It's not like it was for big releases though. These days we'll maybe get a leak hours before from New Zealand iTunes, but the big names won't have whole albums leak days and weeks earlier the way they used to.

I think the Olivia Rodrigo album leaked because she shipped CDs to stores to be available on release day.

Don Henley is somewhere here on earth feeling triggered and he doesn’t know why

Still living what u mean

To think that by the end of the mixtape era we were essentially getting projects that were of studio album quality for free

We were so incredibly lucky

fax!!! my influence

that was 2016? started listening to Soundcloud heavy

I hope

Or when albums leaking from physicals stopped

They’re still in business

When future dropped FUTURE & HNDRXX in back to back weeks & did 100k+ each with no physicals

When I was adding songs to my iPod touch instead of burning them to a cd.
