Ah, we are back to pretending that streaming numbers somehow matter more than pure sales numbers

Streaming will always be the worst indication of which artists have the most dedicated fanbases

This is how you know clowns here delusion af.

I have spent thousands in OVO merch over time and own no Travis merch but Travis has the merch game/demand locked down. Outside of Ye (also Berner but that’s a different story) no one sells merch like Travis. He has curated that image. He may be able to make more money from Merch than from Music. Pharrell is another example. He wasn’t bigger than Jay or even Timbaland in his prime but his curated an image that makes people want to buy his s*** more than bigger artists.

Guys like Drake doesn’t have that pull and image. People like him for his music but he ain’t a fashion icon/trendsetter. Those things can to be mutually exclusive.

Travis got the fan base that would be rock fan base 20 years ago and they buy merch.

ur super washed

this is like posting the celebrities Beyonce sent Ivy Park to

u posted a promo image for a Ye hoodie to try prove that means its popular bro

Plus they scammed lmao. They announced that you'd get early access to tour tickets by buying the digital album, except then never did any of that. Plus it had extra music

silly to think Drake wouldn't also sell 100k+ digitals if he did the exact same play lol, his tour tickets were reselling for crazy amounts

trav didn't sell all those digitals for "the music"

that was a bootleg page of kanye old merch. its still moving in 2024

Does Logic not prove this wrong?

No Pressure in 2020 sold 172k pure in 2020 first week (221k total)
Vinyl Days just 2 years later sold 26k total

Where did all these "dedicated fans" disappear to in just 2 years ? They were so dedicated that 90% of them disappeared in 2 years?

ive never seen a drop that insane with streaming metrics

it really isn't though, broken planet is what everyone's wearing which is inspired by that and that's nothing to do with Ye

if this is the hill u wanna die on. kanye and merch? u need to log off

lmao tbh Ye fell off massively in terms of that in the last few years. I never see anyone wearing his stuff now

for the 3rd time, ur washed. he just closed his webstore cuz he cant handle the traffic of orders. until all shipments are done.

lol this guy is lying for no reason

morgan wallen avi btw

It’s crazy that this has to be explained to people

There was no news about any tour for the digital version of DBR wtf are you talking about

No Pressure was marketed as his final album, genius

fr lmao drake makes it very clear he only cares about music

There’s a difference between paying to see an artist live and asking your fans who primarily stream your music for free to pay $10 to listen to it.

Drake does not have the type of fanbase that will shell out hundreds just for merch and physicals and downloads for him.

He has the biggest casual fanbase in all of music

Yall in here talking about this bs??

Why we not talking about yall failing cash cobain

Which Ye "merch" do people wear these days then? I never see any of it

For Utopia, not DBR lol

Lmao so his fans are so dedicated that they only care abotu his final album, after that they were just like nah i'm done

Dedicated my ass
