..except "random" play does NOT indicate popularity and is NOT an album/song "sale".
Sales are in the toilet (what it takes to become a "big seller") because the public is NOT interested.

I thought integrating the streams was bad?

Exactly. If they can’t eliminate random play results then this is meaningless. I do think actual plays in an “all you can eat” plan could be considered if they address obvious issues. What if the “play” is 2 seconds long because the music sux and they bailed. Does that count as a play?
Unless they can ensure full selective plays then they should only include buys.

lol Who in the hell actually goes into a store to buy music anymore? Do those people also use stone tablets for writing, or mail letters? Write checks in the store? (I hate waiting behind those people - they’re usually old and it takes them 10 minutes) LOL
The last music I physically bought was probably 17 years ago, and it was a ‘TAPE’. LOL (nothing but digital media files since)

So-called track equivalent albums in which 10 downloaded tracks equal one album will now also count towards an albums ranking on the chart.
So, using these criteria, whatever album had "Achy Breaky Heart" on it would wind up being #1 for the year, instead of being the #1 single and the #xxx album.
