    Wait

    Is Abel's rollout a Brazilian funk song, a failed Carti attempt, and a rehash of the last 2 albums' singles?

    You niggas are so miserable

    Note again how I didn’t bring up Weeknd in here, y’all did, and always do

    It’s been moderately successful globally, obviously not in the US though. I never once said it was successful here

    The funniest thing of all is we know Kendrick doesn’t flood the market like that. I wouldn’t be shocked if this really was the album. Fans usually make these rumors up when they aren’t too satisfied with what they got lol.

    Kendrick's Twitter goons have posted enough hints hinting at something else happening

    This isn't a DAMN NATION situation

    Do you genuinely think Sabrina Carpenter was making any kind of money off music before late 2023?

    She was regularly dropping albums and they were going triple cardboard

    How is that relevant? She came from basically nowhere and Short n Sweet is now gonna sell more copies in the US than any Weeknd/Drake album from the last 5+ years. So how does it only benefit big artists

    Because she wasn’t making money off of music until she blew up

    If she wasn’t a Disney star, she wouldn’t have been financially able to continue to pursue music because I guarantee she was making absolutely no money off of it.

    I never said streaming makes it impossible for artists to blow up.

    I said that unless you blow up and cross that threshold, you are going to be making literal pennies from streaming. There is no middle ground whatsoever

    How do you know she'd have made more money without streaming (say if she existed in 2002) though? it's a weird assumption. artists back then were notoriously broke and forced to sign s***ty contracts to survive, n-sync type s***. you almost never see stuff like that now.

    Perhaps you need to go back to school and further your education?

    He keeps saying streaming ONLY benefits big artists.

    If artists are going from NOTHING to superstars almost over night,, whilst demolishing established acts, it shows that's completely false.

    Yes because the contracts were f***ed, but it’s simple math and common sense to see how an artist can make more money off of lower pure sales than they’re able to do off of lower streams

    Sabrina Carpenter before 2024, and any other artist who drops triple cardboard albums, was making zero money off of streaming
