Views specifically for "Shake It Off" increased 120%. Meanwhile, her overall audio streams unsurprisingly decreased after Swift left Spotify. Her catalog, excluding her new album*1989, can still be streamed on Beats and Rhapsody under those two service's paid models.
For the week ending Nov. 16, her daily views on her YouTube channel increased again — by 72% week-over-week — because of the Nov. 10 release of "Blank Space."
Even with the uptick in YouTube views, Swift went on to sell*1.287 million copies*of*1989*in its debut week ending Nov. 2, making it the first and only album released in 2014 to earn platinum status, the million-copies-sold milestone. It was the biggest sales week since 2002's*The Eminem Show*has topped the Billboard 200 for three-consecutive weeks now, selling an overall 2 million copies.
Coincidentally this week,*Billboard*and Nielsen announced they would*alter the Billboard 200 albums chart*to now include audio streaming data and download numbers of individual tracks to rank the top albums. Physical sales and paid downloads of full albums will still be part of the formula. However, YouTube views have not been incorporated into the albums chart formula likeBillboard*has already*incorporated*into its singles chart formula.

so does this mean her youtube views wont be included in album placing on the bilboard chart?
