4/10 best selling albums this year were rap

Pusha T really doubled all these guys in sales that’s crazy

mr morale has the lowest first week sales for a top seller since pink friday 2 back in 2012

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_in_hip_hop_music

majority of the top charting singles were just album debuts that fell off after the first week

Idk if it's cus I'm getting old but I'm finding it very hard to find good new hip hop that isn't just a rehash of something that's already been done

Sales s***ty for everyone now

Money is in touring and merch and sponsorships

Cause too much trash!

nobody listens to those artists irl

all these people irrelevant

future and gunna chillin

Considering I haven’t listened to any of those albums it makes sense

That’s Tory’s highest fw since the alleged shooting lol

1. Even event albums have shorter shelf life than prior years
2. Bundle rule changes lowered everyones numbers
3. Young guns so so far have been unable to reach Big Three level success/fanbase
4. Shorter attention spans, aided by Tik Tok/streaming becoming standardized

this year has been pretty mid for mainstream hip hop

i don't care

Lmao everyone in the OP riddled with controversy

Niggas was acting like kendricks 295 was awful and its still the highest first week this year lmao

I had no idea Freddie finally release. in as hell. thanks OP.

cudi trash

Are those really the best examples you could come up with OP?

You mean Freddie Gibbs didn't go double platinum in the first week? that's crazy

Nigga that’s for artist that barely even sell lmao

🤣

Those dudes are selling what you’d expect.

No its just those artists lol

nigga put Tory Lanez
