One hill I’m willing to die on is that streams are not sales & streaming a song 1,250 times is not the same as buying it & we should not compare achievements by artists who were able to get people to do the latter to the shifted goal posts defined by the low-stakes passive music consumption of today

yeah, streaming a song however many times does not remotely equate to actual sales, especially considering how poorly streaming services pay artists- like if some musician in the '70s claimed he sold the equivalent of a million records because they played it on the radio a lot
