The reasons why DON’T TAP THE GLASS is not performing as well as CHROMAKOPIA are three very simple reasons:

1. CHROMAKOPIA is still performing well for Tyler. He’s still on a very successful tour for said album, and it’s still at #93 on the Billboard 200 after having released 9 months ago. For context, CMIGYL was at #146 nine months post-release. There was no clamor or hunger for a new Tyler album so soon while his most recent one is still relevant in people’s minds. This can also be referred to as The Dawn FM Effect.

2. The album is shorter than CHROMAKOPIA. It’s actually the shortest album in his entire discography, in both tracklist length andruntime. If you don’t know by now, album length directly impacts first week streaming numbers. The more tracks you have, the more likely it is to have more streams in your first week.

3. This is the first Tyler album since Cherry Bomb to have a pretty mixed reception overall. Some people think the rapping is weak, some people don’t like the singing, some feel like some of the Tyler-isms have overstayed their welcome in his work. Whatever the reason, the album is not seeing the near unanimous praise that his stretch of albums from Flower Boy to CHROMAKOPIA received. This is subjective, but it also directly impacts how much people are returning to the album, again directly impacting the first week numbers.

Niggas already coping for Tyler is hilarious because those are the same niggas who think every Drake album ever should put up monster numbers simply because it's Drake

mangotidiot is dense as always

YSL2 did obviously more because Gunna and Thug had momentum in 2021 and it was covid like dawg of course people had more time and listened to it more

Jackboys 2 had no momentum at all. S*** came and went after 8 hours

the top 3 tracks are doing half the streaming numbers of the top 3 tracks of chromokopia...

im sorry but the lack of rollout doesn't explain that at all.

People were not hungry for a new Tyler album so soon. They were already still eating off CHROMA. It was an obvious passion project for him, but I’m sure even he had to be aware that dropping so soon after a very commercial successfully project for him would hamper this one’s commercial performance

It's not a flop. Show me another House album doing numbers that's even close to this?

(I already checked it for you, don't waste your time. No one has done it)

It will actually be very stable. You'll see once we get the 2nd week numbers. People are going crazy about it now on twitter.

never seen you use these type of excuses for Drake numbers

historically its actually been the opposite, the more an artist drops, the hungrier people are

Idk if anyone ever followed up with you but HNM was not stable

Objectively means that you consider all facts. You have not considered the following:

He did not do any promotion.
No single.
He announced it some hours before he dropped it.
It's a house album. Those do not sell well. You can't even find a recent House album that has sold more than 75K.
House producers and artists have been thanking him nonstop because he has given them the spotlight. They are now more motivated than ever to continue working on their craft.

215k from a surprise dance album with only 4 and a half days tracking very impressive indeed

not many artists can say the same
