Caring about sales numbers in 2026

dam this reminded me YB been on hiatus pretty much all year I completely forgot he even dropped an album in January and pretty much nothing since

especially when about 99% of people don't care about music in general

terrible era for loving stuff

It’s closer to like 15%. Plus most of the bots are in the replies which I just ignore. But I see good discussion and interesting/informative/funny stuff all the time

Keep going..

You can look at the numbers yourself.

This post shouldn’t bother me as much as it does. But it’s a reminder that people can get on here and say anything

"None of this dumbass s*** is real" yet you continue to put so much value in it

None of this matters if rappers keep dropping bs lol

hip hop is back.

It has the most monthly active users it’s ever had if that’s your metric for “falling off”

I personally wasn’t thinking about that when I said I didn’t fall off but it’s good to know either way you’re wrong

The most important thing is to stop calling streams "sales"

Youngboy won

There’s a whole formula that explains why streams are equal to sales.

Formula in question

wrong copy and paste

nigga this s*** ain't right lmao #EvenAsADrakeFan

It’s not right because why? There’s literally a math formula behind these figures chief 💀

they only care about sticking it to the man when it’s grammys or pulitzers

this is an arbitrary formula that some random white man came up with to devalue artists including the dude in your avatar because a couple hundred k or less "sales" sounds way less impactful than Millions and Billions of Streams

sales in music is genuinely the most useless metric

atp ticket sales are the only thing that matters if you’re trying to see how successful an artist is imo

facts. lil baby not being able to sell out an arena while Rod Wave & Gunna have been going on sold out arena tours for the past 3 years but casually almost every person would say lil baby is a "bigger" artist
