The Life of Pablo to (finally) make its Billboard debut... First album in history to hit #1 based on streaming sales figures alone!

I guess not many folks have shelled out the $20 to actually buy the album, but most folks aren't me. I heard that the total "sales" extrapolated from the streaming figures are only about ~100,000 ... but the album streamed more than 250 MILLION times in the first 10 days of its release (not sure if that's TIDAL figures or the first ten days of Spotify and Apple, but either way... Yowza.)

Seems like that should be worth more than a hundred thousand sales, but what do I know.

Anyway, another #1 album and historical first achieved by Kanye West. Cool.
