I don't get how single sales and streams count for both the Hot 100 and the album chart, I think it's a bit unfair. They should not count the sales and streams from the singles towards the album units as they could unjustly inflate the popularity of the album. People liking one song of the album a lot doesn't mean they are interested in the album... The Hot 100 should go back to being a singles-only chart, with album cuts (songs that aren't actively promoted on the radio) being excluded from the chart. Let the album tracks count towards the album units, as they reflect the interest in the album more than the singles. I agree with all of this tbh.

But you have to remember, this isn't completely new (singles dominating music). This was the norm back in the 50s/60s/and early 70s. Music changes and the way people consume music changes. I personally don't mind the release of several singles before an album release, but I still appreciate albums, and, concept albums. If Billboard changes their formula to truly discern between album tracks and singles, then things will likely change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the industry? Yes because their main goal is to generate profit. But music is an art form and album sales are the least important of reasons to create it. Thankfully.

A whole record tells a story a random song no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
