deleteduser579What’s objective about it
they are a statistical indicator to how big of an audience (and also how loyal of a fan base) and listening base an artist has, which then can be used to make the case for that artist being the “best”
i’m not saying i subscribe to this line of thinking, but i wouldn’t argue against it being one of the only forms of objectiveness to “rate” music. i’m fine if you wanna say that these numbers don’t equate to talent. i’m not going to argue that. but i also would argue that streams are still a meaningful gauge for conversations regarding the “big 3”

can’t wait to see what he does first week
the only way drake fans will stop giving a f*** about streams is if he starts tanking funny enough
something like that happening will DEFINITELY change that discourse lol

Streaming numbers are cool to gauge an artist's base and an approximation of their popularity but I don't think it really says anything about loyalty at all.
The level of investment it takes to check out an album on streaming is mind-numbingly simple, if anything tours and any actual material tangible support is a way better indicator of where an artist's fanbase stands
It's also a little strange to me that people use streaming numbers to gauge someone's stature as an artist so readily when they're easily manipulated and botted, they also don't really necessarily translate into real world support at all.
There's plenty of artists that get a couple million streams on a song or two and then can't even get people bothered to see them perform

agree and disagree. I think it HAS to have some correlation to loyalty. but i do agree ofc that selling out tours is maybe more of an indication of that, despite having issues with how artists price their tickets.
in a hypothetical world where we still were buying CDs from best buy, or having to buy an album from itunes, do you think the charts would look different? do you think drake wouldn’t be at the top in this hypothetical? just curious
