Listen is a consumer purchase — buy the song, download it, and listen on your devices (like Apple Music or Bandcamp). Personal / Commercial / Unlimited are sync licenses for using the music IN something else (a video, podcast, ad, film, game). Every purchase ships a License Certificate (PDF) — Part A applies to every purchase, Part B is the grant specific to your tier.
