These numbers point to the declining relevancy of the album as a release format. Albums made sense when you could guarantee $10 wholesale per unit, but in this streaming era, there isn't much point. Most people don't stream whole albums at a time, so it's actually a few hit singles per project being streamed a huge levels that are boosting these album rankings. The industry hasn't caught up yet, but in a year or two, hardly anybody will still be releasing albums.
