Young Thug: 1 million albums sold-Certified. Merry Christmas nikkas!

[CrimsonTider]

who's streaming all of that stuff 1.5 Billion times man?

Real hiphop heads not you stuck in the 90s nikkas that are replaying the same dusty tapes from wack ass rappers that were imagining they were mafia members

nikkas can get all the plaques they want, but the money still gonna be looking funny in the light

What your kids Christmas looking like in the light?

Platinum don't mean what it used to, we living in a time were a few million streams is plat if this existed back in the early 2000's ja rule would be diamond status smh

nah wtf

you need 1,500 streams to equal 1 Album sold

No human being can listen to a song 1,500 times.

thats 100 hours of nonstop pure streaming straight to get 1 album sale

impossible for 1 person to do

But ppl go out and buy albums all the time especially in the 90s

Dude you can totally listen to one song1500 you've got to remember his music is largely pop music so it gets played at parties often and is a part of many playlists, like I've listened to plenty of songs a hundred or so times a month so it's possible for a lot of people, most his fans seem to never feel his music getting old on the radio and in concert so I can imagine they'd listen a few hundred, still it's not just their numbers it's multiple people, people buy albums but bruh it's like fukking millions upon millions upon millions of people streaming, be real

This is a nice finesse move by the labels... makes these artists work harder, have more streaming revenue for the labels while making them feel like they are succeeding with flops, despite the labels mismanaging them or just flat out not investing like in the case of Thug.

New times. When's the last time you drove to a music store and bought a CD? I can't even remember. Having your music heard or played a billion times would make anyone happy.

 

[Drip Bayless]

I guess

It's cool or whatever.. he makes good music but I'm tired of getting every other project except Hi Tunes


Where is Hi-Tunes?

He shook, he not tryna get that YRN album treatment

 

[Anti-Anime]

My dudes yachty and Kodak and ugly God and young ma next

 

[Chip Skylark]

So basically any artist can release mixtapes with original music on streaming services and get a plaque now? Nothing wrong with that.

But that's how people consume music now.

You cant punish artists for the way the music industry is.

 

[RAX 010]

Is this for the album wit the blue dress on?

 

[666 ReVeNGe 666]

It only took 8 albums and 15 singles over the course of 4 years

Platinum like wrappers on hershey's thats worthless

 

[KingOFKings]

This is not a reach. It's how music is measured today.

NOBODY is buying albums anymore. I don't understand why it's so hard to grasp...everything is internet/stream based. You are posting on an internet board.

Put it this way to keep it simple, the artists that are selling well over a million in 2016 would be going DIAMOND 10-15 years ago.
