What makes y’all think Afro beats streams well?
Wrong question to ask. We're not discussing him streaming well, we're discussing how well he sold out an arena.

Yeah, it just means that streaming numbers aren't too important for him. There are musicians who have better first-week sales numbers than him who can't get as large of an audience in person.
He's a Nigerian artist, Universal is a french owned global company (Edit he's on Warner but same shyt). They're not pushing him through radio and playlists cause the US ain't ready yet. Just like that dumb smart runner said, people think the world ends outside of these borders :mjlol:

The dynamics of the music business are complex, always have been and always will be. It's always about what the question is, how profitable he is, dedicated his fans are, how well he performs on radio or streaming, how many fans he has, geographic, demographic etc. And even with profit we won't know cause we don't know how much the label spends or what the artists deal is.

Selling out Arenas in different countries worldwide appeal

??? he is a global star but we aren’t talking about that.

I posted a domestic stat. He had a huge pre album roll out here in America. The place people keep saying afrobeat is taking over. Even had J Cole 21 savage, and Talibans on here.

Anyone downplaying the American market is dumb. He and his team have coveted it and he has made inroads but its clear he isnt bad bunny in the US.

The same people who are sales obsessive when it comes to rappers are juelzing hard.

You shouldn’t expect him to be near Bad Bunny status there are less African and Black Caribbean people in the US than there are Latinos, also far more cacs will support Bad Bunny than Burna Boy who’s is almost exclusively listened to by black people especially women.

I agree but thats not the narrative that has been circulating.

Afrobeats taking over was mostly coming from the “I hate rap” crowd on here.

You know that wasn’t true
