Also stans who live vicariously thru the artist

Or maybe it’s also to make it appear as tho music sales aren’t dying

Honestly how in tf does making up a formula (1500 plays = 1 album purchase) that converts streams to album sales even make sense?

Case in point. Ktt poster on front page remembers VIEWS selling a million. Oh it did but it actually sold 850 because you see the million figure comes from a formula based on sales and streams.... man, what? Do u see how silly that sounds? So he didn’t sell a million! The only reason this formula exists is because of EGO

Stans flock to sales figures when the music itself isn't good

You're thinking about this more than you should

anyways stream Franchise

So you must have a great idea about how to count streams op why don’t you tell us

yeah its pretty arbitrary but there's not really an alternative

It’s not arbitrary lol
That’s the number of streams that on average equals $10 - aka an album price

I hate when ppl say this. Literally a couple mins out of my day. First thought that popped in my head when I saw the views thread. I made this thread for YOU GUYS to discuss music and then u let the disrespect fly by assuming s*** like this. Smd

Man, what? There is no f***ing argument to op. NONE. Why tf are u trying to hate on me for bringing u facts? Are u a stan who uses these fake sales metrics to make u feel good about an artist U stan?

How about don’t combine sales and streams and then refer to that formulation as “units sold”. Views didn’t sell a million.

Ok but they didn’t actually buy the album. Just cos the price is the same doesn’t mean we can go around saying x Artist sold 150k this week because they didn’t!

Except they did

They sold the equivalent of that many copies because of the revenue the album pulled in

That’s a dumb argument... so because 1500 streams equal same price as an album sale “x” artist can say “I sold 150k” when he really sold 1000 units?

This is literally all about ego. The people in this thread who don’t want to admit it don’t want to do it because it’s coming from me. If Joe budden says the same thing y’all d***ride him

If streams are doing so much better just count them separately and start saying i streamed this much and not I Sold this much

Lost brain cells reading this post

Lmao OP remedial as s***

Lock

U have no argument d***head stop trying to put me down and admit I’m correct

This shots at drake and drake fan girls and I’m in af for them crying

You literally ignored my argument lol

@op you want a separate chart for sales and streams or something?

You’re an idiot you know streams make money right

It’s actually not

Ok
I’m leaving this thread

U guys are the dumbest mfs I’ve ever come
Across

Tf does that have to do with my argument!!!

Man said he’s leaving his own thread
