Never forget when sales talk got quarantined to the charts thread for the month following Kenny Chesney's #1
It should be like this 24/7
OP’s right. We need a sales sxn so we can have music discussion in this sxn
Quality control is called censoring now
This is a forum not a news blog
You cant censor certain discussion and call it “quality control”
Men lie, women lie, numbers dont.
tidal streaming playing confirmed this line didn't age well
Funny part is there really haven’t been a huge discussion of sales up until Weeknd took the L.
The man sold out but want to talk quality when it’s convenient. Knowing damn well if Weeknd outsold Gunna or did higher numbers the discussion would be totally different
We would not be highlighting the sales more than the art though
I can’t believe y’all are having the same discussion with Dawn FM as you guys did with Heartless vs. Blinding Lights. Cause I’m sure the end result will be the same:
• Low initial sales cause the music is inspired by a different time period (80s) and America is addicted to 808s
• It catches on with the global community first cause the music itself is actually good
• America plays catch up on music they disregarded at first bc they didn’t like it until they saw that the rest of the world liked it
This argument better be deaded when dawn doesnt end up being as big as AH in a few months.

Yes you literally can lmaooooo
Why do you think mods exist and can lock threads etc
Weeknd fans so deranged from losing to Wunna they begging to ban sales threads
Abel himself cares less
accept the L and move on wit ya life!
You tried this is bigger than a Weeknd sales thread
I just said what everybody is thinking (with the exception of one particular fanbase ofc)
just had a nervous breakdown because I enjoyed a song but can't find it anywhere on the charts
Ehhh he was never top Undisputed
More of a rotating triumvirate
Like Caesar
This simply not true and only is stated because he wasn’t the highest selling in his prime years. Doesn’t mean he didn’t run s***
It should be like this 24/7
Facts it worked really well. The discussion in that thread is always pretty productive as well

It’s called moderation

Weakened has been on the 80s wave for how many years now?
suddenly discussing sell is an issue with unabel to sell albums flops after his stans thought he was a super star lmao
Nah, it's been a issue when Stans (mostly Drake stans) make it their only argument to how good an album is.
Sales = Popularity/Attention/Quantity.
Sales =/= Creativity/Fresh/Quality.
I have never been in any of the Sales Threads, but to see how corny a lot of these niggas circlejerking over how much their fav artist is selling, it's completely wack that this is becoming the main topic of discussion. Time for mods to make a SXN, this is wack af bruh.
I think a sales channel + being able to exclude channels are probably the best solution if anyone is serious about this
