So he's not really selling,he's just streaming.
Judging by these responses, I'm really starting to think some of you are paid posters.
Nah it doesn't make sense at all actually. Streaming an album or song will never mean the same as buying. Songs go for what, seventy nine cents to ninety nine cents in the marketplace? How much does a label pay per song at that standard value? Surely it's more than 0.01 cents. So even from that perspective it's not equivalent to a sale.
Anyone can get curious and stream a song/album that doesn't mean that they will ever listen to it again or that they mess with the artist and it certainly doesn't mean that they bought it. I'm not hatin' either. All I'm saying is streaming numbers aside, the amount of albums that people actually went out and bought the entire album isn't anywhere near these projection numbers. The entire album, not x amount of singles sold count as an album either. I say that because they count ten singles sold as an album. An artist could have a hot song but by using this model it could appear that his entire album is hot. If you won't acknowledge that then you just aren't being honest with yourselves.
Good post
Are you saying this nikka sold a million copies the first week?
nikkas that are stuck in their era. It's a fact now, when did it get like this ?
