2 months since meting the huzz ❤️ love u b

Five years ago, Benson Boone record his debut single “Ghost Town”. Released later in October, the single pushed Benson to international prominence, reaching #1 in numerous countries. Over time, the billion-stream hit has grown to become the most prolific male debut of the 2020s.

Aged like … milk? 😐

@shocksneverwork don’t worry, I thought Olivia’s long as tour was two for a second as well

@BensonApologist wait lowkey i tried to prove you wrong and you might be correct

Benson Boone becomes the first artist debuting this decade to play two all-arena tours. With the 2025-6 "American Heart World Tour" and 2026 "Wanted Man Tour".

Not hating on Rosé for a label forced decision btw we love all of Blackpink in this house

Alex Warren shamelessly ripping off "You & Me" by JENNIE, and then going onto collab with her bandmate Rosé not even six months later is actually insane and needs to be discussed more. He really doesn't have one original bone in his body.

.@WarnerPromo I don't ask for much... but guys... PLEASE push Wanted Man, there's the perfect opportunity for that 4th #1 hit now

“Mr Electric Blue” breaks its tie with “In The Stars” to become Benson Boone’s 6th longest running single at Billboard Adult Pop Airplay. If it can hold on (pun intended) for three more weeks, it can tie “Ghost Town” at 20. No recurrent rules will impact it until then.

@10thDocWhooves oops. today was the first time testing out a different format to try and get rid of mistakes, but it appears some of the code was wrong 😑

@BensonApologist WHAT IS HAPPENING TO STARLIGHT

“RED” by Taylor Swift has passed 11.2 BILLION streams on Spotify across all credits. It becomes Swift’s fifth album to reach this milestone

@bezzypoo @fateofaditya Ok I get what you mean and it's 100% not your fault. I should've been more clear from the start what metric I was using, and been a little less confrontation lol.

I'll rest my case since these things are not something I understand. I had grok reread the entire thread and check its facts multiple times.. if its hallucinating it can't be saved apparently. If its not then idk, maybe you just rely on different unofficial conversion math. Sorry for the long ass back and forth lol

These things are beyond my grasp but I have a feeling youre using streams as units sold, which is not physical sales. I was originally questioning you for saying that Benson has sold 100M records. Unless i misunderstood what you meant by records, hes still sold 11.3M total. Sabrina is near 30M or something. Don't treat streams as sales. There's a different ranking for that. As far as actual record sales go, Benson has officially sold 11.3M (which is pretty good for a streaming era artist with 3-4 years of profitability)

@bezzypoo @fateofaditya Album Sales (EAS) is how a lot of accounts tabulate that, since it is arguably more "effective" at demonstrating Streaming era vs Physical Era, but it really just comes down to personal choice ig lol

@bezzypoo @fateofaditya Okokok I see what its doing It's trying to measure in albums sold, when im calculating complete sales. Probably to avoid "double counting" singles and album units.

@bezzypoo @fateofaditya It could actually just be converting everything into album units, which seems slightly harsh but does make sense. I will give you that.

@bezzypoo @fateofaditya AI hallucinates... a lot. Most of my numbers are estimates based on data trends, but generally quite conservative. also that 11.3 million number is fundamentally incorrect (most likely out of date) considering Beautiful Things has 11.8 million *certified* in the US+CA+Uk alone

@bezzypoo @fateofaditya It's 1500 for albums, 150 for singles. That's how one single is equal to 0.1 albums.

@BensonApologist @fateofaditya Its 1500 streams per unit. Youre using the wrong number

@bezzypoo @fateofaditya That number is safely around 16 billion today. 16 billion divided by even 165 at the harshest is over 90 million on streams alone. That does not count any albums (which count for 10% as much, but are still a part), or any pure singles.

@bezzypoo @fateofaditya and let's just use some incredibly basic mathematics. The number varies worldwide, but the average unit is worth around 155-165 streams. Label based data puts that total number around 15 billion in December. radiodate.it/radio-date/ben…
