Digital streaming platforms are now used as a yardstick to measure artiste credibility and influence.

Back in the days, artistes were ranked based on their sales of cassettes and CDs. However, trends have changed.

Today, it’s online streaming platforms that determine how big an artiste is.

From YouTube to Spotify, statistics of how artistes are shared to demonstrate who has attained a milage in the game.
