He just had his most successful first week album release.

Streaming has brainwashed you niggas into thinking it matters more than sales when it comes to commercial performance

Most people who buy bundles are buying them for the shirt, hoodie, or whatever collectible item is included. I have no issue with them but to act like these kids born in like 06 are actually listening to this album on their signed CD is crazy

W framing

trying to paint 85k and a No1 as an L is 2024 is wild

A sale is a sale.

I’m 99% positive that Yeat and his team view this as a success.

Streaming is not the end all be all that some people make it out to be

It shows that people didn’t really listen to his album like that

It’s not framing anything

If you were a newer artist selling 85K in your first week and that was also your highest first week of career so far, you would be ecstatic

It shows that he had his most successful first week of his career so far

I came wit the blick

I just brought the fye

I can’t f*** wit nun these lames

They a f***in lie

Why do some of y’all think that sales are as easy as just putting a link up?

There are plenty of artists who have done physical copies and bundles and still utterly flopped, it’s not a guarantee that the work will sell

True. It’s also true that it was listened to a lot less times than his last album

It’s okay we can’t all have critical thinking skills

It’s not critical thinking, it’s that streaming has warped your mind

Y’all did the exact same thing with Utopia

Utopia actually had a good ratio of listens to merch sales

-old person thats never listened to a single yeat song or album

There were loads of people on here saying the album flopped first week because more than half of its’ sales came from pure sales rather than streaming

It was pretty much only Drake d*** eaters saying that because he outsold the mid known as for all the dogs.

Bro really posted a picture of Yeat getting a #1 album for the 1st time and said he failed

I can't

Genuine question: do you think Yeat and his team are happy or upset with these numbers?

They would be disappointed with the streams but see his general branding is still strong

U are not business minded bro

You are the one not business minded if you think artists are still prioritizing streams in big 2024

Artists make next to nothing off streams. Big artists are making their bread off touring and physical sales right now

Up 2 me was different you crazy

this site is so cooked lmao
