People gotta start looking at sales numbers as consumption rates. It's not 2002 anymore: very few artists are doing elaborate, expensive roll outs to maximize first week sales. The subsequent weeks are more important now as fans slowly realize the album has been released, spam listen to the hits or most popular tracks, watch music videos etc. Look at the Kendrick album's insane sales since the first week. Some people here tried to clown the first week, which was surprise released at a random morning time. But anyone with a brain could tell that album had at least three hits on it, and the wild sales it has done every week since then make that very clear. I'm sure Bad Bunny will have similar longevity week to week, as he always does.

Yeah. First week sales don’t matter in the stressing era.

The thing with streaming. Its the same people listening to it over and over. Thats how you get the “i dont hear no one listen to him” even though said album is like 4x platinum.



Streaming is just weird to gauge

I've never heard an entire Bad Bunny song and the only person I've ever met who was a fan was a chick at a function whose song choice got stepped on because nobody was trying to hear it.

I'm sure he has a solid fan base but I definitely question how much label help he gets.

Isn’t a label suppose to help their artists get more exposure? Lmao.

He’s independent and you’re underestimating the Latino population and just people that are bilingual such as myself. I’ve spent weeks in Central America during the past two summers and the music is goated :wow:

Yall missing out on greatness :blessed:
