A lot of gimmicks to get fans to stream, albums prices slashed and still no 100K, including streaming. 5 albums in, I thought she'd somehow get there. Oh well.

SO PROUD OF SCOTT AND THE OTHER THO.

It's funny how some people only complain about the streaming formula only when Demi gets her second #1.

Anyways I hope Same Old Love jumps into the top 10 next week

So Demi and Selena got their #1s. They both won.

For all of you who say "Streaming is king", it really isn't. There have been countless surveys done on the general public on whether they're likely to subscribe to a streaming service, and over 75-80% have said no. It's really only popular with tweens and teens.

I think it's fair for streaming to be included in singles certifications, because it makes sense due to the fact that you're streaming a song.

But you can't stream an album, you can only individually play the songs within it, and I think it's completely unfair that artists are getting robbed of the #1 spot just because of some made up formula to make streams "equivalent" to sales. That's just the industry's way of trying to inflate numbers to make it look like the artists that are out there right now aren't flopping with the general public.

Sales will ALWAYS be more important than streams.

As much as i love Demi and happy for her, i have to agree with this. Including streaming into top albums just does not make sense. Especially, when they already included streaming into single chaty

[ceremonials]

Not bad.

[Swim]

Where the haters at now?

Congrats to Demi! Pentatonix did quite well so I'm pretty proud of them.

[justaspark]

demi fairly consistent with her other albums so I don't really get why people are saying she's flopping.

[maurixrosup]

[Grumpy Gills]

10k is nothing.

Weeknd won despite being behind by 37k in sales vs. Five Finger Death Punch.
Furious won despite behind behind by 30k in sales vs. All Time Low.
