You shouldn't compare fradulent tshirt bundles with actual music sales

SWAG is obviously the most organically consumed album this week but JackBoys 2 (which nobody will give a f*** about by next week) is getting the #1 spot because of bundles

No, those were actual abuse of the system. Niggas was selling random products and attaching a 99 cent digital download and calling it a sale.

The new rules are much more fair and reasonable. Merch items HAVE to be available to purchase separately from the physical copies they’re bundled with, and the physical copies have to be full priced. Anyone choosing to purchase a physical copy bundle is making a conscious decision to do so

great sales week all around

@fader why aren't you callign these trav numbers a flop, when you've called drake's last few project a flop when they did like 4x higher numbers? Odd

He only cares about first week numbers to determine the overall success of an album. That's why his stupid ass thinks HUT is more successful than $$$4U.

Relax bro this is a jackboys compilation album. Not an actual Travis Scott studio album

#physcials tho

BB needs to make it where albums/vinyls/casettes can't be bundled with any non-music items and we'll see where all this lands

^y’all say I’m the one that brings up Drake all the time, keep in mind he had nothing to do with this conversation and these two idiots brought him up

These numbers are bad, I never said they were good

But who genuinely gives a f*** about the performance of a Jackboys album

That's what really needs to happen. Once I saw that they brought back "fan packs", it was clear it was just another way to reintroduce bundles because labels cried about them scrapping them.

It's especially telling when many of these bundled albums CRASH on the charts once they're out of physicals to move because no one is streaming the album.

Its almost like its a jack boys compilation album that sold nearly as much as $$$4u

So Taylor selling 37 different versions of the same album to boost its numbers is okay?

I don’t get why yall actually care about bundles

It’s like y’all aren’t even aware of what the current rules are

I'm a Swiftie and I don't condone Mr Wilson's comments.

Imagine being mad that fans love an artist so much they’re willing to spend real money on them to support them

Streaming is the worst and laziest way to support an artist you like

a 2 year hyped album did 4x less streams than a collab album with a fat bum pnd

Hov sold a million copies of 444 thanks to Sprint, just know

You cared a lot about the performance of a surprise drop dance album

Massive congrats to Clipse. In their 50s doing 118k. Even did more than the final predictions!

What a sight

They spent the last year crying about how easy it is to manipulate steaming but now they’re shaming artists for having fans that are willing to spend $30 or whatever to support

Dance album s*** is such cope because Gaga and Beyonce dropped house albums and outsold

many rappers can dominate travis in the longevity department but nobody is touching his first week sales, that's where he thrives

his next solo album is gonna do 450k pure and 200k streaming units and there's not a single thing billboard can do to stop him

That and I think alot of it is the discrepancy between the numbers. I don’t know them off the top only head so not speaking from expertise but he sort of got around to explaining the difference between the traditional way Travis albums are consumed compared to the numbers he’s doing off bundles
