So now these artists need to be able to actually tour to make money, which means people would have to pay to see them. Or they need to rack up a bunch of endorsement deals. And if the album is not selling, record labels are going to start to look for other ways to recoup and make money, because most record labels don't make money off of an artists' endorsements.

Popularity is fleeting and people are fickle. There's always a bigger picture. And someone who sold more than another shouldn't be playing second fiddle because their album wasn't listened to for free as much as the other person. **** is ridiculous.

Your argument is completely different from how the charts works so this is 0 in being a valid argument.
You're ranting about artists not making money from streaming. The Billboard 200 doesn't measure what artists and albums are making money. It's measuring what artists and albums are being consumed the most by the public.
"There's always a bigger picture."
So then why rant and complain about the Billboard 200 not being controlled the way you like if it's only a small picture of popularity?  Move on, and don't look to the chart.
"And someone who sold more than another shouldn't be playing second fiddle because their album wasn't listened to for free as much as the other person"
An album that was bought by 100,000 people and streamed by 1,000 isn't more popular than an album bought by 99,999 people and streamed by 1,000,000 people. Thankfully Billboard recognizes this and includes streaming in 2016.

I'm bored. I'm ranting about what EYE feel should be, not the reality of how the charts work. You keep trying to tell me why and how the charts work and I keep basically telling you EYE don't care.
Lets agree to disagree.

So then why complain about the charts if you don't care how hey work? 
"A free stream shouldn't put artists ahead of ones with actual album sales  "
"EYE don't care about how the charts work!!!"
A slight crazed tea.

I don't want it to go away, I just want it to make more sense in terms of a full album.

No, no. I'm telling you EYE don't care about YOUR opinion. So why you keep interrupting my rant with "but this is how" and "that's not true" has run its course. EYE don't care about your opinion. Your opinions about my disdain for these asinine charts are on the bubbling under chart for things EYE care about. It has slipped down my "EYE Care" chart due to the lack of free ****s streamed by me. I have none to give anymore.
Good day, sir.

Without looking at these pages and wondering how we are at page 50.
Ya'll need to not take album positions so seriously especially when your fave is bringing you quality music.
Worry about the overall sales of the era.
It aint that deep
But this thread is a bit of a kii

This was so extra, considering I haven't even bought or streamed Ariana OR Drake's album. But K.

Salty idiots are the literal WORST. LMAO!

Your rant is in a public thread.
Replying to the post is not interrupting you. 
And if you didn't care my opinions then you wouldn't have really kept engaging and replying with paragraphs to respond to them, but okay.

I'm salty but you're racking up WPs being salty over my saltiness. Right. 
BREAK
Anyway, I'm ready for Bey to return to her rightful spot, with actual sales.

Ariana needs to change up that tired hairstyle that she has been rocking since 9/11. That is exactly why she's debuting at #2.
I do love Into You though.

fff iHype I love you
OT: It's just so ironic that Ari is (maybe) losing because of streaming when streaming was her thing.

You would have thought somebody's puppy just got snatched up or something.
I said FROM THE BEGINNING the double counting was some bs and that it was gong to bastardize the charts. Streaming should count solely for the hot 100 but it doesn't. It is what it is.
Some people are debuting outside the top 10 due to lack of streams. their stans have a reason to be bothered

EYE am screaming 
I hope some of you are worried about the long term success of this album tho. Like, sure it can debut at #1 but so what if it runs out of steam.
