs are on the same playlist, and that playlist is only counted once for the entire album? I don't think you can claim that the numbers shown are "incorrect" when the reality is the numbers you shared in your first post in this thread are just as likely of being wrong. 3 minutes ago, Sept said: Unfortunately these data is not available for free users / non-industry people. The rest of your post makes points, but this is the ultimate takeaway here — since we don't have a way to drill down into the nitty gritty data that would really shed light on all this accurately, we have to make these comparisons with the surface level data we do have available. At the end of the day, this is just a small piece of the puzzle, made even smaller by the fact that we only have this type of surface level data to work with.
John Slayne Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 Chromatica kinda tanking considering it's playlist reach. But the rest of her discography seems organic

Chartmetric has never explained how they define "playlist reach" of a certain album / artist. And it's very likely what was explained here, which makes the comparison between playlist reach vs cumulated streams invalid (as pointed out why earlier). The individual song playlisting is likely to be correct. Just take an example of 1989, on All Out 10s (a Spotify playlist with 7M listeners), there are 4 songs on that playlist (Blank Space, Wildest Dreams, Style, Bad Blood). That already accumulates to 28M playlist reach from only 1 playlist. So it's unlikely that 108M would be the total playlist reach of all the tracks.
