Record Sales are so fukked, no idea how to even count them anymore (travis album)

[Fanservice]

What does travis’ merch even look like? The guy has no personality, no quotables outside of his signature adlibs and he doesn’t stand for anything afaik.

The nikka might as well be ai. He’s like a black version of Hatsune Miku

whenever 50 used it as a means of attack

I’ve never met anyone who even plays Travis stuff. And I lived in Houston for a hot second

Only people I heard bumping Travis Scott are Mexicans and Asians.

 

[Knucklehead]

Travis Scott can sell out any stadium in the world almost immediately. He can and does headline every major festival.
Your circle may not listen to him but he’s wildly popular.

90K by the clipse with no shenanigans is actually very good

considering their first album came 20 years ago and haven't released an album since 2009, that's very good for real

shyt, Lizzo was one of the biggest (don't een) artists of the last few years and just sold 7,000 first week

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

Makes you wonder how the biggest artists would sell if they played these merchandise and physicals games to pad the numbers

Drake and Kendrick don't do the merch games.

I think DAMN is the only album between them that was re-released.

First Week Billboard 200 Projections for Clipse, Justin Bieber and Travis Scott Are Here

All artists are aiming for high debuts on next week's chart.

So biebers gonna have the biggest streamed week of year outside of the Drake/ party project but move 155K ?


jackboys is gonna count 253k. 188 from merch sales? wtf is going on today...all these numbers are fugazi its wild

Travis the bundle king

Are you upset that ran fans wanna listen to Trav?

 

[TL15]

I’ve seen 100x the Travis shoes than I have heard his music out

And who cares about sales as consumers. If you enjoy it, it shouldn’t matter what it sells.

50 Cent's run in hip-hop.

 

[beenz]

They've been fake. It didn't start now

yup, this dates back to the physical media era when record labels were buying TONS of albums to boost artist to #1.

90K by the clipse with no shenanigans is actually very good

they self released this album, so they are gonna see all the bread as well.

You don’t know any 15-25 year old white kids do you? That’s the majority of his fanbase

The other half are suburban hype beast nikkas that have money to buy all the merch/sneakers he puts out.

The music is just a vehicle for Trav’s brand deals to sell sneakers/merch/product placements at this point but he’s built a sizeable catalogue of certified hits/bangers over the past decade

A lot of you nikkas are truly out of touch and not really hip hop fans.
