Streaming has absolutely fried y’all brains man. Once again I will post this thread:

This is extremely disingenuous and overly generalizing

im sure vinyl sales skyrocketting in recent years is only because of collecting and not people actually listening to them

:jordansmile:

delusional

Literally is
Most people I know who get vinyl dont even own a record player

Ur right
He slowly sells more and more

Yea for sure lol

I got a solid collection and few of the people around me do as well but I’m the only one who has a player

And most people I know that buy vinyl actually listen to them. The personal anecdotes mean nothing

That being said, Weeknd vinyls are artwork

This is INSANE.

His next 3 Diamond records:
Nice for What.
In My Feelings.
Nonstop.

How many he at after that?

83% of all music revenue came from streaming. 4 years ago, that number was around 89/90%. It's reduced a bit thanks to the continued growth of vinyls. Still, 83% of all music revenue being generated via streaming goes to show you just how many people listen to their music via streaming. There's absolutely nothing disingenuous or generalizing about my post.

Well, he has 8 certified Diamond records now. chartdata just confirmed 6 more in the past week, which brings him to 14. Add in the 3 I just mentioned and that's 17. Songs like Yes Indeed, Look Alive and Going Bad are also Diamond-eligible or very close to it. Don't be surprised if those reach the mark this year as well. That'd bring him to 20 and the current record is 9, held by Post Malone.

Well, if that's the case, HUT should have no issues performing as well as CLB has performed with basically no hits.

Tell that to her fans who are using those re-releases to give her new #1 albums. They have their own chart runs, are made up of at least 10 extra songs and are debating with 1M+ units with every drop.

Classics on classics oo wee

Oh he's eating that record lmao

Take it from one of them: we’re spinning that s*** like it’s crack. Ain’t no collecting dust or sitting on the shelf for us lol

You said “all physicals act as collector’s items”. That’s generalizing.

Someone can primarily listen via streaming because it’s the easiest method, but also buy physical copies and listen to them in the right environment

Take Care, Fake Love, Forever, Laugh Now Cry Later, Money in the Grave and Wants and Needs are also running behind. Those might hit the 10M mark later this year or early next year.

I’m gonna get me a new Taylor record and idek which album this time

Oh, I know lol. She's charting 10 albums weekly and all the re-releases are charting. That's why I'm confused why anyone would think they're not being treated like new albums by the people who matter lol.

Speak Now.
