I'm with this all the way. Appreciate this article is from 2016, but surprised the physical sale is still compared to Spotify streams. They're very different and I think Spotify is far more like radio with choice (a bit like Netflix and TV). I listen to lots of stuff on Spotify I never would have bought 15 years ago (thus no sale would be accounted for). But conversely, I suppose, I rarely buy a lot of records I listen to with fair frequency on Spotify. That said I go and watch live shows of a bunch of people I probably wouldn't have.

Times have changed. Everyone has to adapt. I doubt as many people are buying DVDs or Bluray anymore, right?
