Regarding catalog music streaming:
"While Current releases are making a significant increase in their share of vinyl sales, the overall consumption of Current* music is down 1.4% over this point last year. This trend is evident in the measurable decline in high impacting new releases overall, which are defined as an album that debuts on the Billboard 200. In Q2 of 2021, there were 126 high impacting releases. By the end of Q2 of 2022, there were only 102.
By contrast, Catalog** consumption continues to rise, with a 19% increase over this time last year. One of the biggest cases of catalog’s continued growth this year has been the massive Kate Bush resurgence thanks to the appearance of her song “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)” in season 4 of Netflix’s hit series “Stranger Things.” The song saw a 16,867% streaming increase between the season premiere on May 27, 2022 and the tracking week ending June 16, 2022, which led to it becoming the most audio streamed song, both within the U.S. and globally at the end of that week. It ranked No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, for the chart week dated June 18, 2022. While songs from decades past are being discovered by younger audiences in the streaming era, it’s also important to note that ⅓ of Catalog streams so far in 2022 have been for songs released between 2017 and 2019.
A reaction to the rise in catalog consumption that can’t be ignored is the high amounts of money investment and management firms are paying to acquire A-list legacy and contemporary artist career catalogs. This year’s most notable examples include the sale of Justin Timberlake’s catalog to a fund backed by private- equity firm Blackstone, Inc, Universal Music’s purchase of both Sting and Neil Diamond’s catalogs, and Bob Dylan’s catalog sale to Sony Music."
Also, the share of catalog album music consumption for the for the 2022 mid-year Luminate report vs. the corresponding report for 2021 rose to 72.4% vs. 69.4%.

'Equivalent album units – for album titles and chart rankings cited below (but not industry volume numbers) – comprise traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sales, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album, or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official and audio streams generated by songs from an album.
Equivalent album units cited for album titles below, and in the “Midyear Top 10 Albums in U.S.” chart do not include user-generated content (UGC) streams. UGC streams are included in Luminate’s industry volume numbers and its midyear song streaming rankings. (UGC streams are not factored into any of Billboard’s weekly charts.)
For the sake of clarity, equivalent album units do not include listening to music on broadcast radio or digital radio broadcasts. All numbers cited in this story are rounded, and for the U.S. only. Programmed streams are not included in any of the data in this story.'

Those HITS charts literally use Luminate's data (same with their Revenue Chart), lol. They just do weird rounding up sometimes which makes no sense. Their weekly Top 50 Albums and Streaming Songs chart are just estimated or use Alpha Data or something else, but the ones published above are too similar.
Also the video streams this year are WAY more than last year's, which is counterintuitive as YouTube continues to die. Note that MRC Data last year also included UGC if you tracked Billboard's official streaming numbers throughout the year for the top songs. I'm pretty sure it was both non-song + song but I can't remember well.
I think YouTube Shorts are being included for "UGC" now and have had a huge impact on video streaming numbers here, which is basically the TikTok some have wanted to be included, but ofc Billboard doesn't count any of them. The fact that COLDPLAY's damn song is there "Hymn For the Weekend" confirms that, as it has huge YT Shorts views for whatever reason lol

Do they actually include UGC streams in that list/calculation? Or did they mistakenly list them? Because Industry Baby is showing with 296 million streams (the total amount including UGC) yet on the albums list Montero has 50 million streams (clearly the amount excluding UGC and with official-only that Billboard counts).  |
