It only gets messy because a label will report that they sold 2M copies of an album to retailers while retailers only sold 1M of said album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not necessarily a bad system. It’s debatable I think when 75% of music consumption is from streaming, it should be included in this list to give a true representation of the biggest albums of the year as the group of people that buy albums is not big enough to be representative and mostly relies on fandoms and older people (see: BTS and all the soundtracks).

Extinctkid Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 High-key I like that they don't include SPS here. You could have one big hit that is streamed 1 Billion times and suddenly your album magically has sold 500K more copies when the actual album probably sold like 50K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those kind of people don't consume albums only quick singles I think streaming has brought back the album actually? In the digital era people would just pay for a single or two and then move on which led to big artists with abysmal album sales (Pitbull, Flo Rida, Jason Derulo, Kesha just to name a few) but with streaming a lot of people are listening to whole albums again cause it's so accesable.
