I still feel he deserves more, 1 thing I don't want Donald to fall under the "underappreciated" category when it's all set and done. But if he wants it the way it is then so be it.

His own fault for doing all this bullshit. If he’d done a regular release this wouldn’t have happened.

I didn't discredit anything hes done i love his stuff.
But artists care about sales period.

Never said he doesn't have a career we're talking sales in a sales thread

if he cared about numbers itd be different

Op ignored all the posts on the first page to further complain about numbers lol

Frank does more promo than this

Didn't he sign with RCA right after his last album when he finished his deal with Glassnote?

Thats what he gets for trying to be mysterious

Take in account he's a 3/10 artist then the sales are really good then

He sold out arenas last year and had a number one yet he a niche artist?

He clearly doesn’t care lmao

The only promo he did for the album was changing his profile picture on Instagram/Twitter

His manager tweeted out the f***ing stream for f***s sake

This. This is why I don't even come here anymore.. nobody even talks about the actual music it's just numbers based bullshit

Like where are my niggas at that truly listen to music? Music is an intimate experience and people just aren't getting that.. it's sad man

general public isnt listening to gambino anymore

this is america only went 1 cause of the video and came and went pretty quickly

You're missing the entire point lol

Hes never relesed a good album

If he really cared about numbers he would have promoted it and dropped it on a normal Friday release. Some artists just don't wanna be robots and do whatever the f*** they wanna do with their music. It's still enjoyable that should matter at the end of the day.

BTI, AML and 3.15.20 out now

Didnt read the whole thread but did OP just compare a songs strean with a WHOLE album streams.

KTT really fell off after 1 died

I swear to god, Biggie Smalls could come back to life tomorrow and release music so good that it literally makes you c***when you listen to it and KTT would still complain he didn't sell as 500k fw

major labels care about sales, which in turn makes the artist have to care about sales. thats the question we should be asking: does this label care how much donald sells?

its his first album with them and we know the only reason he would sign with them is for artistic freedom. interesting to see if they pissed off how he basically didnt promote this at all, aswell as not even naming the album lol

now if he cared himself, he would’ve promoted this heavily, but he hasnt even tweeted. and the reason why it doesnt affect him that much is cos he has so many other sources of income and success in other media forms. this isnt an end to his means

he released the album on a sunday morning
the album has no artwork
the songs have no real titles
it's experimental af

yeah, i don't think he cares about numbers, op

What makes you think that he does? Or is that something you've been conditioned to believe? I just wanna know what actually makes you think Donald Glover cares about that with all the success he's had throughout his career, and has often said that TV/film is what has made him the most money. What impression has he given in the past few years that he cares about album sales?

You realize that if he actually cared about that s*** even slightly we probably would've seen more videos for songs off of Awaken My Love and a proper tour to support that album.

It might be hard for you to understand since you're one of those people obsessed with streaming/sales numbers for some weird reason even though you're not seeing a dime of that s***, but there are artists who genuinely do not give a damn about numbers and the charts and actually just care about music, not the industry bullshit. What a concept...
