    na actual sales of the album should be superior.

    i mean the worth of a stream is tied to how much they equate to the sell of a single or album

    THANK YOU!!!

    DRAKE WOULDNT ABUSE THE SYSTEM BC HE THE BIGGEST EVER BRO WHAT ARENT YOU GETTING.. you should honestly respect the numbers he puts up without gimmicks. He doesn’t stoop that low and we should admire that about an artist

    Selling physicals is not abusing the system

    They shouldn’t because nobody consumes music like that. They don’t even make cars or computers with CD drives anymore

    Those $5 vinyl did not contribute to the first week sales in any way shape or form because they weren’t even on sale for $5 until ten days after the album dropped.

    selling tees hoodies hats and throwing in a lil collectable cd cover or vinyl is 100% not selling physicals

    quite shocking that Drake is as big as he is. Cause he and OVO don't be pushing s***. they drop an album and go. so many hit songs that just end up being loosies.

    That doesn’t make the sale worthless. Real people are choosing to spend real dollars on these physicals and that is worth infinitely more than a damn stream

    idk whats so hard about this. can anyone in here tell me i’m wrong when I say travis sold 250k bundles first week?

    Nobody said the sale is worthless but it doesn’t accurately depict how much the music is being consumed like streaming does

    The T shirts and hoodies don’t mean s*** without an album at full price attached to it. The fans could literally buy the T shirts and hoodies separately if they wanted to.

    Sure, but that’s a separate metric. You’re still conflating that with sales numbers. Two different metrics.

    lol idk the facts but yea the CDs for the most part is some scam s*** to make money. But digital downloads are valid cause you still streaming it, it's just bought

    But the point still stands that if they don’t want the physical album they can just remove it, no one is being forced to buy these physicals

    No I’m using the billboards actual words. The purpose of the chart is to measure multi metric music consumption and I’m saying the way they do that is faulty because artists like trav game the system

    Digital downloads are valid. CDs are less valid imo

    You conveniently left out that second part of Billboard’s own words:

    (blending traditional album sales, track equivalent albums, and streaming equivalent albums)

    It’s not JUST streaming consumption.

    Your reading comprehension is poor dude. It’s using all of those metrics to measure the consumption of the music

    The anti-physical media movement in recent years is so weird and dystopian man. Y’all can’t claim to care about the art but think that everything should be digital
