Global Chart Guides

STREAMING:

Streaming counts both audio & video streams from music platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, Amazon Music, Deezer, Pandora..etc
Paid streams (premium subscription) generally carry more weight than free or ad-supported streams

SALES:

Digital sales: downloads of singles or albums from platforms like iTunes, Amazon, Stationhead...etc (digital purchases must be downloaded for them to be counted towards Billboard)
Physical sales: purchases of CDs, Vinyl and other formats (limit to 4 copies max per transaction/unique customer)

RADIO AIRPLAY:

Measure how often a song is played on radio stations in the US
Radio Requests, especially Most Requested Live (MRL) are important and contribute more airplays

Top 50 Global: lists the most streamed songs globally on Spotify
Only filtered streams are counted towards Spotify Charts
Each free account can generate only 20 filtered streams per track per 24h. So, to enter the Spotify Global Chart, we need to stream with as many free accounts as possible. (While each account can generate only 20 filtered streams for Spotify charts, it's not the case for premium accounts & Billboard charts. So, we recommend you to maximize the use of your premium accounts by streaming from long playlists instead leaving your premium accounts after 20 filtered streams per day.)

Highlights the most searched songs on Shazam worldwide
Shazam is very important for radio airplays as many radio stations monitor Shazam's Top 200 charts (both global & regional) to find songs that are rising in popularity. This means Shazam can indirectly influence Billboard Hot 100 through radio airplays.

Download the Shazam App on App Store or Play Store & open it
While streaming Lisa's song on another device, tap the Shazam button and wait for the song to be recognized
For Android users: You can Shazam the same song as many times as you want, but you must clear the app data after each Shazam. If you don’t clear the data, only one Shazam per song will count every 24 hours.
For Apple/iOS users: You can Shazam a song once per day per Apple device. To increase counts, use other Apple devices such as Apple Watches, Apple TVs, iPads, and MacBooks.

Track top-streamed songs globally and locally on the Deezer platform
Just like other streaming platforms, Deezer does provide both free and paid subscriptions
Free accounts can stream music only through shuffle mode and with ads. They can also like artist profiles, albums, and songs, as well as add tracks to playlists.
Premium accounts offer an ad-free experience, allow users to play any track of their choice, queue playlists, enjoy HiFi audio quality, and listen offline.
There are also free trials for premium subscription available depending on your where you're from, please click here
It is important to note that premium streams are much more important than free streams for Billboard Charts, so please try to own at lease a premium account for each music platform.
