Sorry, I wrote that disclaimer in every post but still my questions are misunderstood.
I DO NOT doubt that this is massive.
I DO appreciate what's happening! Micheal would say "i really do"

I’m absolutely sure YOU are. 👌

I’m not 100% certain that “all of us” are?

It would be an absolute miracle of epic proportions, if not one person slipped onto here with ulterior motives. I’ve never been on any forum, ever, where they hadn’t obviously been infiltrated by a rogue fan or two. I don’t know why this forum would be any different. 🤷‍♂️

We even had one guy on here a week or so ago, who claimed MJ lied when he stated he had vitiligo or lupus. You honestly think he’s a fan? No chance,

iTunes is mostly for people above a certain age, the younger generations don't buy digital songs anymore.
Spotify is the most popular streaming platform around so it's the most representative of what the mainstream actually listens to.
Apple music is the second one in popularity compared to Spotify but it's mostly used by people who use iPhones so it's not as representative of the mainstream as Spotify is.

This is a genuine question, honestly.

To help me understand why you wanted to know, now you have an answer, can you tell me what it means?

Thank you in advance 👍

Just for interpretation. Like we share the spotify data here mostly, because they provide nice statistics, so I wondered how representative they are for the streaming market. And if that contains any information if younger or older people might listen more or the like.
And, just shortly before you came to keep reminding us how great the streaming numbers are, someone else was around constantly reminding us that they mean nothing, and we discussed how representative the individual services might be.
 
But, as reported on lots of respected chart sites and forums, MJ is smashing it in all of them.

Being #1 on the Global Streaming Charts - especially for so long and by such a margin is super impressive. For anyone.

One persons biased view - who admitted he didn’t understand modern metrics - has absolutely no bearing on that.
