    • drop of listeners from Nazi fallout negligible lol

    • true
    • true
    • radio almost never factors in worth a mention for hip hop releases in the first week

    This isn't some win for independent artists
    Kanye West is a billionaire apparently lol

    who said it was a win for independent artists?

    That proves the point he lost a lot of his status after going full nazi and these are good numbers

    Carnival wouldve gone #1 w radio play instead of Bey is going now so Wont hear new Ye music at all anymore on radio, that's for sure

    Y'all really have no idea what being a nazi or being seen as a nazi is it seems

    It's not an L but it's not some massive W the way y'all are making it out to be, especially with all these excuses you're coming up with that are all Kanye's fault.

    -79k of the KSG were pure sales. This album was basically full streaming only.
    -MAGA not as cancellable as calling for death on a people.
    -Streaming platforms did everything they could that was possible to botch the album release. Album was taken down multiple times, Ye even posted about it.
    -Donda wasn’t a collab album. Solo albums always do better, plus Donda had more songs.
    -No radio play means no #1 for Carnival, would have likely been #1, was out streaming Beyonce the entire week on AM and Spotify charts.

    Carnival needed massive streams to challenge for a #1 debut. It never came close to doing that. Most songs that aren't pushed as singles in the week of their release get 0 radio airplay. This is a common thing, not some industry agenda against Kanye West.

    The copium for this album is something else, I tell you.

    So No 1 album, Top 3 BB hit, while being one of the most untouchable/shadow listed humans on the earth planet, this is his most comprehensive victory in sometime what’s the point of acting like that’s not the case

    An untouchable human being that had no problem airing a Superbowl ad and is in the process of booking a worldwide arena tour. Y'all don't even try with these excuses.

    are we really claiming there's NO industry "agenda" against him? i mean he's not even on any of the big playlists.

    Another lie. Also, playlist placements aren't make or break. If a song is going to take off, it'll do so whether or not it gets playlist placements.

    He was dropped from Adidas, has multiple lawsuits, no label support, multiple distributors refusing to distribute his album, had multiple arenas refuse to host him, had his listening party shut down by police, had Donna Summer withdraw her sample, had Ozzy Osborne withdraw his sample, etc. etc. but they’re acting like nothing is happening.

    I mean he probably deserved all of those things but they’re still factors and the fact he was able to independently go #1 despite all of that is crazy. That’s all.

    3 Biggest playlists on AM... New Music Daily, Today's Hits, and Rap Life... Carnival ain't on none of em.
