[Bboystyle]

Infamous - 595,397,032 streams
E.1999 Eternal - 314,745,933

Nearly 2 to 1

Just for good measure
Creepin On Ah Come Up - 144,615,515
Add that number up with the one I said before
You are looking at two quadruple platinum albums that can’t outstream a gold album from an underground NY group

Ya'll still talking about this shyt nikkas can't fukk with Anthony Henderson period and everyone bit his style period facts.

That wasn't a spin. I expect that a lot of these albums are going to be driven by the singles in terms of streaming. I brought it up because you are still running with this narrative that these streams make Infamous more timeless which is essentially the same as when people run with the narrative that an album is good because it sold more. And I don't know how you conclude that Infamous has stood the test of time more than any 90's album when there's clearly other albums ahead of Infamous and clearly some of them have more even plays distributed through the track list than Infamous even the ones that have less total streams.

Context.
Infamous is the only gold album on that list.
it wasn’t a commercial juggernaut and shouldn’t be right there with Pac, Biggie, Dre, Wu Tang, Will Smith, etc.
You could make an argument for Illmatic as it took longer to go gold and is more evenly distributed. Not to mention has fewer songs.
I’ll post the song by song numbers for infamous later today. There were a couple other songs with numbers in the Temps Rising range as I recall.

Without a doubt. They are an iconic legendary group. One of the biggest groups from a commercial standpoint. But that was back in the day. Nowadays, that popularity has decreased tremendously. The streaming numbers tell the tale, but we all know it even outside of that. What does that say about the music? It didn’t stand the test of time.

It wouldn't be there if not for three songs and YOU.

It wouldn't be there if not for three songs and YOU.

It also wouldn’t be The Infamous without those three songs. And Give Up The Goods has more streams than Temps Rising.
I can assure you I am responsible for no more than 100,000,000 of those streams.

I'm not saying if those songs weren't on the album. I'm saying it's obvious that specifically, "Shook Ones Pt. 2" and "Survival Of The Fittest" account for most of the listens as opposed to it evening out to where it at least looks like the album is veing streamed vs just two or three songs.

This is true of virtually every album.

 

[JustCKing]

This is true of virtually every album.

Not at all. For example, "Still Dre" is like 750-800 million streams. 2001 as a whole has like 2.6 billion streams. This isn't a case like Infamous where one song accounts for like 55% of the streams. I'm sure it's not like that for a lot of the other albums either.

2 billion come from 3 songs though.
I stand by my assertion that virtually all albums have a majority of their streaming come from 3-4 songs.
Illmatic and 36 are the exceptions I’ve seen so far.

You still have 600 million listens though as opposed to the 100 million left of Infamous. Roughly 25% of 2001 listens come from other songs on the album. Whereas roughly 16-17% of Infamous come from other songs on the album. 83% of the listens of Infamous is three songs. And there's this:

At least 6 tracks of one album have to be streamed to make streams count for the album, with 12 tracks being the maximum counted.
