The move to include streams in the ARIA Singles Chart follows a strong  growth in the total number of weekly audio streams selected by music  fans nationwide.  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p> ARIA Chief Executive Officer, Dan Rosen said &#8220;The music industry has  significantly changed in regards to how music is discovered, consumed  and sold. Over the past two years, audio streaming has grown at such a  rapid rate, that it was only logical that we integrate audio streaming  into the Official ARIA Singles Chart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> The new measure will see the data currently compiled for the ARIA  Streaming Track Chart integrated to form the Official ARIA Singles  Chart. Audio Streams will continue to be calculated from music streaming  services Deezer, JB Now, Rdio, Samsung Music Hub and Spotify.<\/p>\n<p> To reflect the difference in weight between streaming and purchasing,  ARIA has developed an audio conversion rate reflective of the local  market conditions and based on methodology already adopted by the UK and  several European charts.<\/p>\n<p> Dan Rosen added: &#8220;We aim to continuously evolve the ARIA Charts to  ensure that they accurately represent the new ways that Australian music  fans are consuming their favourite music.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> At this stage, ARIA Accreditations will remain sales based and are  issued for singles or albums achieving Gold (35,000 units shipped) and  Platinum (70,000).<\/p>\n<p> The first Official ARIA Top 50 Singles Chart to incorporate streams will  be unveiled on Saturday 22nd November from 2pm-6pm by Take 40 broadcast  around the country on Austereo, and will be published on  ariacharts.com.au at 6pm that evening.<\/p>\n<p> The very first ARIA Streaming Chart was released on the 10th December  2012, which saw &#8216;Thrift shop&#8217; by Macklemore take out the top position  and since then Australia&#8217;s most streamed track is &#8216;Royals&#8217; by Lorde.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\">Source: ARIA<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) is pleased to announce that the Official ARIA Singles&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4775"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4775\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
