Sweden has a pretty good system imo
Calculation Model - Streaming on the album chart:
1. A number of listenings on all tracks on an album * / (divided by) the number of tracks on the album = Average number of listenings to the album
2. Average number of listenings album / (divided by) conversion factor (X) ** = number of 'streaming albums ", calculated to album chart
* Note that this only relates listenings directly from a specific album.
** For antitrust reasons communicated to the conversion factor / value (X) in terms of music sales.
