How much would MJ's "Thriller" have sold if they counted streaming in 83' like they do now?

[Take It In Blood]

Give me a number

 

[MIKE SPLEAN]

A trillion

 

[swerve]

Add a zero

 

[brownsugah]

Damn. Good question.. I’m sure it probably would have the record for most units sold in the first week, or close to it.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Add a zero

 

[Calmye]

Billions

 

[TL15]

Imagine streaming for:

Thriller
Beat it
Billie Jean
P.Y.T

 

[Da King]

music fans today have the attention span of a small child, in a week they'd be on to something else. Back then people would let albums sink in, for years sometimes... It would do big numbers but nothing more than any modern pop album
