What does Beyonce have to do with any of this? Selling 20K-40K and debuting at #1 is the issue here. It's funny,one minute streaming was beneath certain artist now all of the sudden their fan base is all for it because it's kept their music afloat, now it's all the rage. Artist who haven't even selling 300K domestically are getting platinum certifications. This is beyond petty stanfare,it's pointing to all the signs that the music industry may be on life support and there's no Michael Jackson to save it this time. This streaming crap is pure foolishness,if you didn't sell an actual 1 Million to consumers you're not platinum in my book,I have more respect for artist who do 600K+ and pull in a platinum plaques with shipments.
