Lil Nas X album set to be outsold by CLB's week 3 numbers

[tremonthustler1]

Well the amount of promotion these labels paying he should be selling a lot more. I don’t care about sales but these are the facts. His following don’t really care of his music. If he keeps this up he will be a fad.

Except you do care. You said in this thread already that even if he goes platinum it’s a flop because of his first week of which makes no sense. Without Ye and Drake, the best first week this year woulda came off of a redo of an album that dropped 10 years before. If your album has legs, you could do 40K in week 1 like Post Malone did with Stoney and still go triple plat.

All this week should show is that if the Coli thought Lil Nas X was the biggest name in music, unsurprisingly this site was wrong.

Going plat >>>> selling a lot in week 1 and then falling off a cliff.

After all the marketing and fake bots and cacs making him trend he only did 150k. And the fakkits on this site trying to say he did well?

It’s only one artist in the world that put up 50k first week and won’t sniff gold. Every other artist with that first week go gold or plat smh

now that’s pathetic

Using the logic in this thread, the way everyone’s been slurping King’s Disease II, you’d think he’d last longer than THREE WEEKS on the Billboard 200.


Being a lightning rod for discussion doesn’t necessarily lead to sales. Visibility alone doesn’t lead to the first week being insane. Only hip-hop fans place crazy importance on week 1. Meanwhile the top 20-30 mostly has albums that have crazy legs.

Difference is this.. Nas literally dropped that sh*t out of the blue with hardly no promo, no video, no singles nothing and did decent for somebody that came out in the mid 90s.

This faggit on the other hand been everywhere since he left Old Town Road . Time magazine covers, People Magazine covers, YouTube videos regularly do 120 million off his antics, Got monster press for kissing another nikkah on stage, monster press for dressing up like a prom bytch, Monster press from the VMAs, 10 Million followers on IG. Its a fukking flop

It did what did because that clown's music doesn't meet the standards.

Yeah that’s what people are missing. His label has already admitted to paying for bots to create viral moments on SM, aint no way in the hell they aint using streaming bots to inflate these numbers. And they are still average for someone with a huge cac following.

Ariana Grande only did 175k first week but ppl are saying Lil Nas X flopped cause he didn’t sell 200k?



I thought he’d do around what Doja did and his sales are much higher

1st weeks mean not much now. Im pretty sure this album will be in the top 200 for over 30 weeks minimum

1st week don’t mean much when people actually listening to your music. When you actually on the road selling out shows.

honestly who knows people that’s listening to this dude. Is he coming to your town headlining tours.

He was on the charts for 3 weeks. That's not decent if we're being objective. We're just happy Nas makes good music and that is more important than the sales to us, but if we're just talking how he sold, it barely did better than the first and for an album everyone loves, hip-hop sure has a funny ass way of supporting it (shyt, look at Griselda. We're fiending for a Conway album that's never gonna sell shyt. They know that and that's why they get frustrated with their fans). Look, I don't care. I listen to plenty of artists who don't sell shyt. It doesn't affect me at all as long as the music is good, but I'm also not gonna objectively pretend being on the charts for only 3 weeks is a victory. We just set a really low bar for Nas because Nas couldn't possibly do anything to disappoint some of y'all. He worked with LIL NAS X and y'all were like " I guess he's earned the right."

for whatever reason you think that makes him the biggest star around. There are bigger stars than him who do a fraction of what he does for attention, but because we for whatever reason find Lil Nas X inescapable we think he's Lady Gaga status. The best way to tell how big you really are now is how much legs your album has. The first week obviously helps, but even those huge numbers are fewer and farther in between. If your album has legs, that's how you know. Just look at the Billboard 200 now.

Can’t even believe 150k listen to this fukking garbage

Lil Faggit X don't care about album sales, music is secondary to him. He gon eat just because he sucks dikk

Based on how much I’ve seen and heard from him, I figured he’d do Carter 3 numbers first week

There’s No WAY any reasonable person thought this. Lil Wayne doing a millie first week was a phenomenon built up through YEARS of him grinding, putting out hot music, and getting the right push at the right time. I’m not a Lil Wayne fan in the slightest nor do I even really like Carter 3 but Wayne was UNDENIABLE in 2008.


Lil Nas X in no shape, form, or fashion is, in 2021, UNDENIABLE. And that is for many many reasons. He’s popular yes, and in 2021 150K first week is exactly what “popular” gets you. But besides the hype centered on the CONTROVERSY he creates. Name me ONE thing about Nas X that makes him stand out in 2021? He was actually more organically viable as an artist back in 2019 when Old Town Road popped and he put out that 7 EP.


Lets keep it all the way real, with NO hate whatsoever intended to Lil Nas X. He would have sold more and had more of a chance of being UNDENIABLE as an artist if he hadn’t went the route of extreme controversy. Its EASY to be controversial. It is not EASY to be a genuinely engaging artist. You want to live your truth as a homosexual male? There’s no problem with that. Be who you are. But if you want to be a CROSSOVER pop star you’ve got appeal to a wide demographic.

Straight, Gay, Black, White, whatever. Old Town Road is an appealing song. My young daughter LOVES that song. Its fun to sing along to and the music video is funny.


Now ask yourselves, who REALLY fukks with songs where the video imagery is getting smashed by Satan? Ok that might fly as “pushing the envelope forward” type of statement. If Nas can get pinned to the cross in Hate Me Now. If Childish Gambino can shoot a black church congregation with an AK in This Is America. Then how can we begrudge Lil Nas X doing his thing? Ok fair enough.

But then your SECOND song/video portrays men in prison engaging in activity that has historically been juxtaposed with the RAPE of men. Forcefully emasculating them in captivity. If your goal as a “crossover” artist is to get as many people as possible to be fans of yours well then you just alienated any and every straight male who isn’t down with a visualization that implies the celebration of male rape.


When Lil Wayne dropped The Carter 3. People fukked with Wayne’s image, his persona, and most improbable his MUSIC. Nobody is really talking about Lil Nas X’s MUSIC. Just his image and persona. Frank Ocean can drop right now and do no less than 250k first week, and he’s been outwardly Gay for a decade. But Frank Ocean’s brand is focused on his MUSIC. Which is why he’ll be around for a long time. Lil Nas X is setting himself up to be a flash in the pan artist
