Thanks, Q3, on the new music info...I believe I can manage your suggestions!! I'm going to enlist my GD and her friends who have Spotify, etc to help. If they want to go see him live again, he'll need a hit or two.

One of my favorite playlists is called Deep Dark Indie. It was created by Spotify and it has some fantastic songs.

Q3, I think some will be confused by your statement, several times, that all streaming services count. They don't! If anyone uses Pandora, please get ready to use something else if you want to use streaming for promoting the single and album! I recommend Spotify or Rdio, both very easy to use! Billboard considers the updated system to be the biggest shift in methodology since it began tapping Nielsen's SoundScan for absolute sales in 1991. With SoundScan, charts are based on point-of-sale data, not easily manipulated surveys of record sales, reports The New York Times.
For its measurements, Nielsen will feed statistics from "all of the major" on-demand services, including Apple's Beats Music, Spotify, Google Play and Xbox Music. Ad-powered platforms like iTunes Radio and Pandora will not be included in the algorithm. Under the new formula every 1,500 streaming plays count as one album sale. SoundScan and Billboard will also include "track equivalent albums" in which one album sale is equal to ten individual track downloads.

Someone asked the other day about Amazon Prime streaming music. Does anyone know if that counts? And does the free version of rdio count, or just the paid version?
