For me, it's not about downplaying current artists success, it's that it's just not truly comparable with success from the 80s. It's like comparing ho...

To you maybe, to a lot of people they don't. I personally, along with many others who have an interest in charts and sales, have always had issues wit...

What is wrong with bringing it here, where we talk about the industry and it's practices? Are we supposed to just agree and go along with everything t...

But it's not the album that is being successful, it's, it's tracks. You can have a hugely successful album from the physical era, critically accla...

His point was, having successful and popular tracks, is as important, as having successful albums. I'd go as far to say, it's all that matters. Most p...

What goes the same for them, compared to those acts? Could you be more specific, it could be all manner of things, from the above stats. Then again...

Yes, kind of like, AC/DC has more listeners but perhaps less fans, say people who just want to hear HTH, BIB, YSMANL, HV, Thunderstruck etc, whereas M...

Yes, that's a good point, about someone buying a physical copy and also streaming the album and both being counted. In the physical era, it would ...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is doxxing not, searching for and publishing private information on the internet, with malicious intent. I respond throug...

It's not that clear cut, geographical location played a big part in what was available to you in the 80s. For instance, MTV was predominantly a US thi...

Yes, I've no real issues with it, but I do get where Tommy is coming from, in so much as some speculation has some basis to it and other things are ju...

To be fair, she's not the only one. Snoop Dogg done one 1st, then Katy and most recently, there was one with Christina Aguilera and someone called Lat...

Actually, in retrospect, I am still a member of the general public and haven't been removed, as I did listen to a few tracks from her new album, on Sp...

Yes, it would seem so Landi. Apparently the general public now comprises solely of the people that listen to TS monthly on Spotify!!

Let's be honest here Matias, it's people like you that are the problem on this thread. As always you interject into other peoples peaceful and respect...

Last time I checked there were just under 8B people on this planet. 113m is 0.01% of 8B.

Only streaming numbers are live and update automatically, all the other metrics need to be recalculated and added manually, when an overall update is ...

Yes, she doesn't seem very prevalent in the UK either these days. Last thing I seen or heard from her, was a TV advert for a food delivery service cal...

It's still all speculation of future unknowns. Best Just to ignore these kind of posts though, if you don't like to see them or read them, as they are...

I guess because people like to speculate. The TS comments section is littered with speculative posts about subjects such as, how many EAS she'll add n...

I wouldn't say he's removed himself from popular culture (although maybe he has), he's just not using some of the contemporary methods, that younger g...

She reminds me of these people (mainly women) who become obsessed with plastic surgery, as they age, thinking it makes them more aesthetically beautif...

That's what the point was about though, will her tracks still be huge in the future, not if she will be remembered. Obviously, she's going to be remem...

Why though, are Americans really that conservative? I thought she looked stunning in some of the photos in that book, although I was never a fan of th...

Oh I'm actually 51 now, forgot I aged another year, last Sunday lol
