Oh nvm. Looks like it's not a Hive problem, but a personal problem.

Welp. Carry on.

The album that people actually buying should be number 1 not quick lil streams actual album sales period.

why?

Coz I can buy an album... not like it and not even listen to it twice....

or buy 10 copies of it to gift to my friends and family for them to put it on their shelves as they LOATHE the artist in question.

But when I stream a song I ACTUALLY CHOOSE TO LISTEN TO IT.

Contabilizing how many people are buying an album is a way of measuring its popularity, but nowadays LETS BE REAL... 99% OF PEOPLE DO NOT BUY ALBUMS.

Oh yeah... SURPRISE!!! Its 2016 babe.... come to the light

Whoo, the last few pages are a mess.

It is gold? In a myriad of countries. You fool.

Ariana is predicted to do 140k. 140k in 2016 is equivalent to 250k in 2013.

Well maybe it's just me seeing that I Stan for someone who doesn't need streams to go platinum the perks of having a fav that can sale albums I guess 💋 Good luck to both Blake and Ariana.

It's not even that serious....this is sales for an artist who doesn't even know you exist.

Like damn... go outside, get some fresh air, stop worrying.... If Beyonce ever lost it, she has millions of other things to her name

[CarterTax]

All the fumes at Rih and Drake

Ariana will still be #1

HOW FUNNY....

Ariana is supposed to be the one benefiting from this...


Actually her last album is 2xPlatinum because of it... now her album is not the best selling of the week... or even the most popular of the week... and people have an issue with the method.

INTERESTING.

Okay...

nowadays MUSIC IS NOT CONSUMED THE SAME WAY....

You can listen to an album without buying it LEGALLY... which means the album is POPULAR. Which also means money for the labels and artists.

I dont think there is any question that if an album is beng streamed 100.000.000 times in a week... that means the album is CLEARLY MORE POPULAR than one that is streamed 5.000.000 times.

Even if its sales are not as big, nowadays everyone has FULL ACCESS to the music they wanna hear. And the same way one chooses to buy an album, they choose who they want to stream too.

If Ariana's or Blake's album was that successful as you guys point out (as their sales are bigger than Drake) wouldnt that mean they would be equally adding those streams??

Its like denying everyone checked Kanye's new album when it was available... even if its sales werent there... the album was the most popular that week, and most of all... GENERATED THE MOST REVENUE.

Which is in the end what this charts measure.

You can't be that stupid. Not everyone is going to have big streams and country and indie type artists are NEVER going to get that support on streaming. They just won't.

why? dont they have 12$ to buy an album and they dont have 9,99 $ to have a full month of music?

or is it coz country listeners do not have computers?

or is it coz country listeners do not have smartphones?

please enlighten me.

BY THE WAY... THE BILLBOARD 200 HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR A YEAR AND A HALF ALREADY... PLEASE. GET OVER IT ALREADY

I don't know how you read my post but it's not what I mean.
I mean I hate Ariana stans so I want to make them mad. It has nothing to do with Bey.

Stay mad. Don't tell me you don't want your fave records to be safe.
ATRLers always tell me that streaming is the future... Drake is #1 on SPS chart, so let him be.

This is so stupid. Who cares about it? Its bound to be broken someday soon and no one measures how long the record has been held. It's not your accomplishment and you're acting like it took you so much time and effort to achieve it. You did nothing except maybe buy a few albums.

This is just sad

[4seldemari]

And this discussion of how it's unfair for someone having SPS to be #1 when their pure sales are lower comes up literally every time. SPS is the present. Pure sales was the past.

This pathetic pieuxvu girl makes me want to hate on Bey/Hive, but I won't be petty like he is.

OT: Ariana.
