Hardly a flex People barely know Amala exists though, lol. And Scarlet is not out yet. Not debating who’s bigger (b/c I don’t really care), just saying we can’t purely just look at # of albums. Especially when her earlier stuff has been (and continuing) to be overlooked. Edited September 21, 2023 by professor2000 1

family.guy123 Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 We still going to be talking about “equivalent sales” in 50 years when nobody alive has even seen a physical album? At this point I’m surprised they’re not incorporating radio plays into “album sales”. It’s the exact same logic. I’ve heard Hound Dog way more than ten times on the radio. Why does my consumption not count toward an album sale?!?!? A stream is a stream. Let the album go.

Users actively choose what to stream, radio is very much forced onto people. For example, Doja's album will get tons of streams cause people want to listen to her, but radio might not touch much of the record cause it's too explicit and what not.

It’s an outdated method of consumption that is so inherently distinct from streaming that any sort of attempt at creating an equivalency is absolutely meaningless and dumb.

I choose what I listen to on the radio, don’t be ridiculous. Nothing is forced on me. If chartmasters, billboard etc is filtering out streams derived from corporate created playlists, you’d have a point. But I don’t believe they do. If radio is forcing me listen to songs then so are those playlists.

I'm not sure that you understand how radio and/or streaming work but this is completely irrelevant to the thread. - Scarlet coming to double that.
