GIANT NAS X: "OLD TOWN" CROSSROAD
 

Could the last pure sales giant—and last million-seller—be among us?

 

By now, everyone knows the story of "Old Town Road." Lil Nas X cracked the viral code and created a monster. Add Columbia's support, Billy Ray Cyrus, cross-culture appeal and a triumph over arbitrary Billboard pigeon-holing, and the monster became the biggest smash since (insert any song here).

 

What makes it a unicorn is that not only is "Old Town Road" dominating streaming, it's the biggest selling track of the year by a longshot. The rate at which it is killing the competition—currently outselling #2 by 3:1—is astounding. In a couple of weeks, the track will hit 1m in pure sales. And with iTunes entering retirement, it very well could be the last million-seller in history.

 

Take a look at how the top tracks of the year compare to "Old Town Road" in pure sales.

On top of the sales numbers, the track has generated over $5m of revenue to date. Combined with streaming and video, "Road" is halfway to Diamond. When Lil Nas X's debut EP hits streets, it will have already notched 750k in album units. "Old Town Road" has conquered the old model and is likely the last true sales champion, while it marches forward as the harbinger of the future's potential.

7 Rings only sold 400K? That's sort of shocking? I knew she was always a streaming artist, but dang!

 

It's like, people LOVE her, but not enough to ever rub 2 pennies together and buy her music product. Majority of her figures are all streaming.

And streaming generates more revenue so your point is what?

She’s the most streamed female artist on Apple Music, a paid platform. I think people are rubbing their pennies together pretty hard by constantly streaming her music on AM when streaming gives people access to pretty much everyone’s music.

Pure sales :eek:amazing Gaga :clap3:.

Reminds me of Adele. When many used the same excuse for their faves on it not being the early 2000's or 80's to sell diamond albums. Yet Adele did prove if you resonate with the GP they buy your work. Pure sales.
