Once album sales were dead, can we say that now streaming is dead?

Not in this case. 

Sam Smith blew their career up by moving to far away from the GP fanbase they cultivated with the generic adult contemp stuff and trying to pull an Erotica with the Gloria era. 

Effectively killed their career and created the space lewis capaldi filled

like with Lizzo, Sam lacks a dedicated fanbase, they relied entirely on the GP, who lost interest. their last hit only blew up thanks to TikTok. their labels are powerless because paying for radio payola or playlisting no longer works in 2026

no? it just means they have no fans

Honestly I hate what's been going on with Sam in terms of their public image, truth be told there's some clear homophobia/transphobia going on there. I've never seen so many people say they like their music but feel the need to vicerally remind everyone how much they hate them when their name gets brought up.
