Rihanna and Bruno Mars have suffered some major hits when it comes to
illegal downloads of their songs and albums in 2013.
According to a recent Musicmetric report, they make the list of artists
that have been pirated heavily to the tune of millions.
Joining Jay Z, Taylor Swift, Pitbull, Drake, Flo Rida and Justin
Timberlake, Rihanna and Mars have been pirated at least five million
times each this year.
Speaking with Rolling Stone, Gregory Mead, a Musicmetric executive, said
music fans are more likely to stream or download a track and then buy.
"Back in the day, people went into record shops to try records before
they bought them," said Mead. "Nowadays, they download or stream a track
and then perhaps buy a download or a gig ticket."
