That plaque isn't RIAA certified is it? If not it's basically just an awards 300 gave him to keep his morale up

This is why the artists are getting fucjed by streaming, and Spotify is the worst. People think "oh it's great for the artist? It's so convenient", nah at least 1500 streams = 1album sale. That number is just too high. That's equivalent to buying a 15 track album and listening to every song every day for 4 months

what I see is a framed photo with stats on it
this new model is terrible but I get it
Artist signed don't make heavy cash from streaming unless they own they shyt like Nipsy
or they produced like Daz

Does anyone know for how many projects and over what period of time this 1.5bn streams is from, because Young Thong is nowhere in sales or streams. 1.5bn streams yet he's not in the top 50 selling artists across the board this year.
This all Looking funny in the light

50 MOST STREAMED SONGS/ARTISTS OF 2016
Even with Lyor's 300 robots, He doesn't have a single that did more than 130m or a project that did 300m and Jeffrey first week was a generous 25m. How do you get to 1.5bn, is it for this years 3 altape releases or for multiple years?
We all know thugger don't move any sales needles.

Nah nikka its cheating no matter how u look at it. Combining projects for a plaque? Plenty artists out there today that get legit sales that don't have to do that shyt. I don't even mind the streaming but this shyt is straight lame.

How does Thug have 1.5 billion streams (indictive of multiple high charting hits, in which he really only has 2 - Best Friend and Lifestyle)
Migos have 1 billion streams, but multiple high charting singles + bad and boujee is already bigger than any Thug song.
Are they counting hooks/features as part of Thug (and other artists) streams too?!
This stream shyt counting is fugazi. Id just rather they lower the amount for gold/plat
250k for gold, 500k for plat makes more sense to me than combining 6-8 albums toncreate 1 platinum celebration

No song migos did is bigger than lifestyle. Lifestyle was a huge song. Thugger the new GOAT.
