I spent the most on physical album sales (majority of that being vinyl records) when I worked for a streaming music company. I agree with some of the commenters, being able to listen to those artists, really helped in making the decision to spend my hard earned cash. I realize I'm in the minority, but there are sales being done as a direct result of artists being on these streaming services. And for the record, I would listen to Coldplay, thank you very much. ;)
