Do you really realize how hard it is to craft top 10 hit singles?

Even stargate can't do that every time out.
He makes great music though, I'm not a stan or nothing but I feel his music is good enough to go top 10 if not top 40 or 20 but he rarely makes it that high.

Look at how much Atlantic puts behind him, or any of their artists as of recent....they do the bare minimum.
Good point but I always see Post Malone do numbers and he is signed there. They not fully behind him like they are Post Malone, i mean they even do tricks just to get Post Malone hit singles by cheating.

This. Reading thorough this thread, @Guvnor is being unrealistic by judging Ty Dolla $ign success by his lack of top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits.

The top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 are the biggest hits in the country. No one looks at Ty Dolla $ign at being potential Popstar, but they do look at him as potential R&B star. So Ty Dolla $ign should be judged by his hits on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart instead.

I hear you and that's fair but even lessening the criteria I still feel he should have more success. You don't think so?

Yeah, I agree with you. The amount of YouTube views for the music videos off his current "Beach House 3" album are anemic AF. I don't think any of the singles from BH3 have ever charted on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart (or even the R&B songs chart). I don't understand his lack of success.

EDIT:

I just checked
Yeah man, makes no sense cause he is super talented. If he was a white artist I bet he would be more successful.

never was pushed or presented as a star*
But all the Stars know he is talented and go to him for hooks. He got a lot of features with big names.

I feel like all of his songs have that “dj mustard” sound which has been done to death. He needs to vary his sound out more.

My bigger question is why didn’t he drop an r&b classic album, even if he has the potential to do it

Horses In The Stable is one of the best r&b tracks of the decade. The first half of Free TC is flawless. Still something is missing
