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).

the case has been made by young people against streaming

why pay monthly for the same couple of albums you can buy just once and not pay again.

Thanks to a year old video's youtube steams being counting in first week sales

Not true. It would’ve done way more if that was counted

What sample was in free smoke?

I see drake, and 9 writers on that ONE track alone

What were you listening to? The sample is on the opening to the song.

 

[blizzard man]

argue about how someone 'lost' by selling 361,000 units of their product but you still get a bi weekly paycheck from ADP brehs
