What

I'm going back to school soon so this is good to know 

OT: Yeah, I have Spotify premium and I subscribed to Amazon music for my grandmother's Alexa. They had that "three months of serve for 99 cents" sale which was perfect timing tbh 

When I graduate I'm gonna be depressed that I'll have to pay the full price for Spotify and Amazon Prime

I would be in hell if I had to relay on streaming services for my music. Unless it's Gaga, you can't find any good stuff.

150 streams = 1 song sale, no?

1500 streams = 1 album sale

It should be sth like 300streams = 1 sale tho 

Imo streams shouldn't equal sales at all unless they're coming from paid subscribers

Free listening just doesn't seem like a tangible thing to me...if that makes sense  'Cause the consumer isn't paying for the music, the ad companies are compensating the streaming provider in order to have ads plopped before a video or between songs.

Spoiler

Definitely not just saying that 'cause that'd put Gaga way higher up on the charts than she is now or anything

I've been up for like three days straight, I hope I'm making sense

I pay for Apple Music every month, and also buy the albums of artists I like. I really believe it’s important to support the artist.

I just buy albums from iTunes and illegally download singles most of the time  I also watch some stuff on YouTube but that’s only for some cool music videos now and then but not often at all  

I’ve been considering Apple Music lately, can someone tell me if it’s worth it and what I’d be gaining with it and what I’d be losing please?

No I don’t use steaming services. 

It’s kinda odd but I pay for Netflix which is for streaming movies & tv series but I don’t pay to listen to music. Isn’t that weird?

I get what you mean but the hot 100 tracks POPULAR tracks aka the music the most people are listening. That's why youtube is factored in and so are free streams: even if people aren't paying, they're listening and the song is popular

Well me I'm using Apple Music because Spotify doesn't offer the student discount in Quebec 

its just way more convenient. with Apple Music also your iTunes purchases are there with your streaming music which isn't the case with Spotify ! Spotify is like better for playlists and stuff but I dont very listen to pre made playlists anyway !

I pay for Spotify.

I hope Joanne benefits from this change on the BB200. She still has to beat Born This Way.

Spotify premium is cheap and it's everything, offline music makes my life complete
