Prezidk what to think about sales numbers anymore. i mean obviously the metrics are different which is fair and needed since the consumption model has changed, but i feel like you have 1 group of people saying "these #1s that peak on release week and then fade aren't true hits" while you have other people saying "radio play should't make a song go #1 since that is controlled by corporations - streaming data is the true marker of popularity".
ultimately who cares. the numbers have gotten more complicated because media consumption has gotten more complicated. it is what it is
The numbers aren’t complicated at all if you know what to look for. People just choose when it matters based on whoever’s on top at the moment

For example, there’s people in here that called gnx “the biggest rap album of the decade” but it’s now charting at 98 on billboard and is being outcharted by 9 Drake albums. Anyone who knows anything about how the current charts work is not surprised by this because of the importance of streaming on an album’s long term success. People twisting the numbers to push narratives or just being ignorant doesn’t mean the numbers are complicated. Just means you gotta use your brain

Those Drake albums are re-peaking because Drake just rolled out and dropped three albums
Back in July 2024 when NLU was popping off, GKMC and DAMN. were outcharting every single Drake project

It’s all fugazi regardless
Radio is paid for, pure sales are gimmicked, and streaming is heavily manipulated
Ultimately the fans are just gonna defend whichever one their favorite artist benefits from the most

or it just means men and women lie. the numbers tell a clear story
Numbers lie all of the time, only naive people believe otherwise
