Tell me how much of those 500M is from Usa and lets convert it to see if it's 2x platinum or not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arturo 40,746 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Also who is to say a streaming age artist is easily going to get 500m with flop songs just because they’re streaming age artists? Khalid’s latest disclosure collab track has about 1 million less Spotify streams than Stupid Love. Does that make Stupid Love much more of a hit than KYW because Gaga became big in the digital sales age? No. They’re both songs released in the streaming age with the same amount of streams so they should be judged the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t just convert the streams and get to a song sales equivalent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her old hits still get a lot of radio play though and her last 2 albums went top 10 in a bunch of countries despite having little radio play and promo. She deserves to be bigger.

Point is very clear. For a streaming artist streams are all he's got when 80% of it's total song numbers are from streams and 20% from pure sales. As I said from that 500M total per song, 150M must be from usa...does that convert to 2x plat or less Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that IN THE STREAMING AGE it doesn’t matter if your debut is was years earlier or not. You’re probably going to have the same amount of streams to pure sales ratio. Shallow’s ratio is the same as that as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adarsh Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Why do you guys even fight about Gaga vs Billie/Dua etc? Of course they have huge streaming numbers and it’s very impressive. But none of them even come close to the cultural impact Gaga had with her debut and sophomore albums.I assume Gaga fans should be happy with that and not drag others females.
