That's pure sales as in physical product and digital downloads, which nobody buys anymore except old people who don't do streaming. And More Life didn't have a physical release so pure sales cut in half just off that. All that chart tells you is which artists got the oldest fans / the most rabid ones who will purchase albums to show their "dedication". If you look at that chart closely you'll see it's mostly rock or country artists doing the most pure sales (country/Rock fans are old) or Disney soundtracks (parents).

More Life the only Digital Only album on that list. More Life the only project with no videos on that list.

I saw no threads on Drake being there most streamed artist in the world this year but as soon as there’s an angle to hate there’s a thread :laugh:

If I made those threads niccas would call me a stan. I might just make em

This thing about singles, that should not affect your physical sales too much ask j. Cole, Beyoncé and on.

But yea of course Drake would’ve sold more if he sold cds cause there’s still super stans, old buy a cd at the gas station for my ride through Kentucky ass nikkas and weirdos who buy cds. And a few thousand that are on their Vinyl game.


I don’t even know why people talk about physicals separately it just shows which cd has the most off brand people buying it. Only soundtracks, greatest hits and other bullshyt. It’s really not a win to be on that list. Sell 400k vinyls then I’ll give you a dap. Besides Djs my mother is the only person I know who buys shyt on iTunes and cds. As far as streaming goes, Spotify now has a bigger revenue than UMG.
