What kind of streaming should I do? Whats the difference?
Methods of streaming all weigh differently, it effects the overall outcome of chart placement on what you decide to use. A bought song weighs more than a paid streaming service single stream which weighs more than a free streaming service stream. Use the most weighted form available to you, even if it is only free streaming.
ex:
an iTunes purchase weighs more than a Spotify Premium stream which weighs more than a YouTube video view/stream
ex (numerical):
160,000-165,000 paid streams = 1 Billboard chart point
260,000-265,000 free streams= 1 Billboard chart point
How do I properly stream on Apple Music?
