What artists sold more than their last album with a long hiatus?

frank

this nigga actually had the worst rollout of all time

it's like he saw the DawnFM rollout and tried to 1 up it

he had no rollout lol

That was before streaming tbh and his 2nd album had a great rollout
Anyone else?

Sheesh

Ehh 5 years is a really long time to be outside of the mainstream. It sounds harsh but maybe the average listener just stopped caring about Kendrick

announce the album on a random website a month in advance and stay completely silent for the next month

announce a double album by mysteriously adding it to the website instead of tweeting it

no single but put out the heart pt 5 out a couple of days before which wasn't on the album

put out an album with lowkey the least replay value in his discography besides Untitled Unmastered.

Album still great but I would've loved a Damn type comeback where he ruled the summer again like 2017 but he made a personal project.

"replay value" one of the most overused phrases in the last decade ngl.

isaiah rashad

Hoes dont twerk to it = no replay value

Ayyyye b**** I’m attractive

Can’t f*** with you no more

Cuz you sold less than we expected and sales definitely = quality sorry Kendrick

Mr. Morale?

More like MID MORALE and the MID STEPPERS AMIRITE?

yall niggas woulda been so boring in the 90s clubs lmao

Lol im playing im not one of those weirdos

His last album had way more promo, he had singles, popular features, the music was more catchy etc

that’s my point lol the lack of promo is why the sales is like this not the hiatus

nobody should really be surprised

Copped 2 second row seats for 575 a piece in Tampa. About to be in there like

I encourage any Kendrick stan to not give a s*** about numbers if you don’t already, it’s not like a higher number of sales makes a kick drum harder or some s*** lol

This is it. Bro people were literally under the impression he just retired. You can’t leave for 5 years in this day and age and expect to stay relevant.

Same besides Dawn FM, but it’s the same things where I just can’t bring myself to listen to anything but this at the moment lmao

Exactly lol Kendrick is a mainstream artist at the end of the day. I think 2-3 years is the maximum you should be gone if you wanna maintain hype. Kendrick's longest hiatus before this was only 2.5 years
