Albums don’t stop selling after the first week. Unless you’re Pusha T.

He’s rich. Why are you worried about him?

Or maybe it’s a guy who isn’t purposely dumbing his music down for the masses and actually cares about the quality of his projects and would rather put out classic content rather than microwave pop rap that children these days eat up just to sell records

Some guys actually care about the music they put out

Kendrick never became a 500k+ first week standard artist. People - fans and haters alike - need to understand that DAMN was an exception. It was a perfect storm of events: first album to use the goodwill and momentum he built up after TPAB, club banger lead single/buzzworthy video followed by an immediate album release

I’m sure fans who say Mr Morale did its numbers because of less commercial content have their hearts in the right place. They don’t intend to “excuse” him…but they’re still wrong. A 500k+ first week standard artist is still doing 500k+ first week after a five year wait and high anticipation with that same content

He simply isn’t that type of artist with that type of demand. Still a superstar but a lot of people here were mislead by nothing more than an exception. Kendrick is typically an upper 300k first week level artist just as Drake is typically an upper 600k level artist

Bad Bunny is outdoing Kendrick Lamar on Spotify as well as Apple Music.

Spotify US

Mr. Morales & the Big Steppers
Day 6: 13,544,295

Un Verano Tin Si
Day 13: 13,789,311

Where was all this talk when he made DAMN. and was doing numbers? Now it's all about the art, right? Spare me all the excuses and go help yourself out to another hit of that copium.

It's bad out here for Kendrick. Bad Bunny second week numbers will be bigger than Kendrick's second week numbers. That's pretty much confirmed right now.

To be fair tho, MMBS and Un Verano are two completely different albums but still it’s funny

thegreatdivine and zack have been in this thread for 130+ pages. im f***ing crying

well to be honest shes the op

You realize bad bunny is an international superstar and arguably the second biggest artist in the world right? It ain’t like he is about to take an L to Kenny Chesney.

being an op is one thing, arguing about sales of an album for 130+ pages is another thing entirely.

cannot imagine being the op of a thread related to the most boring aspect of music. literally delusional

The insecurity has me

The op has been in their own thread. Breaking news

Bro made 11 mega hits (including 3 diamond hits) in the span of 4 years

There was no way he was going to keep up that pace. This is going to be his flop era

It's an L any way you look at it. That's why I didn't post Spotify Global numbers because he's been outdoing Kendrick there since day 2 but this is Spotify US and in less than a week, a Latin artist is already doing one of the biggest rappers in the US. That is definitely noteworthy.

Two goats.

Excuses, excuses, Mr Moscato.

I've done my best to post accurate, factual information about albums and their performance since I made this thread and I'm getting called out for that lmao.

You been in here for a minute too, you seem hurt
