My reading comprehension is not poor, you’re just delusional

It’s like talking to a wall

Music itself is intangible. We are moving into a digital society more and more every year. There’s nothing more fire to me than artists being forward thinking and creating with and adapting to the tools of their time.

Kanye did the open casket to the CD in 2013. Drake is simply a modern artist creating with the tools of his era and time

You can be on streaming as well as still doing physical media though. It doesn’t have to be one with the death of the other. Art should always be physically maintained, not just in music either. This digital s*** won’t be forever, we don’t own anything we consume.

Is streaming super convenient and cheap and easy to use? Sure, but this s*** is not sustainable whatsoever and definitely will not last forever

wtf are track equivalent albums

my digital download of fatD gon last me my entire life

Physical music should exist but it shouldn’t count the same as digital avenues of consumption imo. I understand why it does though. It’s hard to adjust and scale plus physical media helps make the numbers look better and brings in cash.

Ultimately it’s up to the person who’s looking at the data to be able to understand what they are looking at.

Like yeah objectively Trav outsold Drake but deep down we all know he didn’t have the hotter album. And there’s nothing wrong with that either

you said this perfectly

you sure you don't stan the papi goat

Nah I’m a Drake fan for sure but my absolute favorite rapper is Kanye tbh

People just take the anti Drake meme to far sometimes

you and shalei should be friends. that's his top 2 too

you say Drake ain't in your top 2 im blocking you lol

yall think trav fans gonna get their $5 vinyls in time for christmas?

theyve only been waiting 3 months so far and they still on label created stuck in cali, 2 more months should clear it right?.... right?

my boy got finessed hard spent well over $200 in merch and vinyls (multiple covers to, prior to the $5 vinyl release which he was cheesed about) and he still aint get s***, its funny but its also sad

told him to DM trav about it

Bet u stopped playing that album after the first week

try again bozo

Refresh that page w****

If you were a serious musician would you rather people
a) Stream your music
b) buy a shirt your team designed bc it looks cool

Dumbo above me

clown above me

now what

Lets be real
The gimmicks are sad
Its like when Kenny chesney did tour bundles to outsell DLDT and then cancelled the tour right after
I’m just calling it how I see it

Cornfield Kenny >>>

i love these taylor swift capers ITT who know nothing about numbers are consistently talk about taylors GLOBAL streaming numbers on SPOTIFY ONLY

yes. taylor swift is a bigger global artist. yes taylor swift is a bigger artist on SPOTIFY.

drake gets 60% of ALL of his streams from Apple Music only.

so for example if drake had 10 billion AMERICAN streams on Spotify in a year, that means he got in total 25 billion AMERICAN streams overall (40% of 25 billion is 10 billion leaving 15 billion which is 60% coming from Apple Music).

its been 6 years and they still cant wrap their heads around the fact that yes, Apple Music is smaller by market share but drake dominates it so hard that the majority of his streams come from there

also pop acts flop on apple music HARD. they literally ONLY have spotify numbers

Travis had vinyls included in his first week sales that the consumers didn’t even get lmao. Think about that for a second
Bro scammed his own fans just to dress his numbers up

c) make money off of your brand

What if I don't care about Apple?

sure

Taylor is the biggest artist on the platform with 400+ songs over 1B streams

Drake is the biggest on the platform with 0

Agreed!
