RIP, gone but not forgotten.

I believe that marriage isn't

Between a man and woman but between love and love

And I believe you when you say that you've lost all faith

I hate their streaming to albums formula. The only way that makes sense should be proportion.

For example, for a 5 track album:

Track 1 (the hit lead single) is streamed 200000 times
Track 2 is streamed 5000 times
Track 3 is streamed 50000 times
Track 4 is streamed 10000 times
Track 5 is streamed 500 times

You take the lowest common denominator of those numbers. Which is 500. The album has been listened through all the way 500 times. Because Track 5 is part of the album and ****ing matters. The rest are individual single streams.

Tell me I'm wrong.

What is a hit song without big airplay?

In countries that don't have integrated main singles charts (Israel, Ecuador, South Africa, etc), their music charts are literally only dependent on airplay.

they need to get rid of free Spotify and everyone will get on board + rip iTunes

This is silly because there's no identical litmus test for consumption of a digital album or physical album.

Can you be certain that everyone who purchases one has actually listened to the entire album? Does every track on an album need to be listened to for it to be popular? Because I'm pretty sure most people who buy albums are motivated by interest generated by singles and then only listen to their favorite songs on it.

Katy sends special packages and birthday cakes to radio stations to get big airplay specifically for the charts. Why would you want her hard work to not be rewarded?

and what did Drake send that got him so depressed?

I just remembered what Kworb said that in the future people's brains will be tracked to find what songs they really like

Drake doesn't even do music videos or performances so why would he bribe radio stations and pay Billboard when he isn't interested in doing basic promotion to begin with. Not his fault everything he does just jumps to #1 globally

Who denies the fact that 80% of the big artists have radio deals for their singles? Katy is () a digital and streaming monster, she never depended on the radio for a hit. If u have an example of KP song that became successful (top10) bc of the radio, feel free to tell us

radio will still matter, bc radio support boosts sales and streams. But it shouldn't count into the hot100 formula. Radio stations are CORPORATIONS, not the actual GP. For example, new artists do not afford signing a radio deal (e.g. Cold water today = +18,000 )

ff @ him not being interested, we did nut forget that post he wrote about getting #1 only to be destroyed by Abel, since then he's probably been spending the entire budget on radio to avoid another humiliation like that

WUIV is a good example imo

But it'd be interesting to see what the charts look like without it
