No, he’s not. Way more people use streaming now than in 2018. If I recall correctly, Kanye had his biggest year ever on Spotify in 2025 as well, but that doesn’t mean he’s more popular now than he was in 2016.

Total numbers of streaming listeners has gone up which is making everyone’s back catalog go up in streams. An artist’s new music is how you gauge how popular they are in the current moment

Can’t believe his 2015-2018 streak is so under appreciated

he is

pre-testing feature run >>>>

pray4dagang ain’t crack the Top 200 man, that’s unheard of for an artist as well-known as Rocky lmao

I think album will do 95k streaming of its mid, 125k if it’s hard

Rihanna comeback feature…

These back catalog streams are such a facade for current relevancy

Impressive to build that catalog, but definitely doesn’t mean you’re “more” popular because of it

that doesnt count

you already said that

rihanna relationship + acting + tiktok stimulus

Cozy Tapes alone should’ve netted him astroworld type hype

he was killing features left and right during that era

But @Gosh is correct I did forget about the streaming weighing more now

BUT, YouTube is pulling out of Billboard the same day this album drops, so that will even it back out

Saying

that would be pretty cool. Dumb pop tracks from the 80’s, boom bap from the 90’s and that southern flare from the early 2000’s

plus handsome stimulus

rocky dead not doing 100k ctfu what is this argument itt

idk about genre wise, but at least with art direction with the characters

Presaving doesn’t equate to sales buddy

Can’t troll without knowing what you’re talking about

You don’t think he’s doing 100? The physicals can definitely get him there

you really think this

not even with physicals ?

i dont think it works like that bro

pre-save just got put up lmao
