Bear 7,515 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I'm not an expert at this so educate me if I'm wrong, but I think they need to tweak the formula for this slightly. Sales should be worth a lot more against streams than the current ratio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not preaching anything, believe whatever makes you happy (that's what I do )... I don't think it's suspicious at all, as Kanye's album is not available to purchase at any major retailers, digitally or physically. You can only buy it from his website which has not been advertised at all. And even if it was, it's only been available on Tidal for two months, which most people refuse to get, so the majority will have likely torrented it already before it became available to buy.
