In addition  to the single, long-play, compilation and genre charts, a separate  streaming chart has been added to the official charts. The chart gives  the same weight to both ad-supported and paid streams. As Dr.  Florian Dr\u00fccke, BVMI managing director, told Billboard: \u201cWe are  improving the precision of the official German charts as an important  benchmark for measuring artists\u2019 success. Only streamed music with a  length of 31 seconds or more is included. As music is primarily streamed  on a track basis, it will initially only be included in the singles  charts for the time being.\u201d  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>Streaming revenues in Germany grew by 40 percent in 2012, to almost 3  percent of the entire market.
