    To give an alternative perspective.

    Dua Lipa “Levitating” has made 3.4 Million dollars on streaming revenue. Blinding Lights by The Weeknd is over double that.

    Then the real success stories are the Indies. Run the Jewels only have 1.2 Billion streams but that 2 million dollars is their 2 million dollars.

    Its peanuts per stream but anyone anywhere in the world can be a fan and show their support by ordering an overpriced Tshirt from the website.
