Got artists like Adele with the most fraud stats ever cause of this s*** lmao

Exactly, but they’re too far into it now, if they made that change now it would piss a lot of fans & artists off

Ironically tho Streaming is apparently "manipulated" yet all the major labels completely fail at making their artists streaming giants lol

major labels had it 100x easier in the physical era when they could manipulate s*** so much easier

5 different versions of the same cd is a gimmick yes
the act of simply selling physical media however is not

Yeah cause mfs had to really lock in and be 100% sure of the work they made before submitting. Now you can wait as long as you want to finish something without sitting on it beforehand.

How are her sales fraud

Right and streaming numbers are way bigger and look prettier on a headline too. I don’t get why they just don’t say f*** it and do the logical thing. People would adjust quickly enough even if they complained at first

The quality of albums have dropped significantly in the streaming era.

Like on average.

420 is dope. Props to Drake 🐐

Members Only is prob Drake's greatest R&B track cause it just further exemplifies the style of R&B only he could excel at.

deadass the current formula for sales is arbitrary asf

like seeing something like drake earns 640 million streams first week as a headline just logically makes sense as the most important number

I think this is all about Drake having a lower first week then Travis. Even though people can see the breakdown and know Travis had physicals and s***. It's really not this serious.

yeah because y’all are so desperate to put the streaming era on the same level as the pre-streaming era, that now physical versions of media no longer count and they’re “gimmicks”

y’all are some sick people, seriously

can’t believe im unironically reading vinyls and CDs being sold alongside an album is a “gimmick”

like how much does someone have to worship technology to say something like that

s*** is crazy

genuinely so sick

these dudes need a psychiatrist, not even being hyperbolic

How many weeks until Morgan is outselling FATD

It’s not. But it’s cute you’re doing all of this for him selling 400k.

Never said any of that. All I'm saying is that we are in the streaming era now, not the physicals era. Glad you agree

yeah, streaming a song is somehow infinitely more important than purchasing a physical and very indicative of listening habits

the aliens revealed in Mexico were real though

It’s hilarious because ask literally any artist if they would rather have a thousand streams or a thousand sales and literally any artist would choose a thousand sales

it’s a perspective thing, they need streaming numbers to be valid and important so they can prove that X artist is bigger and better than Y artist based on them, while X and Y artist would much rather prefer to be directly supported through actually purchasing a physical copy of the art

really separates the chart watchers from the people who actually like music, it’s crazy as hell

Oh it's my fanboy again, still bringing up and conflating the aliens in Mexico after a month In this day and age, people are listening to music on streaming platforms, not on CD or Vinyl players. I had no idea that this was a controversial opinion amongst idiots

i didn’t read any of this, your boy flopped and he isn’t bigger than Taylor

go cry into your Drake poster in your room or whatever kid

And this day and age, people are sitting at home watching movies on Netflix but actors and directors would still prefer people to go to a theater
