The streaming list is weird.

Katy Perry is at 1B+ with PRISM and the album isn't there?

Beyoncé is at 900k+

What if Gaga called LG5 "1"?

Yay!

I hope Gaga does well with streaming in the LG5 era. I know she's more of an album seller but it'd be nice to see her name on this list too

Ohh it was recently updated only back in March this year so I don't know...

[Lord Temptation 11,209]

If I were an artist I would be so embarrassed to be on any streaming list.

[Didymus 32,818]

I don't get it

Adele's 21 is supposed to be the only album released during the "streaming era" to really influence the list of most traditionally successful albums of all-time with streaming, but she's not even in the top 20 of the most popular streaming service  

If anyone can post the streaming numbers of that Spotify top 20 I'd appreciate it a lot.

YES at Bat out of Hell in that list.
