How we count streams

See your stream counts on the Music tab in Spotify for Artists.

• Song stream: Counted when someone listens for 30 seconds or more
• Video stream: Counted when someone streams the music video for 30 seconds or more
• Release stream count: All song streams from the release added up
  Note: If a song appears on multiple releases, it counts towards the stream count on every release.
• All-time streams: The total number of times your song or release has been streamed on Spotify. Music video streams (30 seconds or more) count towards the all-time streams for the associated song and any release the song is on
• All-time video streams: The total number of times your music video has been streamed on Spotify. A video stream is only counted when the video is streamed for 30 seconds or more
• Downloaded music: We count streams when the listener goes online (which must happen at least once every 30 days)

Your total streams in Spotify for Artists include songs where you’re credited as a main artist or remixer.
