Nothing is really changing. Streaming is huge now.
for singles

Albums were still based purely on sales


yummy

Kendrick and Big Sean weren't already platinum?

I think we overstate hip hop's selling power tbh.


SUPREME

Adele is going to go beyond diamond at this rate

But I wonder if the sales of a single only count after the album is released

It makes sense tbh. This is how people listen to their music now, u have to change with the times.

Glad my faves slayed when they did because this shit is a joke

I don't like this. They could have done an extra streaming award.

Because now people will shove nothing but hits on a project and call it album. I can play track one 1500 times and it counts as the purchase of the whole album...

Some people will say that this cheapens the whole thing, but people are streaming more than buying, so you have to acknowledge that and roll with the times.

Zankou.
