Artificial Streams/Filtered Streams

Hi! 

I was hoping for help understanding what counts as an unfulfilled stream for a song? I understand it has to be 30 seconds or more but will it count if the songs are played back to back? If not, does there have to be a certain number of songs or minutes between plays to count? 

I like making playlists for my favorite new albums and was curious if the streams were being counted.

Hi ​@thegirlunsure !

 

From Deezer page : 

"What counts as a stream?"āˆ’

Any song that is played for 30 seconds or more will count as a stream.

 

"How do you calculate a skip?"āˆ’

When a user changes track by pressing the next or previous buttons or by selecting a new song, it will count as a skip. Any song that is listened to for less than 30 seconds will also count as a skip.

 

"What is a Daily Listener and how do they differ from daily streams?"āˆ’

Daily listeners are the unique number of people who are listening to music each day, whereas streams are the total number of times song has been played (for at least 30 seconds) each day. For example, if five people each listen to track five times, it counts as five daily listeners and 25 daily streams.
