How’s this thread an L

because it's another bait thread (bring up 2 popular albums to bring up traffic) with an opinion that is not true.

The anticipation/roll out alone for the Adele drop was in itself a bigger moment than Eternally pushed back Atake and out of the blue The Off Season. Adele went viral for saying "No" on her first IG Live to someone asking would she collab with Peppa Pig.

Keep shooting bro

Going viral for being an out of touch white woman doesnt mean ppl wanna hear ur music

Wot is meh bah ee count?

having the higest fw sales of the year does.

And this is coming from someone that aint even a fan of Adele's music (I think it's quite boring) but c'mon KTT trying to shape a narrative since this album dropped is hilarious.

I havent heard a song off the adele album it doesnt have a big single like hello

She did 350k in streams

There are several artists who could've easily outsold her if you add 500k bullshit vinyl sales to their total

So why don't they do it.

I remember vividly the first few minutes The Off Season dropped. Everyone was losing their s*** over the intro

White privilege

It was dope when ppl found the 21 and baby features

You let the media poison how you look at Adele. You’re not looking at the facts.

1. Her streaming numbers were comparable to theirs
2. The physical sales are not trustworthy and most likely fabricated
3. Her hype for this era was spearheaded by the mainstream media. It wasn’t grassroots or organic at all

odd way of saying "having an audience still buys physicals"

"3. Her hype for this era was spearheaded by the mainstream media. It wasn’t grassroots or organic at all"

So.........like every mainstream artist then?

Idk i would say J Cole audience still buys physicals but his label doesnt pay millions of dollars to rent out vinyl production plants months in advance for him and have them ready first week

I hate yall really making a nigga defend a shawty who music I never actively listen to

No. There are plenty of mainstream artists who’s hype for a new era is organic and grassroots. Then you have the Katy Perry’s, the Adele’s, the Khalids of the world

The fact that they "mainstream" means it's automatically not organic or "grassroots"

Those terms literally are for independent artists.

sounds like there aint a demand for em.

the fact it hasn't even been a whole full week since the album dropped and yall already building a "lol sales" narrative is already proof yall on some bs time rn.

There’s not a demand for Adele physicals either. That 500k is a fake number.

You’re drinking the kool aide bruh. We’re tryna tell you what it really is

how many sales in the last 10-20 years had fabricated/fake numbers?

Did you care then because it was your favorite artist that was getting by off of them?
