Yeah but if you adjust everyone else's album sales for streaming TPP still looks like it sold like **** because if she gets inflated everyone else gets inflated along with her.

I Don't think ARTPOP would make 3mil

Is Cheap Thrills better than Alive? I haven't heard it yet but I'm becoming more and more indifferent to her output as time goes on.

She's probably already out of jail on her own accord.. the same won't be said when your fave is trapped in the hospital stents in her veins because she just had a cardiac arrest

It's much more tolerable. Less grating screaming. More dance tropical vibes.

Early Lana Del Rey ('11-'12) is so good and kinda eclipses early Gaga ('09-''09) in terms of musical preference.

Early? Ultraviolence is by so very far the best album of all time.

Can someone tell me how Nicki got 702k from U.S in TEA? Her U.S singles sales from TPP barely touch 6m according to Kworb's estimates.

Using the formula Nicki is using it would

With 7m+ single sales (TEA) and 700m+ streams (250m from Spotify, 400m YT, 50m small streaming services) it would

That's accurate and reflects the profit a record label makes from an entire era excluding radio play, touring and VEVO streaming.

Idgy ATRL can't comprehend this when it's not even middle-school-level math.

That table includes Youtube views (even though Billboard, UK chart, etc don't)

[jose168]

oh shes counting youtube views even though they bring in a fraction of the revenue as on demand streams? nevermind then!

Hmmm, I need a refresher. I don't think I got that impression when I'd first listened to it, but I'll listen on Spotify later tonight.

One of the greatest things Madonna has done was elevate a song with such a lame theme/lame lyrics. Idk how she not only made it work but made it soar.

1500 streams = 1 'album sale', so it includes Youtube as she doesn't have 2 billion+ streams on Spotify.

And yeah, there's no way 1500 Youtube views = 1 album sale

It's unclear what chunk of that amount actually goes to Swift's team because YouTube doesn't disclose royalty percentages; however, music insiders estimate it's between $0.50 and $2 for every 1,000 views. If that math holds up, Swift's label could make between $10,000 and $40,000 from 20 million views, an amount that would be shared among the label, songwriters and Swift.

Minimum Youtube/VEVO revenue: 50 cents/1000 views = 0.05 cents per stream
Maximum Youtube/VEVO revenue : 200 cents/1000 views = 0.2 cents per stream
Average: ~0.125 cents per stream to label/publisher/artist, etc.

10 iTunes sales (TEA) = 1290 cents, 903 cents goes to label/publisher/artist, etc. The rest (30%) goes to Apple

So ~7224 Youtube/VEVO views = 1 'album sale', not 1500

Uh, Nicki Minaj is not a better lyricist than Drake.



Furthermore, Nicki Minaj is not better than Drake at anything, except at maybe killing her unborn children in utero.
