As an ANTi stan, literally why would anyone spend actual coins on a digital album they could download for free? But drag I guess.

Not every single album is released for free though.

Some may as well have been!

Dragging an album's sales when it leaked early and was made available for free.



1 million codes were used up, the fact that anyone is still buying the album is impressive

It was free for ONE day and leaked one day early
Most albums leak and are available for free some for weeks, months before they are released

The Navy is going to be clinging to this "it was free!!!!" thing like it isn't 2016. Am pretty sure majority of the albums I own I listened to for free before they came out.

This era is GOLD.

Every single album is available for FREE online.
NOT every single album is given away with cellphones for 30 million dollars (later peaking beneath Sia in actual sales)

Still can't believe Lord ruined Her impressive 1989 single run with Out of the Charts.

People hyping it up since the album came out when it sounds like repetitive garbage . I Know Places should've been the next single

Unapologhetto sold 3.5M WW.

1M codes means it's still expected to sell 2.5M+ to match her previous success.

If she only sells 10,000 then it's safe to say she would've sold 1,010,000 WW at most if it wasn't ever free.

I was moreso rooting for Clean. New Romantics if She wanted to try to get a hit again.

You are aware that the code was used up? That means in theory, one million people downloaded ANTI. Now in reality there were some duplicates but she basically lost a huge portion of her buying audience

[ImmaSlave4u]

Naive to assume every single person who collected a FREE download would've shelled out $10+ for the actual album

Not really, because not every single album that leaks gets major media coverage + every article had a link leading to the free ANTI download on TIDAL.

Well, one million people downloaded it because it was FREE.

Every album leaks, and people can download albums for free too.

That 1M is some ******** like her dad on the streets in Barbados selling "Gucci bags" or whatever out of his van

I'll believe it if Nielsen says so. Not Camel-Z his streaming flop.

Yeah I never saw anything special about those either

Who this?

[Sanctuary]

I actually love OOTW, but the fact that her team literally wasted a single slot on it when it had already been released as a promo single over a year prior.

It's like they gave up when Adele released, but still wanted to release something to save face. All You Had To Do Was Stay, How You Get The Girl, I Wish You Would all robbed.
