Or it can make the album worse. And if they’re already not a good artist it can sound vapid and overproduced compared to plenty of simple lower budget albums

u not gonna get an answer if u mix all three.

Of course sales matter to the artist, thats money in their pocket and a bigger budget for their next album.

Sales also matter for cultural impact. If everyone heard it, it had an impact on the culture.

Do sales matter when it comes to how good the music sounds to me? Not at all. Good music is good music, how many other people like it shouldn't matter.

Ok

You don’t understand the post or just stupid?

lmfao u kno im right, thats why u mad

Loll i don’t know man you mentioning drake

I’m just answering op

People think sales don’t matter cuz they have no sense of what longevity and consistency is

Just take into account longevity and consistency and obviously 90% of sales dont matter

I'm talking about the people that think sales dont matter at all which is why I said there are three types of people here.

This is a Drake thread.

Can you show an example to help us understand what you're getting at

well yeah, sales shouldn't matter if we talking bout how good the music is. I mean u telling me u let other ppl's opinions decide whats good to u?

But if you have longevity and consistency that’s not BECAUSE of sales lol. Sales don’t mean s*** for most artists but can be indicative of staying power as a pop star, that’s it. There are musicians with even longer and more consistent careers than the biggest pop stars who don’t sell well bc they’re niche stylistically

look bruh, me n u both kno exactly who u had in mind when writing that, its no use acting like u dont

Sales only matter for when kids wanna squabble over who’s favorite artist is more relevant

Bow and arrows first post in my thread

I already addressed this in the thread lol

Ok good for them

I’m not saying you have it because of sales

I’m saying the only way you can use sales as a backing for why this artist is good or better than another if you are using sales is only if they have been consistent and have longevity

I don’t know why that’s hard to grasp

After the internet really exploded and all of these forums/social media flourished, and people started to pretend the sales don’t matter because they personally like artists that don’t sell.

End thread

We’ve seen song pop off TikTok and create careers it doesn’t mean it’s good

address it again but in one clear post, u a lil too vague for me rn n im trynna see ur perspective

so u basically saying one hit wonders don't count...

I agree

No it is speak for yourself a lot if kTT listens to obscure “mysterious music” it’s just that the mainstream music a commonality that people’s speak on

Why are you being aggressive ? he just made statement

this is 100% true. I make a thread abt SimxSantana or abt UK house rap, it gets like 2 replies n falls off the front page

Van Gogh never sold a painting in his lifetime
