This is where to go to ask for an Emperor Maximus plush toy: lacajadelosclicks.com/nuestra-historia/When you go to the site, there is an interesting "About Us" that talks about Jon and Elena's dream for their shop coming to fruition. Perhaps, if enough of us request Adam's character as a plush toy, they could develop it.

Well, I've tried the random streaming thing, and whatever drives the app finds music that I want to listen to, but I'm still confused about how streaming validates an artist's recording (unless there are bonus points for downloading). It all just seems random. On top of that, I replaced my cell phone with a Google Pixel 3 phone. Why use Shazam when my phone automatically identifies music in my background, whether it's what's playing on my car radio, or my being in rehearsal space when the organist is playing a Bach piece? Maybe Google phones are not reporting what I am listening to the powers that be, but doesn't that make Shazam scary? Alrighty so for Adam. Download Shazam anyway and you can either Shazam song by song - or easy if you are playing on your phone you can tell Shazam to Auto Shazam and it will identify every song you hear and tell TPTB that Adam is popular. I'm not finding Google reporting anywhere but it may down the road. If you own an Apple device they bought Shazam last year and Siri can Shazam songs on demand also. Some fans are definitely using the Auto Shazam, songs like Shawn Mendes' If I Can't Have You which is near the top on Pop Rising list is getting close to 20,000 Shazams a Day. New Eyes is getting 1 to 2 hundred. Remember for every 1000 streams (I think that's the number) counts as a song sale for charts and streams are monitized to pay the artist. By random streaming do you mean looking for New Eyes and playing it when you think about it or are you letting the app play whatever it wants to? Apple bought Shazam for visual recognition and AR apps -- the music ID part of the business is now pretty unimportant. They pay artist to recommend fans Shazam their music. It does not directly impact any official charts. (In other words, no reason to Shazam stuff.)
Streaming is a different matter -- it is the most important component of the Billboard Hot 100, and most streams count as sales. Biilboard awards points, then ranks the songs based on total points. I posted about how they calculated this in yesterday's thread.
Streaming also counts for single and album certification -- in the U.S., RIAA Gold = 500,000 sales, Platinum = 1,000,000 sales. Album Award formula is 1,500 on-demand audio and/or video song streams = 10 track sales = 1 album sale. RIAA’s Digital Single Award ratio is 150 on-demand streams = 1 download.
