What is SEA and TEA exactly

I know its sales by streaming but what does it stand for

Stream equivalent albums and track equivalent albums

Streaming services don't need to make profit?

They make profit from ads and premium subscribers, they don't need to make a profit off of each album's sale and they don't make profit off of each stream, unless you know of a service that charges per stream.

I'm a MASSIVE Rih fan and I haven't purchased the album because I spend $120 a year for Apple Music.

Before Apple Music I would spend like $25 MAX on Rih's newest album, and one other random artist per year.

The music industry has changed and BB200 would be completely irrelevant if they didn't include streams. BB200 has always been used to measure popularity and CONSUMPTION, it does not matter what medium it was consumed through.

That's like trying to argue songs that go #1 from radio don't count because radio is free.

Thanks iHype

Exactly! BB200 has to change with the times or someone else will take their spot and report accurate chart positions of the music industry. It'd be like not counting digital album sales as Itunes became more dominant in the early 2000s there is no argument.

I just don't understand how people are trying to discredit streaming that most people have to PAY for, or go out of their way to search and stream on Youtube, but they're totally fine with Radio airplay counting when its completely free and you have no control over what songs you consume.

[Junlin]

[Rihbeyga]

Absolutely agree with posts above. Streaming is reality, it's the most popular way of music consumption, it's legal and artist get paid from it, it's most accurate mark of popularity right now actually. Some of ya'll have to deal. We don't live in early 2000s

Whether you want to believe it or not, streaming is the future and will only get bigger, and sales will continue to diminish. I see it as a better and even more accurate way of measuring success. It shows what people are really listening to the most. Adele may have bigger sales, but that only represents her target market, who happen to buy CDs. Rihanna's target market is the ideal target market for streaming services, and I think everyone would agree that Rih's music is much more popular than Adele's at the moment.

The way Hip Hop & R&B dominated 2001-2006 I miss that time period.

[SweetTalker]

Can someone "convert" ANTI's total sales? Like what Billboard did with Adele's 21. Just for 2010 -2014 i guess.
