There are some excellent points starting from if Richie's fans even use streaming services to begin with all the way to Little Steven's numbers and many in between. One thing I don't think very relevant though is a recent album unless it is very fresh. I just don't think it matters much if there is no great interest in an artist.

I changed my mind about Richie's numbers making him irrelevant. Spotify numbers, clearly, are not at all a good way to look at it. Steve Vai is 370k and he is as famous as a guitar player can be. Unless you're Angus Young.






-"Who is Angus young", the crowd demands to know.
