Only music I have bought in recent years is bands that aren't on the streaming services, like RHCP or Metallica. As a user these streaming services are a nice free alternative to buying music, but if I were a band with a well known brand (i.e. lots of money has been pumped into it over years/decades), then I would avoid streaming services like the plague.
Services like emusic are better for labels because they at least treat the music as something special and limited.
