ummmm....
if i am not mistaken, iTunes is only for sales, right? so excuse a lot of us outside of the US/UK for not being able to afford the cost of an album, when our gross income is not much over $400 US.

i am fortunate enough to use spotify and tidal....but dont base you argument on a PAID SUBSCRIPTION'S worlwide tally....b/c i am willing to be people in 3rd world countries would rather spend a dollar on food than on a wealthy artist's sales.
