I never understood why the mainstream sleeps on Party. It's easy to blame OVO marketing but they do the most for him compared to the rest of the artists. No reason these shouldn't have been hits
It’s actually pretty simple
He’s not even remotely interesting as an entertainer
Genius musician, but that’s such a small part of why casuals gravitate towards certain acts

Massive was too long for radio but if he made a 3 minute radio edit it could've picked up. It was still a summer anthem I just expected to hear it more than I did

Never broke top 40
charting is weird for that album bc of the exclusivity period with tidal who didn’t report to billboard iirc
Graduation is already super classic,
But he could’ve came out with this as a single too if he wanted
This song alone created Chance's career lol
I was surprised this wasn’t that big especially at the time
