New Childish Gambino album is kinda flopping

  • The songs with the most streams on Spotify have around 1.5 million streams rn and the lowest performing songs go as low as 400k streams

    That's... not good at all. Jay Electronica had similar streaming numbers in the same time frame and he sold 28k fw (shorter album though)

    Let this be a lesson for all artists out there. These corny mysterious gimmicks are just not worth it. The album is amazing but this rollout truly ruined the success of it.

    I think it's pretty clear that he went out of his way to tank his sales

    . Releasing on a sunday
    . Putting your entire album out for free the week before
    . Your album being free on torrents a week prior being your entire marketing
    . No real song titles minus the singles
    . No cover
    . No real album title

    But the question is why tho? He could have easily sold 250k-300k first week, he had crazy hype and even did Coachella last year..it just makes no sense to me.

    I don't even understand why a label would agree to tanking there potential sales in the first place..very strange.

    Quality project tho.
