Record sales are an ancient relic that only stick around because Nielsen etc has so much money wrapped up in record companies. The idea that 1500 streams is equivalent to 1 CD sale is absurd considering most people don't even listen to any given song on a CD 1500 times.
Yeah, movie ticket sales are a great way to measure a movies success, similar to concert ticket sales, and would you look at that Turnstile keep selling them out. You can do whatever mental gymnastics you wanna do with that, you will, but by every metric of success that matters: streaming, show attendance, festival billing is popping off. Hell even record sales they did 18k first week by modern metrics is great.
Also if Turnstile are so desperately relying on supports at these shows, show me a single video of a set of theirs from the past 2 years that looks anything less than full. Theres no walk outs. People may be excited to see snail mail or citizen or whatever, but they're coming, and staying for Turnsrile.
