In reply to Yawn.

I know that. But sales were already wayy down in 2014 even before the Billboard 200 included Spotify.
Streaming almost barely counts for albums, actually. The difference last week was that Madonna and Empire were EXTREMELY close in sales yet Madonna's Spotify streams are tragic. Literally every other week the best selling album was also #1 on SPS. Only time I would agree with you is if every album had an effect like the one Uptown Funk! is doing to Mark Ronson's album.
