From Capitol CEO Steve Barnett:

 

Quote

“Always on” is a phrase that we use now and is used a lot in Santa Monica, and nobody proved that better than Halsey, who completely off-cycle had her biggest hit, Without Me, which is at 15m global adjusted tracks.

Thoughts, ATRL?

 

Only the biggest hitmaker of our generation.

Isnt it at like 5M SPS in the US? It definitely didnt do 10M outside the US 

Her haters must be so mad

 

A bigger hit than most of their favs will ever see

That's not realistic. It was basically only huge in like 3-5 countries and I think it's only 5x platinum in US...

It's #21 on the decade end chart and still charting so I'm not surprised

Her haters will say it's fake.

 

Deserved, an amazing song 

Good for her but kinda tragic her biggest hit won't even be attached to an album

They are adding this to her future album in whatever way, deluxe, target or whatver for sure

 

I don't buy the 15M, no matter how good it did in the US, it didnt do THAT good WW. It is not possible this did 15m in less than a year

Halsey winning. Atrl losing. Why?

the annoying thing abt streaming becomign the main method of consumption internationally is that every label and organisation can just make up conversion rates and say "yep this is how it works xx"

that being said i wanna figure out what the conversion rate for this is, i wanna know the # of streams etc

I'm not surprised. I heard this at least four times a day on the radio for so many months where I live. I liked the song, but it was on all the time.

The song is at 5M-6M SPS in the US and that was by far its biggest market ddd.

 

Capitol are known for being such liars.. they also claimed TD sold 10M WW years ago.

 

I like Halsey but WM did 5M SPS in the US and US is her strongest market.. 15M is a REACH.. 10M-12M is more realistic no?

I believe they're following the 150:1 ratio (as in 1 sale equals 150 streams for chart units).

 

Without Me has:

 

755,568,095 Spotify streams + 968,000,000 YouTube streams (combining all uploads) = 1,723,568,095 streams = 11,490,454 SPS alone  

 

So the rest is from downloads and other streaming services.

Makes sense. Streams inflate everything so we should get used to these numbers by current streaming hits

 

If Without Me has 15 million SPS then I'm guessing Old Town Road will finish with 35 million SPS or something like that  Candle in the wind is shook.

nightmare deserved

10M is more realistic
