    regarding sales is anyone here actually proper into this s*** and got any good studies on listening habits over time?

    I wanna know how many artists people are listening to on average now vs 10/20 years ago for example

    Can you give us some examples of when a rap artist leaving for 5+ years was a sales benefit for their next drop?

    Not 5+ years, but Kingdom Come outsold The Black Album

    Not a lot of rappers take 5+ years between projects so kind of hard to compare

    Unfinished Business (HOV/R Kelly) collab album
    Dropped end of 2004. He never really left after the black album.

    And yeah, the second thing you said is kind of my point. There is no precedent for longer gaps = more sales in rap so saying that Kendrick should have sold more because he left for 5 years isn’t based on anything objective.

    The fact is the general public are just not f***ing with the album. 86% drop in Spotify streams from Day 1 to Day 5. DLDT (which according to Drake Stans was a mixtape full of leaks everyone already heard) was streaming double at the same point.

    Lowest selling album by anyone in the big 3 (since being established) ever. No cope can change that.

    Y'all niggas weird as f*** worrying about album sales. Y'all get some weird validation from it or something?

    Yes. If my fav sells a lot, my life is good. If they don't sell a lot, my life is in shambles

    Kendrick = flopped.
    Drake = flopped.

    Let's come together and spread love like mayo, y'all ♥️

    Ain't y'all tired of this senseless back and forth? We could be talking about any number of more interesting things right now.

    I wanna talk about Chris Brown's album and what numbers it might put up compared to Luke Combs' album, which drops the same day, but I can't 'cause y'all are still on this stale s***

    cb will probably underperform

    not doing a double album + no popular song rn

    It’s actually a 71% drop on re-calculation. Doesn’t change anything though.

    What artists this year have not flopped/surpassed expectations?

    Future, Gunna and Bad Bunny are the main names that come to mind, one thing they have in common is that they dropped great music and candidates to AOTY

  • Jun 23, 2022

    Issue with this year is that all elite rappers (200k+) bar Future have flopped which makes most charts look weird but in general this year has been full of sucessful histories

    That's a real possibility. I can't say I'm looking to him to put up massive numbers anyways. I just want good music.

    Drake was honestly undefeated, it was so easy to defend him, i cant believe he did this to himself.

    This is like mj going to play baseball during his peak.

    Or like conor doing a boxing exhibition bout during his peak f***ing up his career.

    Its like if micheal phelps woke up one day and said imma start running and coming in last place at the olympics.
