Do the songs played while listening in a private session still count as streams for the artist?

I just wanted to know if the songs played in private session still count as streams, helping the artists (ish) and couldn't find any info about it.

Hey @rafaelladm, 

Welcome to the Community and thanks for reaching out about this. 

While Private Session streams count for minutes listened, these shouldn’t count for charts, songs, and music recommendations. We have more info about this feature here. 

If you need help with anything else, just let us know.

Yes, I know that! But what I want to know is if it counts for the artist, increasing their number of streams in the platform. If it adds the their stream number.

I was wondering the same things ! I like to listen to study music studying. While I don’t necessarily want this place to show up in my wrapped , I do want the streams to count for the artist.

Hey folks, 

Thanks for your messages. 

We can confirm that the streams in Private Session also count for the artist. 

Keep in mind that private listening will not influence the music recommendations on your account. 

Let us know if you have any other questions, we're always a message away.

Cheers.
