movThis is actually crazy that UVST sold 3.4 million copies
I find it funny that Drake stans don’t include Morgan Wallen in these “biggest year ever”conversations.
One Thing At A Time sold 5 million copies in 2023, an additional 3 million in 2024, and they act like it doesn’t exist. It’s like they understand the difference between just selling a ton of albums and actually vastly affecting culture while doing so.
That’s why I gotta laugh when they try to say stuff like “Drake keeps the lights on at Universal”.
It can genuinely be argued that he’s not even a Top 3 biggest artist on their roster right now

"Un Verano Sin Ti is also the first album to spend its first six months on the chart in the top two, since the Billboard 200 began publishing in 1956."
This stat is actually more impressive than anything else. Longevity unlike anything we have ever seen.

All while being an album that is COMPLETELY in a secondary language in the country. Genuinely insane performance

UVST is a classic. I was listening to this album last week and man... I know so many people who can't even speak the language and they loved it because it was just too good

It was, and then when you would explain to them what that meant they would say “you’re lying, Abel wouldn’t do that”

3. Scored the biggest debut week for any album in that year.
4. Scored the bestselling album in that year.

Feb 11, 2025mangotfluNo one in the US cared about Bad Bunny before MIA dropped

I don't think you can say that. Before MIA dropped, I Like It was a massive hit in the US.
MIA became Bad Bunny's first top 10 hit in the US as a lead artist, though. It also became the first song sang entirely in Spanish to reach #1 on US Rhythmic radio.
Overall, I'd say both those songs were very instrumental to Bad Bunny breaking into the US market.

K DOG 99Bro trynna say 490k is flop
Thread is hilarious as always, good to see mental illness on display sometimes
The Weeknd sold 130k. The narrative of him selling 490k needs to stop. Dude sold opium merch and half pressed vinyls for first week sales. Its embarrassing. Them streams were ass
bmass 🇵🇭Feb 11, 2025Expertyour brain cant grasp bad bunny 2022 peak still huh
He had the biggest streaming album ever/broke barriers and toured bigger than any year Drake has had.
And bad bunny was was everywhere to a point we couldnt go out without bad bunny songs.
He changed the nightlife dynamics of most of America. That's culture.
Real ass post
