Rap legend Kanye to make history

Although sales will likely account for a minuscule piece of his total (The Life of Pablo is for sale only on his website), Kanye West may be a contender for #1 on our next Sales + Plus Streaming (SPS) chart. Since going wide to Spotify, Apple Music and other services last week, preliminary data suggests Pablo (G.O.O.D./Def Jam) is on track for some 90m streams, which would put him at 60k+ SEA.

This would, as far as we know, be the first time an album hit #1 SPS with virtually no sales—a benchmark for the new era.

Controversy is said to be swirling around the question of how any sales Kanye's website generates will or won't be reported, causing some drama at the Industry Bible regarding whether the album would be eligible to chart.

This TEA+SEA system is so faulty and stretches the reality of popularity so much that it's borderline close to being fraudulent. A #1 album with no albums sold, this is so messy.

A much better solution to including TEA+SEAs would be to only include TEAs and SEAS according to the least downloaded or streamed track of the album (aka: How many complete album listens or downloads could be constructed according the amount of single tracks downloaded and streamed)

Why won't you just release your record normally, like everyone else.....

What those so called geniuses forgot with Tidal is that if you're making it hard for people to access the music, people will just... move on. Like, I still have never seen the video for Feeling Myself... In what world do artists want to make it hard for people to watch a ****ing video, or to get an album?

90m streams, which HDD itself mathematically demonstrated is impossible for the album to have at this point being a Tidal exclusive...

But congrats to him, whatever gets him and his fans off...

ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you.

Charts get you on the news, they get people talking and as a record company that's what you want them to do. :)
