    FIRST Taylor Swift kept 1989 off free music streaming services and scored the best weekly album sales in more than a decade. Then Adele spurned Spotify and Apple Music with her new 25 and did one better: She shattered the record for opening week sales, set in 2000 by the boy band *NSYNC.

    Is Coldplay next? The British rock group, which is scheduled to release A Head Full of Dreams on Friday, has yet to say whether the new album will be available on streaming services.
