Streaming era started in 2014 lmfao you dont have a clue

That helps my point champ but sure

Streaming started to gain actual importance on the hot 100/ 200 in like 2014.
Drake released successful albums prior and after that cmon

It was dope af

Only ktt hated it ofc

And streaming didn't start counting towards the Billboard 200 until late 2014/early 2015.

Take Care and Nothing Was the Same dropped in 2011 and 2013 respectively and are still charting today. If people want to stream your album, they will. It's that simple.

Artists can't help what era they're born in.

Still to this day have no idea who NF is

Nobody and I repeat nobody streamed music in 2010

not true at all

If you can’t understand the nuance, have a good rest of the day.

If YOU knew and understood the nuance, you wouldn't have mentioned the year Spotify launched to me and you'd know that streaming didn't start counting on Billboard's charts until late 2014/early 2015 so every album/song released before then didn't benefit from streaming. Drake, Adele, Kendrick, Eminem, B.I.G. 2Pac, the Beatles, Bob Marley and Michael Jackson all have albums currently charting which were released before streaming started counting on Billboard's charts. That proves that you must not have released an album in the streaming era for it to chart well. It just has to be an album enough people care about to stream consistently, regardless of how old it is.

I respect your position my friend. You’ve put in a lot of work for this thread.

This chart doesn’t mean s*** in streaming era

proves that a lot of people like to listen to trash

There were 1.5 million paid streaming subscriptions in 2010...... There are now ~72 million. That's 50x more now... Relative to today, NOBODY had a paid music subscription in 2010. Paid music downloads were still king by a wide margin.

Music streaming was 7% of the market in 2010 and 80% in 2019. Don't say something is inaccurate unless you have facts and information to prove your point. You are wrong

culture 1 and 2 having the exact same weeks and being dropped on almost the exact same day is wild

its ok that u werent on the streaming train in 2010 yet

i was tho ;)

Yeah and you're a nobody, you've proven my point

(jk btw luv u)

Whole lotta Drake

love seeing Birds do that well, great album

Death Race for Love added.
