We waited 20 years for a new album.  :smiley-dance018: Two more are lined up. For the first time ever, Will Smith/JJ+FP is headlining a tour that's going around the world. :smiley-dance006:  Yes, stream it and get those numbers up, but BUY this digital album. :greensmilies-009: Money talks.  This is how we get more. :smiley-music010: This is how they know people want this music and more of it. :itsjazzy:  Like the social media posts that support this album. :baiting: Let's gooo!

A lot of the time, it's the digital purchases that will let an artist or label know if they want to do CD and vinyl. Additionally, we live in a time where songs/albums can be edited or removed without any warning.  If you rely on streaming, you are relying on the music always being available. To not buy the digital release is a middle finger to the artist. There are already people on ebay bootleging the album on CD with unofficial copies of the album.

If there is a physical album I will 100% but it, I like to have a music collection and I can put the CD in my car.

But I have a subscription to Amazon music so I’ve been streaming it on that. The only option to buy that I can see is Apple Music for £12.99. I don’t have money to waste of buying it to then play it on an app I don’t use.

You could say it's old school interms of consuming music, but I'm just stating facts. Streaming is just digits and micropennies.  Buying the album is support. Buying albums the artist know if there is a market for a physical release. Buying contributes to charting.
