Save Your Tears is still doing better on the charts than any Dawn FM song atm

Only real music gonna last

Can we classify those albums as “really really successful” when they don’t even move 300k first week

Do you measure success by first week sales only? Wtf lmao both of those albums have crazy legs

the numbers are right there and they do not lie

drake
morgan wallen
doja
olivia rodrigo

Well he released the album four different times and added an Ariana Grande remix a year later. That album’s relevance definitely got juiced

Yes. First week sales matter less than ever. Labels much rather have an album selling 30k in its 15th week than 300k first week and falling off by the 5th week

rosalia - motomami

no stylist

Recurring revenue is the goal

CLB (I don’t listen to drek)

Folklore has nothing to do with Stevie Nicks bruh what’s wrong with you

what did they mean by that wtf

I was gonna make a thread asking a similar question. Mines is where are the new voices and artist with completely unique styles and sounds?

CLB, After Hours, SFTSAFTM, Sour, Planet Her, My Turn

CLB

Quite a few but they're not the hitmaking types.

cant have a hit thread without some vagueness

Sometimes I might be..

WLR is honestly one of those albums that’ll be in the “choose 1 to live with for the rest of your life” Twitter posts like NWTS, 2014, GKMC, TPAB etc it’s the last album that feels like is truly cemented and didn’t come and go

A rapper who got exposed with Blackface, a rapper who got exposed in a racial chat room, and a country singer who got exposed saying the N word.\

Edit: Just realized this is an old thread I already posted on lol.

WLR for sure. Only instant classic I can think of for the past few years

If I’m gauging what OP means in regards to success + “things happening” then SOUR is the closest thing to a most recent answer

but it’s really Scorpion/Invasion of Privacy/Astroworld
