    totally, more so was asking because it’s clear Ye still cares about having #1 albums and so idt he’d drop in contention with justin.

    can still see this happening by end of the month though fingers crossed

    no, it doesnt count. i think he thinks he can do this cos hes never been independent and has had to do this himself in his life

    I dont really understand the situation, but if thats true thats such a ripoff to keep labels in power. Why on earth would you discredit sales off a website that makes literally 0 sense. I understand the bundling thing, but just buying straight codes not counting? wtf?

    agreed, it's definitely about major labels f***ing independents tho Bandcamp does count towards Billboard so theres that at least

    Thats good! Still though, if somebody goes it an artists website and buys it, theres a probability theyre more of a hardcore fan as its a bit out of the way. In reality its a step up in influence. So strange to not count that

  • Mar 13, 2024

    If Kanye drops on Friday, he will do it on his own site for 20$, and then act like JT stole his sales.

    And album will be uncooked.

    I think it was due to some f***ery by Nicki Minaj stans to boost her songs to #1. Probably harder to check legitimacy of sales when it's the artist's site and not something like iTunes.

    Im sure there are ways around that if people really tried. I think its more so a cop out to make everybody more dependant on labels.
