Discussion: Do you buy loads of music?

Dark XXX

I see some people here have posted in those "what albums have you bought this year" threads and they'll post like 5-20 albums. So do you buy loads of singles/albums by artists or just stuff by your fave only?

I'd understand if they were upcoming artists who need the money but some of these popstars are filthy rich and they brag about their wealth. So what's the point of giving an artist more money to add to their billions when there are homeless people around, people in poor countries and also to take care of yourself and your livelihood?

I would personally buy the albums and tour tickets by my fave only but not stuff like T-shirts etc.

naah
only Rih and Kanye
and i'm buying Lemonade this week cause this album is too good
the rest is on Tidal
edit: i mean i only buy CDs cause buying digital is useless when you're streaming music

Alien.

Only if they're my faves or an album/song I really like.

OurLuckyStrike

I only buy music from up and coming artists I like or if a mainstream artist released an album I like (Lemonade, Views, Anti)

Why pay when you can get it for free?

KillingYourCareer

I buy like 2-3 CDs every month.

FloridaKilos

I only buy my fave's albums, or albums I really love.

LadyDiana

when I was younger yeah, I was buying everything, now not so much

Kanji

I don't buy music. I don't think I could name a single album released this year where I thought it was good enough for me to get a physical copy of it

Oxygen

I stream mainly everything, only buy if i really like them. I've only bought 2 albums this year

Aden

I used to buy literally everything but now that we have streaming, I only really drop money on CDs of albums that I really, really like. Also only my faves.

AlexisNeiers

Usually I buy like 4 CDs a month, sometimes I also get pre-order singles on iTunes, but never full albums.

Leptine

I used to buy and collect a lot of music cds, especially all the singles-versions from other countries, but now I stopped, I have other priorities, but I still buy the music only from my faves, for the rest I stream.

Snoopy

I only buy Gaga's music. The rest is free.

HereInMyHead

I don't really buy new music very much but I buy a lot of used/second hand CD's for very cheap prices (albums and singles) but this is only if I know the artist very well and like their music.

I have bought 40-50 CDs in the last year and I have preordered Ariana's Dangerous Woman Japanese Special Price edition and I will also be buying Tiziano's new album. I'm seriously running out of room.
