Zack From The SixThe charts are supposed to show who's more popular among the population. 1,500 streams equals 1 album sale.
What do you think represents what's most popular better:
1 crazy stan buying 10 copies of the same album to inflate sales
15.000 streams from a loooot of people, that results in 10 sold copies?tbf i don’t agree that one person should be able to buy more than like two albums but still streaming is inherently non committal while spending hard earned money on something is

shaleiroseHe’s not struggling on streaming, the first week streams for Dawn and After Hours are borderline identical
It’s just that hip hop streams more, especially on Apple Music where Billboard weighs those more being that they’re all paid streams, unlike Spotify
Nope, there's a difference of almost 50 million streams in the first week. That's a lot. Especially when you consider that After Hours had other ways of consuming the album, like the physicals. With Dawn you were left with streaming only, yet it had 47 mil less streams in the first week.
Jan 18, 2022·editedBobby Balenciagaagain if it’s this easy to get critics to give you a good score than why doesn’t everyone do it
that's definitely not for everyone. happens rarely with big artists, but smaller acts trying to "befriend" some specific writers and publications all the time, keeping in touch with them. if they succeeded on early stages, then the later reviews might actually just mirror it
that's like fantano scores and rym ratings correlations (like rym is literally fantano audience), but more complicated

After Hours had 50 million more streams and less tracks. That's not identical that's a huge difference. 220 million vs 170 million. He definitely lost some fans

Because believe it or not every artist doesn't care about critics. How many times do Ye and Drake got to get s*** on and still keep doing them no matter how many times critics beg for them to make the music they want to hear? When you're at the top you don't give af. I'm surprised Abel still does

People are trying to say Dawn was a surprise rollout but DS4 actually was one and Dawn wasn't. There's no way we can spin this

Its a joke lol, neither had physicals first week
Its not common for physicals to count first week, since they gotta ship first week
And Weeknd still did more pure (digital) units - Jan 18, 2022The Darkest Angel
