Both are being pushed to a higher position due to streams. It's like complaining about a song going #1 on Hot 100 with 80% of its points from radio, versus 50% radio. And why does an album have to get a certain amount of sales, in order for its streams to be validated? As seen at this point, lower sales means higher streams, since the demographic is transitioning from sales to streaming. Therefore it makes complete sense, the highest streamers, have lower sales. If people are transitioning from buying CDs to using Spotify, why would those who are doing well on Spotify generate as many sales as someone doing weakly on Spotify & who's target demographic is still largely transitioning.

I don't have any problem with albums selling 10k+ pure sales and 100k SPS.. or even 5k Pure Sales Only charting as high as top5 or top10 due to streaming.. it's just kinda irritating/annoying somehow when a certain artist pulled 80k-100k PURE SALES but cockblocked by an album that sold less than 5k or worse less than 1k.. 80k pure sales cockblocked with 60k pure sales ain't as tragic as the situation i posted above.. And with your radio comparison.. yeah it's also very annoying when a song was heavily RADIO driven or heavily Streaming Driven.. i don't know why i don't find a song selling 200k a week annoying tho.

Well considering radio, although influenced by callouts, has far more corporate hands in the pot pushing certain songs to be hits, whereas streaming and digital/physical sales are pretty much consumer-driven. So yeah, I don't think a song at say, #3 with 80% of its points coming from radio would be that accurate. ASIB'S getting good streams and high sales, so your argument isn't quite absolute. people just seem willing to spend actual money on the product as well.

Its great for her, but huge albums on streaming are getting 300 million+ streams first week now and 100+ million in following weeks. If ASIB was getting that much streams & was still selling largely then it’d be a different story. So yeah, the point stands – higher streams equals lower sales.

I feel like the weight that streaming has on the charts / music industry is flawed. It's totally male-dominated, listener and artist-wise. Since when did we give straight males the power behind the chart formula?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
