Indeed they do, because the sale of a download, a purchase of, say, 99 cents, entitles an artist to a percentage typically of 10% or more, versus a stream which counts as a fraction of a penny. “Sales count for more than streams,” responded Grande on Instagram. … You got caught cheating redhanded.” The rant garnered 4.5 million views within three hours. Of Billboard’s chart engine, Nielsen Music/MRC, 6ix9ine says: “You can buy No. He doesn’t make mention of Bieber by name. Today (May 18), 6ix9ine is crying foul, asserting in a four-minute-long Instagram story rant that an unnamed entity working on behalf of Grande who, along with Bieber, is managed by Scooter Braun, purchased 60,000 units of the song “at the last minute” using six credit cards in order to boost the song’s chart position. As of this writing, 6ix9ine’s video count has topped 180 million views per the count on the clip’s YouTube page. As of Saturday, YouTube had not yet validated that “GOOBA” had earned that distinction. Within a day of its release, a press release issued by technology-driven music company Create Music Group claimed that “GOOBA” surpassed Taylor Swift’s “Me” and Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” as the fastest video by an American artist to reach 100 million views. That came hours later when “GOOBA” hit YouTube and DSPs. So when the New York native took to Instagram Live on May 8 and instantly drew 2 million viewers for what ended up being a 15-minute stream, all metrics seemed to point to a big debut once he had new music ready to drop. Rapper 6ix9ine’s early release from a two-year sentence - handed down as part of a deal with federal law-enforcement officers in which the 23-year-old (whose real name is Daniel Hernandez) turned on gang members and pleaded guilty to nine federal felonies including racketeering conspiracy, firearms charges and narcotics trafficking - meant anticipation was high for his return.
