    its interesting that the promise of soundcloud era being the next big thing is finally actually reaching fruition almost 10 years later

    anyway there’s no way that carti is only getting 2 songs in the top 15 with 400 million streams, doesn’t add up at all

    they already hit that point though which i feel the numbers are in league with the average of acts that blow up and stick around long term

    uzi just fell off and the rest died so that just leaves carti

    does updating your projection mean your previous one was a "lie"?

    obviously not being literal

    That’s what happens when you drop a heavily anticipated album and put 30 songs on it

    uzi just fell off and the rest died so that just leaves carti

    i get what you're saying but uzi, at his peak especially, is much more accessible/palatable for the average consumer, and while he had a great first week with eternal atake he was also one among a lot of young artists who were dropping during covid and doing star numbers, whether it was emo rap like juice wrld, pop smoke drill, or rod wave/youngboy "pain music"

    in comparison, music really sounds "alternative", aside from the weeknd and thug songs it's not making any concessions to appeal to a wide audience, and yet it's looking to be the best selling rap album of the year so far (and i can't see any other release surpassing it tbh)

    putting up the same kind of numbers as drake and kendrick after them being everywhere in the media for the last year cuz of their battle is insanely impressive, really feels like a vibe shift

    tortured poets - 14/14
    music - 2 songs in the top 15?

  • Mar 18, 2025

    I’m pretty sure that 300K prediction is with only streaming counted. So it’s very possible he clears 350K+ if the digital sales are strong enough

    this'll make people mad but how the f*** can CArti do these types of numbers but the weeknd doesn't even get half of them?

    this isnt even a weeknd hate post, i seriously don't understand any of it

    opm babi (which i actually love) vs the mainstream sound of HUT. i genuinely don't get it

    carti couldnt even sell out an arena tour in like 2022
