Aug 31, 2023slimreapercantrapthey spend the money but its not rlly on the album. like if someone wants a cactus jack hat, they might be cool w paying $20 for it. what's rlly going on is some guy is buying a hat for $20, but by calling the hat's price $17 and throwing in a copy of the album for $3, some guy buying a hat now counts for album sales.
and it's not like dude is listening to the album more, likely he's just going to stream it anyways, like he would have done with no hat. but now he gets counted twice, for streams and for the purchase.
i mean if u can pull it off its just the smart thing to do, so im not gonna hate on it. it does basically count some ppl twice tho, so thats why ppl treat it like cheating.
thats how it use to work not anymore

Aug 31, 2023Ehhh he spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on Spotify and Apple Music Spotify campaigns and was just gassing himself on his instastory last week when HDD projected him to come in at 53K
You can’t cry about a game you willingly decide to play
Funny, when he signed to Atlantic and best on earth went crazy his streams were legit though

Travis 2nd biggest solo song off UTOPIA is “I KNOW” (2nd to MY EYES) and that song is straight Russ cosplay.
From the beat to the hook. That’s a bit of irony to this whole situation. Just sayin.

copy paste
"The new combinations of merch and albums, dubbed “fan packs,” will allow fans to support their favorite artists on the charts in a way that research suggests that many would like to. However, the packs will be restricted to just two options per album release — a sweatshirt with an LP and a t-shirt with a CD, for example — with the requirement that each individual item must also be sold separately in the same web store. Fan packs will include only merch — not tickets, meet-and-greet opportunities, virtual items or non-tangible benefits — and they must also contain a physical copy of an album: Combinations of digital downloads and merch will not count towards the charts. In addition, fan pack offerings must be approved in advance of their on-sale date by Luminate and Billboard."
