Did you look at the graphic? It shows that you need above four and a half 
million play on spotify in a month to earn what you would get from selling 
143 self pressed CDs for $9.99 in that same month.

Now I may be wrong, but I think I would have an easier time selling 143 CDs 
than getting even one million listens.

I could be wrong. Their figures could be wrong too.

all the best,
