    every artist would love that fo sure

    still f***ing stupid how it's allowed tho. these stats should be measuring the popularity of an album, not how insane the fans are

    100k people buying an album is the same as 3.7 million people streaming a full 20 track album twice. S*** aint right

    when you buy an abum you are spending money and listening to it multiple times most likely. What do you think it should be then cause its way easier to stream an album twice then actually buy it.

    didn't say they shouldn't count

    I just think they should count less than they currently do.

    you're braindead if you think the algorithm is currently good considering people are using these charts to compare the popularity of albums

    they should knock it down from 1500~ streams per sale to 1000 streams per sale

    yes it's way easier to stream an album twice rather than buy it
    but it's also way easier to drop $100 on 10 albums rather than rack up 15k streams. which'll take 31 days of constant 24/7 listening

    that's probably fair tbh especially since bundles don't count now

    Crazy that she's 33 and majority of her fans are still teenagers. She'll be pushing 50 still making music for them lol.

    Do you listen to her music? Most of her albums are more mature than SOS

    so is SZA arguably the 3rd biggest female artist now behind Taylor/Adele? doubt Cardi/Ariana Grande outdo that with their next albums.

    this gotta be the best time in a long ass time to be a r&b artist. sza/summer competing with the pop artists

    Ariana's last album dropped over 2 years ago. Cardi has only 1 album to her name and that album dropped over 4 years ago.

    I believe Ariana has peaked commercially. I feel the same about Cardi, too.

    SZA had only one album to her name that grew organically in success and so whatever she followed that up with was always doing to to damage upon release.

    I'd say right now, for female acts, it's Taylor Swift and then everyone else and the gap is huge. Rihanna has never been one to put up massive first-week numbers but we'll see what she does with her next album. She definitely has the hype and anticipation on her side but even then, she won't be coming anywhere close to the numbers Taylor is putting up.

    yea I can't see Ariana outperforming her thank u next era, everything went perfectly for her then

    sza might even be #2, wouldn't surprise me if her album outperforms Adele's longterm since Adele's has done fairly poorly
