They have a mathematical equation of streams that are supposed to be the equivalent to if you walked into the store and purchased something.
But it gets convoluted for several reasons... especially when it comes to album sales. It don't have the same meaning for me as to when people actually paid the money at an FYE etc.
That said... I think "Not Like Us" is gonna do even more numbers than "Euphoria"
The funniest thing about all of this shyt, is like how many top rappers in rap history could you label a pedophile and people actually give it some legitimacy

That's not what I'm talking about. They count streams as "sales".. and most of the "sales" come from streaming.

1500 streams = 10 track sales = 1 album sale
but you can still buy the file to download and play offline. all i'm saying is people still do that.

It gets convoluted at times because you'll have these streaming platforms straight up pushing...damn near making people listen to certain artists by throwing them on every playlist or keeping their music on the front page...
Then you will also have these "bundles" that count as sales etc.. it's weird.
I didn't know I needed new Mustard beats in my life. We need Kendrick over more of these joints on his next album
