In reply to XYZ.

His song "I Don't Mind" leaked about 5 months before it was officially released and still managed to go double platinum. People still don't know about Usher's album because a majority of people don't have Tidal. Also, the same people who get the leak more than likely have some streaming service, so once the album drops they're going to delete the leak and stream the album. That's common sense. Damn near every one has Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play or Amazon.
