Scotland Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 45 minutes ago, LCTV said: Our pop girls were seen laughing No, they're not. This just shows that pop girls are on their way out. For example, Xtina's 60K didn't do much for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Female artists in general are going to have a tough time because they’re expensive to market and sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streams are how the vast majority of people in the world consume music. With ATRL's logic, TV viewership shouldn't count unless it's on cable (paid) or a paid streaming subscription on Hulu, Netflix, etc. So I guess broadcast TV on the big networks like ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, the CW, PBS, etc. shouldn't count because it's free?

The Best One Yet Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 People saying 'Sales are DEAD!!!! Some artists even Xtina sold over 60,000 albums this year, so 823 isn't representative of the best-selling album right now. This chart should be Album with most popular singles on Spotify/Apple Music. Albums with decent sales barely chart anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
