Audiomack streams are now factored into the Billboard chart calculations.
The youth-driven streaming platform announced the change yesterday, confirming its US data will be incorporated into Billboard U.S. and global charts.
These will include the Billboard Hot 100, Billboard 200, Artist 100, and Billboard Global 200 charts.
Audiomack streams began informing the charts during the January sales tracking week. The data will be based on streams from Audiomack’s subscription tier and ad-supported tier, and will contribute toward the RIAA’s Gold, Platinum, and Diamond certifications.
The news comes more than two months after Rolling Stone announced it would include Audiomack streams in its chart tallies.
Audiomack also announced on Tuesday that it had inked licensing agreements with Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment. According to Variety, the platform has more than 17 million monthly active users and reportedly reached 1.5 billion plays per month at the end of 2020.
