well. Your country is your account lmao. The sales in real life are now counted in SPS (Sales + Streaming). Sales are the pure sales of the album/song and streaming sales are based on the number of points of an album/single.
We created a system where you can simulate the sales of the music you listen so the Number of plays is equal to the number of pure sales and the number of points is equal to the streaming sales.
If you want a formula I can give you the weights I use to calculate all the sales in my charts.
1. Go to settings and then go to certifications, select 'plays + points' as the method to certificate sales
2. Then put the number of sales you want for each certificate (the standard method is 500.000 Gold, 1.000.000 Platinum, 10.000.000 diamond)
3. Now go to the 'Weights' section to set the number of sales 1 play and 1 point is equal to.
4. For albums I use these weights:
1 album play= 2501 pure sales
1 album point= 1501 streaming sales
Ex: Sweetener by Ariana Grande
301 plays= 752.801 pure sales/downloads/digital sales (call it what you want)
1508 points= 2.263.508 streaming sales
SALES + STREAMING= 3.046.329 SPS
For songs:
1 song play= 9999 pure sales
1 point= 2501 streaming sales
With these weights, No Tears Left To Cry is the best selling song ever in my country with over 8M sold SPS. The song spent 32 weeks on chart and is on its way to get the x9 platinum certification in the next few weeks.
