This gives a streaming equivalent ratio of 111.79. Shake It Off with 1.6 million combined sales in the UK, made up of 987,000 downloads and 72.9 million streams. This gives a streaming equivalent ratio of 118.9. Why are these ratios not exactly 100:1?
August 21, 20195 yr the different ratios for free and premium streams explains that. free streams are only 1:600.
August 21, 20195 yr Hoping endgame sales are decent at least because its peak is underserved (but its missing that info so im guessing not)
August 21, 20195 yr 4 million sellers for Taylor is impressive. I cant see any of her releases going forward repeating the success.
August 21, 20195 yr Look What You Made Me Do sold far better than I expected since it didn't feel like much of a hit, despite hitting #1.
August 22, 20195 yr I didn't know "Reputation" sold "that little amount of copies". Still great for an album that she didn't promote as much as the others.
August 22, 20195 yr Some impressive sales on both charts there. 1989 deserves to be her biggest selling album. One of the best pop eras of this last decade. reputation deserved better but the wrong singles were released.
August 24, 20195 yr I wonder how much higher her 1989 era singles sales would have been had they never been taken off streaming? I suppose that forced some more actual sales though. Pleased that Blank Space is Top 3. :wub: I wish Delicate had been a bigger success than that. :cry:
August 24, 20195 yr How has streaming benefitted Love Story? I’m quite surprised it’s a million seller :D
