They count now cause of the digital copy included with every copy. They won't count again when shipped. 4 hours ago, Mons†erMuscle™ said: A decline from Lover even with 16 bundles and surprise release hype? You expected an incline without performances, no months of pre-order with 4 pre-release songs, no commercially appealing songs, no airplay, half of those "16 bundles" (not bundles, they're literally copies of the album lmfao), admits a pandemic? Oh well, at least it's not a decline despite having criminally investigated fake streams inflating numbers and a whole movie bundled with the album!

Wow what a drag. First, Lemonade was by no means a decline. Lastly I don’t see why Beyoncé is brought up in response to a monster. Stay on topic. ——————— OT : Good job Taylor.

Buffy Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I think Taylor’s a real legend.... we joke about it the last several years but I think it’s really true. She’s up there with Madonna, The Beatles, and whoever else I’m missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iHype. Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 9 minutes ago, mcohen said: Right. Because only people who can't afford albums stream on YT In 2020, the overwhelming majority do. That is why Latin music, Indian music, and children's music do the best on YouTube now (and English music has completely died). Those are all demographics that don't even pay for streaming, let alone buy music. The biggest demographics on video streaming are those who don't pay for music. Anyone who is still buying albums in 2020 also is clearly not going to be dictated by whether something is on streaming or not. Everything is on streaming by now. It's just hardcore fans who want to continue owning her stuff physically, and those who are very-well bent on buying music in general that still buy albums. Uploading something on YouTube at the absolute most did minimal damage (few thousands sales) and when you factor those millions of YouTube streams also equal thousands of sales....
