    Genuinely hilarious how this thread just decided that first week sales don’t matter anymore as soon as the guy they don’t like had a better debut sales week than anyone else so far this year

    Are you going to cry yourself to sleep about it

    This stat got me thinking if selling physicals and digital albums is not worth it for artists in the long run. If you buy a digital download, you are probably not going to stream the album anymore.
    So while you might get a great first week, in long term you lose a bit of sales

    Nope. All sales are good and if you can get them to boost your first week, do so. The only thing is that we're now deep in the streaming and because of that, pure sales are never sustainable. That's why streaming is more important.

    So, yes, while you can move massive units in pure sales in your debut week, if your album doesn't stream well in the weeks, months and years to come, none of that will matter.

    Weeknd album deadass got 0 2025 songs charting on Spotify Top 200 right now, just an old prerelease single before the album and fader is comparing it to Views/Scorpion dominating with a gazillion hits simultaneously like it’s the better and more impressive outcome lmaoooo

    It’s sending me that’s even being framed as a W too. Like how is an entire album coming and going then relying on a pre-release song from last year to keep it afloat a good thing Fader is legit top two delusional users

    Carti of all people's 3rd day is bigger than Drake & Weeknd's 1st days

    if you told someone a few years ago that Carti will be outstreaming DRake + The Weeknd globally you'd have been clowned for life

  • HUT has no legitimate impact, imagine your "last" album bring out of the top 10 in 2 months and only 1 song charting for a global star like the weeknd

    thats less than gnx

    less than GNX day 3? Yeah. GNX has way better longevity.

    GNX hitting close to 4X plat before end of the year off of 12 songs. He didn't even put NLU on it which most artists would do and would have been easily 5-6X plat in a year.

    what a run

    NLU really the biggest rap song.

    So it can look like the album doing numbers

    Sad!
