this formula is going to do more harm than good. The RIAA should created another division or whatever to deal with digital sales. IDGAF what you new rules supporters say digital sales do not equal physical sales in any form. i dont know why yall cant see a pattern of hyper inflation. this really cheapens out the music and artist even more. these platnium certifications will mean nothing soon. The RIAA and Big 4 is up to something.

also there are so many loopholes and grey area with this formula. it will no doubt create issues with lawsuits and compensation disputes on many fronts for artists and songwriters. Thats cool that these new school artists get to see the effects of this formula immediately but what about dead, inactive and artists that have been dropped from labels. songwriters and producers are going to expect royalty checks damn near daily. this will open a whole new ugly can of worms dealing with sample credits and estate issues. if yall think old bitter artists suing for throw away mixtape tracks is bad its going to nastier.

and also this will be an exploited system with lots of fraud

a 24 hour day there is 1440 minutes.

lets divide that by 3. 3 is the average length charting rap song

that leaves 480. that 480 is 480 times this song can be downloaded in a 24 hour span

if 10 downloads=1 sale then litterally a person can stream a song all day and help an artist sale 48 albums

now that isnt a bad thing if you are a stan but take your dickrider glasses off and be fair

people used to listen to albums and songs all day they bought and only counted towards total sales in a one time point of sale event

this new rules yall dickriding is jipping the system. they are equating that music intake as if a nigga walked in the record store and went to the counter 48 times in one day. BULLSHIT and UNBALANCED

heres where it gets even more fucked up

you are subscribed to a music service for 10 bucks a month. 10 divided by 31 is .33 cents a day

.33 would be the overhead cost to help an artist download his song 400+ times a day to help him sale 48 copies

so in other words the RIAA is saying that this consumer not only "went to the counter" with this album 48 times but bought ALL 48 copies for .33 cents. 48 fucking copies of an album for .33 cents how is anyone making anything?

48 physical copies of an album in a store would be $800

now lets say you are an artist under pressure from your label and social media about your sales figure

a dumb artist could by 10 music subscription accounts for 10 devices for only $100 a month.

a showboat artist could buy 100 music subscriptions and get a team with 100 devices for $1000 a month

now take them 48 daily sales and multiply that by 10 or a 100. thats 480 to 4800 A DAY

4800x7=33600k a week, 134,000 units a month from $1000 monthly investment of streaming

This means an artist is selling his albums each at 7/10 of a penny. no wonder rap is CHEAP and GENERIC

This is the same shit that happened during great depression and to germany in ww2. everyone will have platnium it will be worthless plaque and classification

these new rules werent thought out well and the formula is a ponzi scheme waiting to happen

Epic!

As opposed to companies just out right buying albums like it has been "rumored" b4 by others.... It'll always be something but as always the cream will always raise to the top so it's no big deal

I'm okay with streams being counted, but 10 singles being equivalent to an album?

This just gives artists less incentive to make quality albums and more incentive for catchy singles

Pitbull and Flo-rida going diamond

So I got a play a album 10 times for it to register as a sale for the artist?

Tomp post is interesting cause I been wondering how much of my £120 a year goes to the artist. I'm assuming the artist negotiates a deal with each streaming service. As in you get a better deal the bigger artist you are?

Something had to be done to modernise the way records are counted.

Streaming is better than downloading illegal for money obviously but artists get practically nothing for streaming. All their funds come from touring now. The real problem occurs for all the people in the background. The artwork, producers, mixers, engineers, instrumentalists. All the people who don't get money for touring.

No you have to buy 10 single tracks from the same album for it to count as a album sale
