What's the streaming sites?

Pandora, Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, etc. Basically ones you have to pay for or that are supported by ads.

 

[WhiteWidow]

So are we all gonna act like artist won't pay programmer's money to create a software that streams 1000's of times per day to put up big numbers?

I don't even listen to the radio but down here in DC last week when I get in the car literally like 3-4 days out of the work week before I switched to my own music, play no games was on the radio, I was like damn I didn't even realize it was popping like that.

It's a new generation, all that shyt has to change according to what's going on with technology, including billboard

couldnt disagree more. If people supported these artists, they would with they wallets. More people in this world than ever before yet sales are lower than before and its a direct reflection of how bad the music is. Good music still sells - while not as much as the 90s and early 2000s, id prefer they just lower the certificate amount for albums. 250k for gold and 500k for platinum maybe..

Its free to stream, its not comparable to someone dropping $15-30 on a cd.. I dont like this shyt at all

It's not free to stream that's stolen music. Apple takes $10 out of my account every month for their service, any cd I want I just go to it and press the checkmark and I own it, no single purchase necessary.
it's time to adjust

You seem to of made no effort to understand the merit of what he was implying when you responded to it, nor did you look beyond yourself to see that Apple Music isn't the only streaming option

[Da King]

it HAS to happen, most people aren't copping CD but just streaming, you telling me Future not plat? nikkas just streaming that shyt 24/7

should would be 3-4x plat in the 90's

 

[Harry B]

It should be based on the activity in a commercial market, so it's expected.
