Conversion ratio between formats: Studio album: sales of the original album (ratio 1/1) Other LPs: sales of compilations generated thanks to the album (ratio 1/1) Physical singles: sales of physical singles from the album (added to CSPC total with a ratio 3/10 for 2-tracks, 5/10 for EPs and Maxis) Digital singles: sales of digital singles from the album (ratio 1.5/10 for CSPC total) Streaming: EAS of all the album tracks (ratio 1/1500 for Audio stream and 1/6750 for Video stream) Source: 0:00 100-76 2:43 75-51 5:27 50-26 8:10 25-1
