Streaming has fucked up charts

[Say Lou Lou 7,258]

THIS IS SO UNFAIR

I haven't been a huge fan of ID as of lately, but they deserved that #1 spot, i mean, LOOK AT THOSE PURE SALES

The overrated DJ whose only good song is Wild Thoughts doesn't deserve that #1 spot . Fuck you America, i'm done with your ass

[Borchie 99]

yeah tbh putting streaming into album sales is stupid. it doesnt make sense

[Borchie 99]

like i get streaming is the biggest consuming jiggy whatever but u would count single sales into the album sales before idk

[Venice Bitch 9,084]

Imagine Flacons are trash 

[Kyoteki 10,178]

Sky is blue.

[Moonlight 1,454]

It doesn't make sense to me either.

Better luck next time.

He should thank Rihanna for that #1 album

Charts would work better spliting sales from streaming, two different charts sounds correct, it would make more sense combining streams+airplay, but sales? really?

Charts would have been a mess if they didn't count streaming in 2017. Y'all need to accept that streaming is how people consume music nowadays and it's only logic that they count it.

We're talking about album chart. Example: If album sells 1k in one week but has hit single is it fair to chart higher than album that sold 20k same week?

There's the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart which doesn't count streaming. Including airplay would be a disaster, it's much easier to manipulate than buying a couple banners on Spotify and Apple.

Not exactly, when Tidal purposely sabotaged Imagine Dragons. A bulk of DJ's Khaled streams are based on two songs and it has 23 tracks and 10 million guest features. It just reeks of desperation.

 then they should have a streams only chart (not sure if they have one) and say good-bye to the Billboard 200 mess.

Tidal didn't put ID on their front page and new releases, but they did DJ Khaled

Tidal has a tiny marketshare though, I doubt it would even accumulate the 3m streams they'd need to surpass Khaled in total SPS  

 

At the end of the day he had 100m more streams, they had 60k more sales and the final tally was super close. Seems quite fair, that number is pretty substantial and it's not like he had a minuscule audience that gave him an unfair advantage. And what if he had multiple features and tracks, they're allowed to do the same if they want to  I also think those 100m streams made the label more $ than 60k sales would (or around the same).
