The Formula
Luminate's Song Equivalent, reverse-engineered from 13 weeks of chart data and 10 consumption drill-ins. Re-fit every week as new data lands.
The model learns every week. New drill-ins trigger a refit; divisors drift toward their true values as sample size grows. Sales is locked at ÷1. Programmed will move off the 2024 prior once we capture per-song Service Type breakdowns starting next chart week.
