this what niggas gotta get through their head, there is no more 1 millil first week, even 500k no bundles i doubt happens again

any rapper selling 100k currently (off streams not no bundle s***) is a big release

200k off streams and ur top 5-7 rappers out

350k+ is reserved for the big 3

Tekashi69
Mario Judah
Yeat

Site loves hyping up flavor of the month trash rappers

flavor of the month for 3 years straight huh

thats not how that works

Comparing Yeat to Mario Judah

DMXs never had a billboard song crack the top 27. Yeat’s has been #2 so not really a good perspective to look at it from lol

I might be in the fringe minority who only likes 2093 and doesn’t like anything else yeat has done lol and that mainly was because of the production on that album

that's just a classic Jim post fr lol

i like his early stuff, but his last few projects have been his best imo

you'll like his next album then, a dangerous lyfe, meant to be more in line with 2093

wasn't a hit

he has no mainstream hits besides maybe that bell song

Correction: Labels did.

Back then, appealing to the radio, MTV, CD market, etc. was guaranteed to help boost rapper's sales because that was the only way to accomplish it.

Now, with the decline of radio, TV, and CD's, labels have been trying to push for streaming and social media clout but they're learning really fast how unsustainable it is.

braindead take

if he's still the #1 selling album according to this graphic, how has the experiment failed?

Every artist has ebbs and flows, ups & downs. Yeat is doing just fine. Personally I don't LOVE the album itself but it's decent, way better than 2093.

why even bring up an artist who's had such a longer career than Yeat? He's been out here since 2011.

let a pretentious rapper from Yeat's generation drop, nobody's listening to that mysterious s***

that's a crazy thing to reflect on man

we truly live in a different time

Chart placement is so fleeting

you'll have the top 10 song in the country and then 2 weeks later it's vanished from the top 50

• it’s 2024
• DMX’s highest charting songs were bigger than most #1s nowadays so that’s a bad example and yes there’s data to prove that - his crazy album sales

lol get busy is not his biggest song

All I’m hearing in this thread is e x c u s e s

Maybe I'm missing something but how is 85k fw a "flop?"

Do ya'll realize how much rap sales have declined over time?

It's like some of ya'll are still stuck in the 2000's or early 2010's era where 300k+ fw was still normal.

Yeat doesn't even have crossover appeal like that so these numbers especially aren't bad for someone of his caliber.

big day for those who've been waiting 3 years to feel fulfilled by this

what's his biggest song?

probably money so big or the song with drake

but he still has other songs with more streams than get busy

money so big was big too but not like mainstream level big

you're right about the drake record though
