YouTube will resume sharing its streaming data with Billboard in 2027, ending a nearly year-long dispute over how music consumption factors into chart rankings. The agreement follows Billboard’s decision to revise its methodology, giving ad-supported streams greater weight. Previously, 1,000 paid streams equaled 2,500 ad-supported streams; under the updated formula, that gap narrows to 1,500. The change restores YouTube’s massive audience of music videos, live performances, and other content to Billboard’s chart calculations.
