He reported 37K pure sales to Billboard that were flagged as fraudulent. Basically he tried to use bots to get the #1 album for the week (37K would’ve put his total at 110K, giving him the edge over Taylor for #1)

Future might not sell 200k but he’s not gonna fall off either he’s the King of Atlanta

Facts. He was at risk of oversaturating himself in 2024 tho I will say. Glad he sat down for a min

Embarrassing s*** from Savage and his team lmao

Drake affiliated artist gets caught trying to fake his sales. Where is the outrage from Drake stans? They were screaming bloody murder when Kendrick was falsely accused of bots but they’re very quiet rn.

They always filter sales this isnt a new thing lol.

Example Meltdown.

you got bigger fish to fry

He does? Like what?

That been happened

You think future fell off? I mean he is damn near 50 I get it

I'm just shocked to see niggas use 100k+ as the bar of success for Future now

Very bad day for Savage's team

Despicable behavior exposed

It's always good to see Billboard's filtering system go to work.

DS2 - 151k
evol - 134k
future - 140k
hndrxx - 121k
the wizrd - 125k
high off life - 153k
i never liked you - 222k
we don't trust you - 251k
we still don't trust you - 124k
mixtape pluto - 129k

he's definitely got some remarkable consistency in that range. it's gonna be interesting to see if he can defy the trends with his next album.

Im going to call stupid. This isnt a bot situation this is a p2p through a click, where fans bought/streamed the album through an alt website, which is like a superfan direct to consumer market. These were self reported independantly outside of his labels marketing team who send the data to billboard. They most likely filtered it not because of "fraudulant reporting" but becauase of the rules they have with certain ways or album promo

@thegreatdivine
Can you share a little list of some of your favourites from 2025?

(Maybe it's off-topic but is it really tho? )

Nah, they filtered it because they were fake purchases

Nobody even knows what that app is

100K+ has been his bar literally since 2015

Mr. Krabs = 21 Savage

High Off Life and I Never Like You threw me off

What, like albums?

Billboard flags any activity their system detects as suspicious and removes it from the final numbers they report, whether that he suspicious streams/sales. It's clear that in 21 Savage's case, it was a case of fake/suspicious sales, similar to what happened with Nav not too long ago.

Albums or songs, however you want to do it
I would appreciate hearing your take on this

And given that you have to pay attention to so much stuff to maintain this thread it would be intriguing to see which things really stuck with you, appreciate you
