Can you name some cases in music in which we need the audience to buy the album? I can name a few:

1. Rihanna - ANTI being the future of music with its 2x platinum certification
2. Work From Home and Worth It from 5H being 2 of the 4 most viewed youtube videos on the daily
3. High By The Beach goes Top 10 on Billboard Hot 100 for 1 hour
4. Drake still being #1 on Billboard 200

[Beyoncé Knowles]

But we need the audience to BUY the album

[Rihorse#1fan]

Only old artist with a huge base and Adele are still selling albums. Streaming is the future sadly

[DoubleDutchess]

Actually only great albums are selling.

[Glamazon]

oh ****

[Kanji]

This is still so funny Poor Brandy

[Trent W]

Stop trying to fight streaming

Streaming brings awareness to the artists, albums are just a bunch of fans stuck in a post form of consumption.

Drake has actually sold 1,4 million copies worldwide despite being released three weeks ago.

[Rihductive]

everyone that went to MDNA and RH tours

[Buddy]

People who fight streaming are fools

Streaming is EVERYTHING

It is why I'm into music outside of Gaga

Do u think I would know artists like THE BEATLES without streaming? HELL NO!

[Colton1]

Steaming is the future

This is the most peculiar thread.

It's the Brandy GIF that has me howling. Everything else is just down to streaming, which is what is now.

[Avariko]

It's all about streaming these days. buy Björk's discography on iTunes though.

Considering he debuted with 852,000, spent multiple weeks #1 on sales, and is on track possibly for the top selling album of the year in US the audience has bought the album.

Him spending more weeks at #1 on Billboard 200 even when not #1 on sales is just a bonus.
