The fact that Good Kid and Take Care are still top 10 is crazy
Those are classic albums that people still streams daily.
I get it, but you'd think something would push them outside the top 10 at least. But like you said, them shyts are classics for a reason.
Why would people not buy Take Care
more surprised by Curtain Call, I know em is em but that album came out when I was 5
Metal Face
Superstar
FATD still selling 
It’s based on everything. The ways people consume music by paying for it.
Albums like Take Care likely have many songs in people’s go to playlists.
I guess GKMC too, but more likely Kendrick is gaining new fans too
Maybe because you should have bought it 14 years ago
This is based on cassettes
Gkmc is the longuest charting rap album ever, it sells every year like crazy even when kendrick is silent. Was also the Best selling rap album on vinyl pretty much every year
It was the best rap album of last decade and I guess many magazines might’ve even ranked it top 3 in all genres. So it makes sense.
But I was assuming new fans too. Cause was it really that high before the beefs? Being top 200 is one thing, being top like 20-30 is another
Yeah its been high all the time, it also sold more the previous years than in 2024, which kinda proves the beef really didn't impact Kendrick's sales at all. And gkmc being the best rap album on vinyl was before the beef as well
Billboard also named DAMN the 2nd biggest rap album of the century in terms of chart performances, most of the sales coming from before the beef
