coldfireDoes anybody think the decline of him hop streams has anything to do with twitter falling off? I feel like new releases felt like a moment when everybody was on twitter. Ig is like less words more vibe and mystery
new releases are still an event especially for big artists.
it's just the internet is segregated now. s*** could be big in one are of the internet and not make it over
also hype don't last longer than 3 days - bigpapiD 🦉·1 reply
Jim Halpertone of the last remaining superstars is gonna smarten up and only release their album phusically
with a unique QR code for your monthly fee music service if that's all you can listen to music with.
album might sell well but that person isn't going to have a long term touring career

userthis is an arbitrary formula that some random white man came up with to devalue artists including the dude in your avatar because a couple hundred k or less "sales" sounds way less impactful than Millions and Billions of Streams
lol we pay $14.99 to stream all the music possible. from that how are they supposed to pay every stream a worthy amount
- MrRecoup
There’s a whole formula that explains why streams are equal to sales.
And yet they are still not sales. Sales equivalent units is quite literally a made up metric.
Streams and sales should've been separate metrics since streaming was first introduced

by immediately ending what you describe in your first sentence and take the next 5 years of fallout to save the music industry
streaming should only get you access to the singles/videos/bonus material and you have to pay <$10 to get whole album

·5 repliesThe film industry is having its best year post-pandemic and it's 100% because they are prioritizing theatrical releases. Imagine if The Odyssey released on HBO Max day one.
The music industry needs to reshape and figure out what's next because this streaming s*** is not the answer whatsoever

No they would not have. Warner Bros. tried the day-and-date releases back in 2020/2021 and it was an utter disaster, that's why Nolan ended up going to Universal

yall asking the industry to change when it's the consumer that has to change.
the masses aren't going to go back to paying for music when we can access it all for way cheaper.
and these artists get incentived when they tour and charge us the ridiculous amounts - bigpapiD 🦉·1 replyshaleirose

They did it with a literal Nolan film, Dune Part One, The Matrix Resurrections, and a Godzilla movie
How are those B-list movies?

bad in what way
as in new music isn't selling?
think the money is still in it arguably more now - bigpapiD

think the money is still in it arguably more nowNo it is not. Artists across the board have been complaining about the streaming model being terrible financially. The only artists that are seeing any real money in it are the most popular acts bringing in billions of streams a year
