Hi Mattia !
I have the exact same issues here in my report, being master student in business analytics I have complete control of my streams from both spotify and imusician and can confirm between 5 and 10% streams difference each months, will show stats soon to prove my point…
Here you can see since September 2022 the huge differences between Spotify streams and what Imusician report, I am not even counting the other shops…
Hello, last thread of “Statistics / Trends Streams Variations” pointed out a huge problem with Imusician report and thus royalties…
Here is shown Spotify monthly streams versus Imusician since September 2022. Those are official streams from Spotify, and Official report from Imusician, no corrections are pending thus are truthful representation of what I got as streams/royalties on my account for those months.
I think there is the need to be a transparent discussions and possible compensations for this money loss…
There is not even the other shop, that have some streams (100-200)…
Also, your new subscription model won’t be of any interest if I only get 70-80% of my actual streams, your fees of 0% won’t help me recover these losses
Hi everyone,
I want to try to summerize 
So in my opinion the STREAMING STATS are interesting and we all want to see the correct numbers but we shouldn’t rely on them for what regards expected revenues.
For what regards the REVENUES it would be interesting to know how much the shops pay for streams (and for different streaming times) although it seems that it is not a fixed rate but depends on how much the shops earn by themselves and it doesn’t seem they are really transparent on that but maybe we could have an accurate guess?
My personal conclusion: as long as we take the STREAMING STATS for what they are (an overview) and REVENUES too (real hard data) we don’t need to be worried. We still expect iMusician to work on the accuracy of STREAMING STATS as we all are happy to see the total ammount of streams on a glance without having to check all the single shops.
A post was split to a new topic: I don’t understand this new system
@SimonG thanks a lot!
I must point out from general answer of @Andi that my table shown above are not dynamic data, those are already 4 months old, thus shouldn’t show such huge gap in official report… I don’t think I have 40% fake streams as I haven’t use any bots and streams only count when more than 30 seconds were listened…
hi @liamphanmusic sorry if I didn’t explain myself in the right way, what I meant is just, that the values of streams is changing over time, weather it aligns with data from spotify and other streaming services I don’t know, but I hope iMusician will find a solution for that although it is not a vital data but it would be great to have real data there too
Ok I see but for what I have written until now, is that we still should have money from free Spotify plan user even if the rate is lower, that should match the streams anyway… The only streams that are not matching should be the Spotify filtering of bots and fake streams nothing else should disappear.
And as you can see, I have huge differences, pointing out even 40% of differences between imusician and spotify for 1 month. Spotify would have already canceled all my streams at this point with such a fake bots ratio…
Didn’t correctly read the answer from the admin, but yeah if Spotify are actually showing stats from under 30 seconds streams, that is really weird… basically showing no money then… That is really weird because when using StatsforSpotify, only my 30 seconds streams are counted on my account history of streaming, already did a GDPR request, and can assure that they don’t show all my listened songs, but only the above 30 seconds treshold…
I have the same issues and other 4 people that i know have huge problems too with imusician.
Numbers are different from 50% to 80%.
This is happening for months , since the beggining, and Spotify reply to me the same thing told to Mattia:The stats that are shown on Spotify for artist are the ones that are paid.
Amazon stats and other stores even not showing nor counted.
I KNOW!
that’s why i’m so concerned, and i’m considering leaving Imusician.
any update?
Things go worse and worse, the last three days It shows 52 streams LOL , Spotify shows above 500 per day, this Is ridiculous
i have sent you a dm
it’s a couple of months i don’t make a proper promotion to my music so it’s going down…but here it is…
starting point?
Non sono manco uscite le stats e le royalties di febbraio ed é il 15 di giugno, Oltre a tutte le stats sbagliate ,ormai ghivappo
