If you actually do.
Are you seeing any revenue and checks that your favorite artist is making?
When did you even start caring about album sales?
Do album sales actually determine whether you like an album or not?

It's another way for people to vicariously live thru their favorite artists that's all

I just like to see my favorite artist do well. Pop Smoke was my favorite up comer, I would've been hype to see him even over 50k first week. R.I.P.

Tbh I think most people just want to see their favorite artist succeed, which I can agree with.

If Juice was alive and dropped another project and it flopped, I'd still enjoy it and gas it up on KTT if it was good

When someone I like sells a lot it makes me happy for them but otherwise I have no interest

Nobody cared about album sales on KTT until Drake/Kendrick tbh

they have nothing to do with the quality of music so nah

It’s just something to look at. Imo it only get weird when people use sales to determine quality or they act like their the ones doing numbers

I only appreciate it when I love the album and it vindicates the artist to making more music like it. But when something that I don't personally care for is doing super well, it doesn't matter because it doesn't correlate to quality.

i just think its cool to see the numbers and compare them tbh

they don't change how i view an album or anything

I'll never use it to measure an artist's abilities, put down, or lift one over another.

But I like to see artists I'm connected to succeed.

Anything further than that is wack

These mfs only care about sales when they have an agenda to push, otherwise they’re irrelevant

Cause it's an objective metric when discussing music.

drake says I have to

next question

I only care when King Kendrick does 600k fw

I like it because it’s interesting to see the landscape of hip hop and follow the business behind it

Better question here is why are u so bothered that people care about sales if u dont?

Idgaf tbh

we want the artists we like to be successful so they'll continue making great music and push them to do better

It's cool to celebrate your favorite artist doing well, what's not cool is weaponizing it and using it to s*** on other artist for arguments sake.

Cus their dads watch espn

Literally just a stream of questions. Other people been answering them normally, and then there's you. Quit being sensitive.

Diggin the answers so far. Me personally I don't care about sales, and I never pay attention to them. Only thing I care about is if the music is actually good or not.

A few years ago I would be impressed by albums selling a lot, but I noticed in this era of streaming, merch/digital album bundles, etc it has become easier than ever to "sell alot" so I feel like high album sales has since been kinda empty in some regards.
