Nielsen Music / Billboard 200 doesn't include YouTube/VEVO streams because services doesn't host whole albums but only singles. It means album popularity = 0.

XL Recordings uploaded only 'Hello' and 'WWWY' on Spotify. Should Billboard remove this kind of streams (for example if service doesn't include 75% of album's tracks)?

Also BB should use OCC formula to down singles effect.

Yeah they should. Streams of albums shouldn't count either. Streaming is a joke.

Who cares. Adele sold a lot. Whatever streams are added are irrelevant.

Streaming in general shouldn't count to the BB200 at all.

IMO streaming is very important factor but using whole tracks activity is a joke. UK Charts model >>>>

how is it a joke now when you were praising your fave for being the most streamed artist in the US?

You sound a biT pressed chances are even if they remove them she'll still outsell your fave(and everyone's) by 200830983494984 times.

Adele's 25 was just an exampe.

Read WHOLE OP before you write something. 25 was an EXAMPLE

If they do that then they should remove Work's streams which are basically almost the 80% of the streams of ANTI

fffff

yet Anti is still in the top 10 with pure sales

Streams of singles shouldn't be counted IMO. It'd be too messy though

They should definitely remove the singles stream, and they probably will one day or another.

Only full album streams should count. If tracks #1 to the last track are streamed 48435 times, then the album got 48435 streams. If the leadsingle gets streamed 58435 times then the additional 10000 streams should not count towards the album streams, until the rest of the album tracks also reach that number. Because otherwise you get one hit wonders who are able to get a top 10 album, while their overall sales only reached 5000 copies in the future.

The system for streaming is still too flawed.

No, they shouldn't.

I don't get why they haven't done this already. It's the closest thing to a perfect way to include streaming in album charts.
