Enya doesn't tour. She makes enough money that there is no need and happily resides in her castle overlooking the Irish coast.
What kind of "Xtinct is happily sitting on the voice chair for 6 years" tea. And why isn't her album shown on her Metacritic page? Whew, her other panned efforts though!
Did Enya outlast Madonna? Dark Sky Island has outsold Rebel Heart despite Madonna having AAA producers, massive promotion, and high budget music videos. Dark Sky Island is also a whole ten points higher on Metacritic.
streaming is irrelevant it brings in no coins, live music>>>album sales>>>the rest
that's just an excuse for people with poor touring and albums averages
No, some artists appeal more to streaming audiences and that is that.
It's time to accept that this is how things are now.
Streaming is taking over. There is nothing anyone can do about it. Sales are going to be dead within a few years and artists are going to be making money primarily from endorsements and their tours. Some artists have accepted this and are fine with it but others need to stop living in 2008 and move on. Sales are never going to recover. If Spotify is scrapped, then illegal downloading will rise again.
