    lol it's so much you not taking into consideration with a blanket average.

    on both albums the album is not streamed entirely. for the most part it would be a couple of songs getting the majority of streams daily.

    if we go the album route, an album with less songs will obviously have more streams per song since you can listen to it 3 times as much as one on a 33 song album

    And on the flipside, an album with 33 songs only needs to be listened to one time and it receives damn near triple the amount of streams that a 12 song album gets off of one full listen

    Who is listening to the same album three times in one day in 2026 lmao

    you're working backwards from your conclusion and choosing metrics to support it

    streaming time isn't some finite resource, i don't forego listening to B's on the Table because I want to listen to Janice STFU, i'm not some machine streaming every hour of the day lmao. i simply listen to a song moreso than the others because I enjoy it.

    additionally, you can take your silly argument and extrapolate it to extremes. GNX did what, 379M streams first week, call it 31.5M per song? Scary Hours 2 did 122M streams first week, wow 40.6

    Scary Hours 2 being bigger than GNX wow case closed I suppose

    devastating

    No, I'm thinking logically about how big some of these artists fanbases are

    If two artists both have millions of fans each, obviously a 30-song album would create more streaming replay value longterm than a 10-song album

    The lowest five streamed songs on the long album are generating more overall streams for the album, whereas five songs on the short album is half of the project

    Hit = Top 40 I'm assuming?

    I Want You Back entered in November 1969 but I guess it broke the Top 40 sometime in January.

    again so by your logic

    scary hours 2 is somehow an all time absolute commercial classic doing over 40M per song first week, leaving GNX or even DAMN in the dust

    just want to make sure we're on the same page. i don't agree with this point whatsoever but thats your angle? or is it possible that extrapolating streams per song to invalidate total streams/popularity is perhaps a bad faith angle

    Scary Hours 2 is an EP, not a full-length project

    The streams-per-song argument is to present an example of how longer albums can have a good chunk of songs that aren't popular relatively speaking but still add a massive number to the album's overall total simply because of how big the artist's fanbase is

    ah ok theres an arbitrary number of songs to utilize this argument for

    whats the minimum amount of songs? i have to update my sales forum argument rulebook

    Anyone have Billboard Pro and can back this up?

  • y'all are nuts arguing over who among the top streaming artists on the planet is getting more streams lol. Drake, Kendrick, Taylor Swift, whatever, they're all massive global superstars.

    You highlighted the wrong album that's currently outselling Showgirl in 2026.

    Olivia Dean's album having 250K more units than Showgirl in 2026 despite releasing before it is absolutely insane
