Let's compare the Bieber YouTube plays versus albums sold. Bieber to date has roughly 2.5 billion YouTube plays and has sold about 14.2 million albums. That means that for every 176 YouTube views, Bieber sells an album. This means that my upload of playing a ukulele and singing "Hey Soul Sister" is about 172 views away from netting me my first record sale!
Now available on iTunes?
