After reading a convo between SusieFierce and Gelly earlier this morning on Twitter...I wonder Since Nile is on Idol tonite..I'm gonna watch for sure......then tomorrow his new single and video will be released and he's with Warner.......just wondering if maybe Adam's video might release the same day as the single....and if it might be on a day other than a Tuesday. The song and video at the same time might leave the fandom DED for sure. lol Susie Fierce SusieFierce 28m28 minutes ago So Nile's single and vid will debut tomorrow. On a Friday. It has been set for that date since announcement months ago. Gelly @14gelly 25m25 minutes ago SusieFierce So at this point how can we know if A's single will drop Tuesday or Friday Susie Fierce SusieFierce 23m23 minutes ago @14gelly We won't know until they announce but Derulo's debuted on a Monday. So did CRJ's. Riri's on Sunday. Itunes sales Tues is only rule Gelly @14gelly 23m23 minutes ago SusieFierce Ohhh so it could be any day really. Thank you! Susie Fierce SusieFierce 22m22 minutes ago @14gelly I do want vid and debut to be at same time though.

If you play a song via Spotify (a streaming service) and it is not a song you have downloaded to your device then you are streaming it. If you have downloaded it and it "lives" on your phone/ipad/computer then you are merely playing the song and those plays are not tracked for use on the BB charts. Ex: I own a lot of CDs, recent ones even, but rather than carry them all around with me I play them through spotify while I am at work. Those plays count towards the streaming of the album/songs because I have never downloaded them from spotify as I purchased the hard CD instead.
Thanks glitter...AND...now you opened up something I had no clue about!!! (If I buy from itunes, streaming/tracking does not count on my devices.) What if I buy on my desk top and then do not sync it with my ipad etc. It means Spotify streams on my desktop will not count, but on my ipad it would? Or it synchs with all my same email address devices? Also I buy CD's albums and purchase itunes albums and singles. If I get you correctly...buying a CD for an album still allows streaming to impact on tracking numbers. But with this new counting system and singles coming out before the album...t here is obviously no CD to buy with a single. Are we screwed? What do you suggest:
a. Should we or should we not not buy the single on itunes, (as you mention...no amount of streaming then counts)? b. If we buy on itunes, is that worth more in the end than all streaming counts? Thank goodness we have some time to sort out the best approach.... ....and get confident about the steps to take.
I think Glitter was saying that if you've bought the music (on iTunes or wherever) and just PLAY it on your device, then it isn't countrd as streaming because it isn't streaming. If you STREAM the music throug Spotify, YouTube, a radio station, or whatever, then it would count as streaming whether or not you own it and have a physical copy. So you can still buy the music and play it on your device, and it counts as a (one-time) sale. And you can stream it from a streaming service, and each time you do that it counts as a stream (assuming it's one of the services Billboard is using to determine chart placement). Since it takes a lot of streams (1,000?) to count as a sale, buying is still important! So, to sum it up, you can buy the music and have it on your device to play any time. That's one sale. You can also stream the music throug Spotify or whatever, even if you have the music in your iTunes library, and each stream counts toward a sale in Billboard 's calculations. So do both.

I don't have access to the twitter conversation, but Nile chose this release date for personal reasons - the equinox and solar eclipse occuring on the same day.

Thanks csquared... That clarification/explanation helped! I will buy on iTunes, but stream it through Spotify....not itunes, once I load it. Got my Shazam done ...but Spotify is next.

TheBlot Magazine @theblotmag 22m22 minutes ago Who's a closet #ginger? @channingtatum @adamlambert #NicoleKidman & more bit.ly/1EvklhV THE UNHOLY LEGION OF CLOSET GINGERSChristian Cintron | March 19, 2015 (Adam mention)Glambert is a closet ginger? Who knew?! (Wikipedia photo) The new Queen frontman is well-known for his raven locks, guy-liner and edgy androgynous fashion choices, but one of his best kept secrets is that he’s a full-on redhead. Before he was an “American Idol” heartthrob, Lambert was a cute and chubby red-haired singer. Once the weight came off, the black came on his eyes, hair, nails and more, though as only his groupies can attest, red is his natural color. It just goes to show you what hair dye, makeup, spray tan and a punk makeover can do in preventing ginger recognition.

I'm thinking he followed Duran Duran and Simon because Nile has worked with them in the past few months on their new album.

Yes, Evergreen, you're right....Nile picked the release day way back because of the Equinox, etc...... I think they were just commenting that the days chosen aren't set in stone as a Tues...and a video might debut on the same day as the single.
I think I may be confusing what to do to help the single versus what to do to help the album later on. Other than buy one DL of the first single from Itunes (or gift some that somebody will DL so they'll count as sold) and buy another DL from Amazon....that's all I can "buy" now. So, streaming the single, or an occasional Shazam, does exactly what? Will the single rise up the Billboard charts or itunes charts, etc. based on purchases of DLs and streams? 1,500 streams count as one album sale.......I understand that.....and 10 DLs of a single counts as an album sale. But how many streams = a single DL? But all the album charts, sales, ranking, etc. will happen later when the album is released. Seems talk of singles and albums is all mixed together. So, seems, right now.....we should only be concerned about the new single.....right?
