Billboard announces new rules for digital sales and prices

[spliz]

I saw that,

I was like how is Nav doing 80k with 70k of them being sales and 12k streaming, having a bigger debut than Durk who had 1k sales and 63k streaming. I was thinking that the split should be quite similar between those artists, and of course...


I don't get it, if you make money like Travis with his bundles I kinda get it. That's 100 bucks a piece for a cheap shirt is crazy money when you sell 400k of them, and promoting them with an album is good business. But should not be counted as album sales. But this other shyt that Nicki Minaj, Nav and them do is for no other reason than to boost their ego. Do they even make money from applying those tricks. Or like Sza releasing a new album as the deluxe. That's almost like hustling backwards if that doesn't mean that you've added a new album under your contract.

Buying an album for $5 is more legit than streaming. Streaming unlimited music only cost $5 more. That $5 is an actual sale of a product. Streaming isnt. It’s fake.

Streaming 1500 songs of an album = 1 sale = 12-20 dollars in income to the owners of the music.

I don't know how much you get from selling a digital album for $5 on iTunes, but I believe they take like 30%, so say = 5 dollars in come to the owners of the music.

Selling a physical album for $5 = a loss until you sell over a certain amount and still then the profit will be small as there's logistics, pressing, materials, stores cut etc.




Just look at Universal Music Group's valuation and income statement since streaming blew up



Other than that, I have nothing more to say or read on this topic.

It’s not real. That’s the point no matter how much u listen to a song. U didn’t buy it. Period.

Its a far better representation of how music is consumed.

Bundles aren’t real

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Both physical and digital sales can be easily be manipulated in more ways than one, so these debates always come off as a waste of time.

U bought it. With ur cash? Yea it’s real. lol. But it is kinda cheating. But that’s like saying a video game special edition bundle ain’t real just cause u get extras. Listening to music doesn’t mean u bought it. No matter how many times u listen to it.

nikka selling Cassettes like it’s 1995 in BIG 2025 CASSETTES, Vinyl with Multiple(White, Black, Blue) variants by color and weight… yet Drake is the one manipulating the numbers.

In what world is this “manipulating numbers” these are physical products for sale that people have the choice to purchase or not purchase.

Customers aren't limited to 1 item or method of consumption per household OVPedO nikkas and their mental illness will never not be hilarious.… imagine a movie ticket sale not counting because you watched it at two different theaters (IMAX and standard screen)

OVPedO’s mad again cause their head pedo in charge’s bargain bin $4.99 album sales hustle got clipped
