Streaming Masters – Panic! at the Disco
Panic! at the Disco started off big in the US with their 2003 debut A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, but never managed repeat the success or reaching other markets with their next albums. Ironcially, 15 years into their career with all members gone except lead singer Brendon Urie did the “band” manage to get a global hit with High Hopes ! But how many streaming units is their entire catalog worth?
