GoKawiilYouTube to resume sharing streaming data with Billboard in 2027
YouTube will again share its streaming data with Billboard starting in 2027, resolving a dispute that began in December 2025 when YouTube pulled its data over how charts weighted streams. Billboard has revised its formula so 1,000 paid streams now equal 1,500 ad-supported streams for album consumption units, down from a 2,500 ratio previously.
