waiting for the brave soul whos gonna devils advocate cds

The modern day version is saying that an average person will listen to a CD 10 times through in their lifetime and since there are 30 songs on here, let’s count it as 300 streams per CD on top of 1 album unit

physical sales can be gamed easily. streams require a lot more effort to lie about.

therefore, let’s take physical sales out of numbers discussions

Did they cancel out streaming farms? I’m not hip on the regulations

streaming farms do a lot less damage than the tricks they pull for physicals

25million fraudulent streams packs the same punch as 16,667 physicals, which is barely anything compared to when physicals would be inflated by 100k

double post

True it would take over 100 years to reach that

The dumbest metric. Got new gen kids looking at me like I'm nothing all due to a quick check on the monthly listens lol You know how many gem of an artists they're missing out on?

I get it there's 800million songs/Artists on these platforms. But ya get me

That’s not the topic at hand

literally all of them

People took it as the first song to go gold when it was just the first song to go through the RIAA process of being certified gold
