“Thriving in the Stream” calls out the winners and losers in the streaming game. As we have noted, Country and Rock seem to be the losers while Hip-hop and Latin Pop are the winners. Surprisingly, Heavy Metal is also a winner. Pop is also considered a loser since it isn’t dominating as it normally does in sales/radio. Streaming is tending to push hooks earlier in the song.
