people blaming streaming, if that was the case scorpion/views would be #1 if it was based off streams/sales

billboard got some secret metric we dont know about

my turn should def not be #1 tho

I did guess and it was what I thought because I’m smart and I know

Speakerboxxx / TLB @ 78

looks like its just chart position lol?

I don’t understand it but My Turn is definitely ridiculously good.

I truly hate these meaningless lists that come out almost daily. No one believes this s***. It’s annoying that every album that goes #1 is “record breaking” usually in multiple ways. That’s not even possible. I don’t go outside much but I’ve definitely never heard lil baby outside before. Ofcorse he’s a big artist but he’s true mysterious music if he’s getting ranked as the biggest rap album. He’s definitely buy sales with that weed money

How is it biased towards the streaming era if the second highest album is an Adele album from 2011

As it should be My Turn a classic

What are they using for "biggest" - streams, sales, social media impressions?

Billboard turning into a subjective ranking and rating system is criminal. Whole point is they're supposed to be the source of objective, clearly-defined metrics and numbers now they're just making s*** up

No Graduation?

Hamilton is literally higher

Graduation is still outperforming most of these

This list sums up the cognitive dissonance we all feel seeing certain artists on Billboard constantly when they never impact us IRL.

Hollywood's Bleeding being the 7th biggest album of the last 25 years, for example. No one on the planet would argue that, but Sunflower was tacked onto it for streams, so it skews the numbers.

This is like ESPN when lebron breaks the record for third quarter points on a tuesday lirl

not hating but this doesnt even make sense

because 21 is that big, streaming or not

but thats just one album, the list has 100

the use of the word "biggest" to describe this is misleading

looks like even billboard themselves didnt describe it like that. its just a list of the top billboard placement performers (so the actual sales doesnt matter )

It is based on numbers. But the formula is a little off.

i think with new rules and random albums song going platinum more recent albums are “bigger”

none of the numbers make sense anymore and they change all the time you haven’t been able to trust them for like 10 years now
