Would you agree that the beef, the Adonis reveal, God’s Plan video, Sicko Mode, and In My Feelings should count as big cultural moments in just 2018?

Nice for what erasure

I think the beef definitely was

Sicko Mode as well

Maybe the God’s Plan video, but I wouldn’t say that the song nor In My Feelings were “cultural moments”

They’re gonna say these streams don’t count because they’re “$1 per billion streams”

Not really. Would you say it’s a “flawed metric” to combine all different versions of albums into their final numbers like it has been done?

OTR is 17x platinum and has 2.9 billion (all versions) on spotify... wap is not close to that

That sss4U and she will bout to be over that this weekend

That’s fair

Luther gang we winning

Poetic justice really a classic man

I remember when they tried to dismiss Bad Bunny’s streams because they came from “poor” countries

That’s not what happens though. You don’t combined the streams of the clean and explicit versions of an album. You don’t combine all the streams of a deluxe album and the standard version. If that was the case After Hours would have 24 billion streams on Spotify

“All versions” is a flawed stat man

aight bruh so we gonna act like there wasnt a remix. both original and remix have over 1 billion

And @Mafia_boss, even if we’re combining the streams, a song like Save Your Tears has more total streams then. It’s a massive stretch to say OTR is the biggest song of the streaming era

the stream luther movement is wing

The streams aren’t combined though is the point. Nobody says Save Your Tears has 3.9 billion streams

The streams of a the clean and explicit versions of the album get combined I believe. Remixes count too, the only thing that doesn’t get combined is the live versions of the album/song on the BB charts. That’s how BTS managed to stay at #1 with all them remixes back in 2021 lol. CC: @iHype unless i’m mistaken

What makes it flawed? BB literally counts all versions combined lol. Would you have liked it if each individual version of HUT charted separately on the BB200?

I specified in the US.

They do not. Spotify recognized Un Verano Sin Ti as the highest streamed (non-greatest hits collection) album of all time, at 18 billion streams.

But an album like Scorpion has 10 billion explicit and 10 billion clean streams, but isn’t recognized as the highest streamed album of all time because the streams aren’t combined

Because they are combined...

We are talking specifically about Spotify streams.

Spotify (and other DSPs) does not combined clean + explicit streams or deluxe + standard streams.

What they do is take the higher total of the clean / explicit, and for deluxes they just add the total streams of the deluxe songs to the total streams of the standard album

he needs to add a mexico leg to the GNX tour like he did with world wide steppers
