    it’s probably gonna be like try that in a small town where it gets number 1 for one week then drop like a cliff

    They are fueled by iTunes purchases which don't last when people ain't actually listening to the music

  • Snitch Gunna is carrying YSL, Atlanta, and Hip-Hop as the last man standing in the top ten

    Ice Spice and Nicki winning as usual still

  • afterimage

    Charts have always represented majority white demographics. They are just listening to more country and pop now instead of hip hop like in 2018 so it’s being reflected

    i wish they were at least consistent and started stanning country lmao

    goes to show numbers only matter depending on the agenda that needs to be pushed

    This one is actually being streamed and charting heavily on iTunes and Spotify and gained millions of views on youtube.

    This isn’t a protest buy like TTIAST.

    I know its hard to admit that mainstream trends are shifting away from hip hop as the cultural zeitgeist

    Oh I can admit that hip hop won’t be THE genre for too long anymore, but this song just don’t seem like a staying power one. like TTIAST hit number 1 on Apple Music too and got good streams in Spotify and YouTube for like a week then it fell off after the first week. So I’m have to wait and see how it holds after this week

  • the billboard article last week about the execs showed y’all it’s an agenda

    FWIW its seems a lot more listenable than TTIAST (that opening guitar riff makes my ears bleed) so it’s got that going for it lol

    They are not 2 different statements because those things are intertwined. Where you sell has a place on the charts

    they’re tryna blame the consumers for their own f***ups

    if the suits don’t care then the artists don’t care then the public don’t care
    it all starts at the labels but they’ve been tryna shift it on the people for not f***ing with these artists lol

    has nothing to do with what i initially said

    this entire thread was originally a kendrick hate thread saying he wasn’t going to sell over 500k, then when the numbers came out and he did way under that, people were using that to detract from the album

    to say that no one itt uses sales to inflate their opinions on music is wrong, esp. when that’s why this thread is even partially so big in the first place

    No it isn't it's streams and sales majority. Your fav artist has gotten singles to #1 off people buying it and the same thing happened with that maga ass track last week lol

    radio is a huge factor in the chart. Especially for chart longevity. People can buy the song but without radio it wont chart long.
