It returned '21' to the Top 10 as well. The traditional music industry is destroyed. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 30, 08:12 8
- they could use this as a model for future big releases -- no-streaming windows for the first month or 90 days so that you have to buy the whole album -- nm - sweet baboo Nov 30, 08:13 7
  - I can't name anyone else who has the power to do this besides Taylor Swift and Adele. - Tim Nov 30, 08:14 3
    - Rhianna too maybe. -- nm - Loyola Nov 30, 08:15 2
      - Her last album sold 1.2 million, total. She's a singles artist. - Tim Nov 30, 08:18 1
        
        I stand corrected. -- nm - Loyola Nov 30, 08:18
  - only would work for select acts though. I could see Taylor Swift pulling it off -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 08:14 2
    - maybe Katy Perry, One Direction and the Biebs -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 08:15
    - She did it for 1989, citing how lousy the rate for musicians is. -- nm - Tim Nov 30, 08:15
i may be 1 of the few who doesn't particularly care for Adele (and that's okay with me), but I never liked N'Sync, so, good for her. -- nm - call me Ishmael Nov 30, 08:11
*shatters* -- nm - David Nov 30, 08:10 1
- yup. No Strings Attached sold 2.4 million in its opening week. With the way music is consumed now, I didn't think that would ever fall. -- nm - Tim Nov 30, 08:11
(I didn't know it wasn't on the streaming services. Wow.) -- nm - Tim Nov 30, 08:09
