Makes sense that they take streams into account, but such a strange time we live in when the album that is number four actually sold more physical copies.
LIIWMI hasn't really blown up at radio, it's only at #16 on Billboard Top Alt songs right now. The album is great but it hasn't really taken off. Not sure if there's a "Love Me" or "Somebody Else" on this album to drive sales via a radio single.
Yeah there's no real radio banger on the album. It's an amazing piece of work, but without songs like the sound and love me tearing up airwaves you're bound to get lower sales numbers
