Because it validates what's hot and what's not.
Like the stock market
Art is not a market
stocks are based on sales
despite the bundle era f***ing s*** up, sales are a good indicator of relevance, but not an end all be all. its an objective metric to use in debates in arguments for such a subjective art that is music
Why would you care if an artist you like is popular or not? Wouldn't you like their music if they weren't?
@Goo bruh lol
Was about to sue until I realized he worded it differently

nah this s*** gotta get moved too lol
A recent trend in the rap community has been focusing on how much an artist sells but it’s obviously not a sign of quality in a record so why should we even care how much an artist sells?
I’m glad when my favorite musician is successful but counting their pockets and sales causes music to be a popularity contest.

Since we're talking "we":
Many fellas feel insecure about their music taste so they resort to sales metrics to feel validated.
Others are genuinely curious about an artist's relevancy and charts are a very good measure for that.

consistently just be having bad takes, bro is on an all time WOAT streak lol.
This is not a recent trend at all.
Nowadays people obsess over numbers worse than before. Its always been a conversation but its more prevalent now.

I don't really get it either. Its not like you are getting a pay cut.
I understand that you want your favorite artist to be successful and i was also happy when i heard that Carti went number 1 for example but there is no merit in knowing the exact sales number and comparing that to other artists numbers. Like some people on here are doing excel tables and s***.

Kinda hard to discuss what ages well cause of generational differences.
