most albums charting dont have songs currently in hot 100

songs couldn’t chart without being sold as a single first before they changed it

so if you wanted a certain song you would just buy the single if they made it
but according to them it was killing album sales

so they would stop putting singles out or limited time drop them which made you have to buy the whole record

Fr lol. Literally the only era where most albums were bought for the sake of listening to actual albums was the 70s

If anything streaming is showing the listener’s intent in actual numbers as opposed to simply buying an album and being able to infer the intent behind buying it.

What I mean is if Scorpion for example was in the physical era, these stats that reflect listener intent would be the same - except we wouldn’t be able to see that intent in percentages like we can in your post. All we could see is “well they bought the album”

This is all true, but that type of emotional connection existed because we make an emotional connection out of merchandised objects. Now that you don’t have to buy CDs to listen to music anymore, albums are no longer merchandise and thus that default emotional connection is gone

Seeing future album surpassing midrick this week

Bad Bunny still owns half the top 20 on Apple Music

Doing 100k+ for 5 consecutive weeks is wild

drake doing that with no promo and an old album

Drizzy you killin em these rappers garbage 🗣🗣

That’s including his whole discography. Imagine how much Drakes catalogue is worth

King slime drizzy

Youngboy numbers are crazy af

Might do it for 10 consecutive weeks at this rate.

He's releasing way more music than anyone else on that list to be able to put up the numbers he's doing but it's still impressive regardless.

F*** the award. He always get awards. To go from TPAB to DAMN was obviously a stepdown come on son.

Post debuting #2 after a Bad Bunny album that’s been out for weeks was def not on my bingo card

Bad bunny season
