charts in the absolute gutters and billboard is still refusing to increase the weight of streaming

They dont want rap to be on top.

Idk if this will do anything significant since people aren’t listening to music as much on any platform tbh

Top songs aren’t even putting up solid streaming numbers.

Morgan taking the only achievement Hurry Up Tomorrow had going for it as a finale to the disastrous movie release week is nasty work

Billboard got me regulated

It’s the people saying f*** rap not the industry

That’s the sad hard truth

HUT doing awful in that regard lol

Doesn’t take away from his older stuff tho

When people said this last year y’all said it doesn’t matter if the songs aren’t doing well on the charts

Are you gonna start a “DJ Spinning These Songs” thread next?

40/60

Its crazy. 15-16 years of dominance and he’s still going. Got them all worked up 🤣.

f*** the public!

*radio

DTMF 5B+ in streams already.

He just crossed 100B+ spotify streams joining Drake and Swift as well. Probably becomes the #1 streaming artist next year.

First album to do 10B streams in a year?

Kind of crazy that March 2020 charts were stronger

rap songs aint streaming either, top songs barely touching 1M daily streams. Nothing standing out.

The biggest reason Rap is declining is something half this forum still is in denial about: zero new tangible rap stars rising this decade. Billboard rules got nothing to do with that

Need these new kids to wake up and carry the torch already

yeah people were saying the drake kendrick beef saved rap, but if anything it looks like it was the grand finale for rap as a dominant cultural force. at least for the time being.

Labels gotta invest in talented rappers again.

We just getting regional “rappers” making the same indistinguishable trap music.

BigXThaPlug, Bossman Dlow, etc are not legitimate artists like what are we hyping as the future of the genre at this point lol

Where’s the rap that should be on top right now?

who is in denial of this lol

It’s been plenty of people on this site who start crying the “you’re not a real rap fan if you saying it’s dead” denial nonsense and also the ones who just claim it’s monoculture dying when at best it’s a partial obstacle but ultimately misplaced blame.

There can still be huge new names & huge hits from new artists. It’s been plenty examples in other genres
