Are these with streams? Nicki didn't outsell Kendrick?

Kendrick:
As of March 2015, the album had sold 1,400,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[3]

Up to date Carter 4 really sold more than Take Care? I know it did a mil first week but damn

C4 sales are the most confusing thing ever. Nobody fukks with that album. Same as MMLP I guess but Em at least has that white boy unconditional support.

edit: Oh this ain't up to date

Facts are when you the hottest rapper out at some point quality takes a back seat to being able to say "I have that album"

Fans are fickle

Nah it was alright in music in general
Nothing was the same, Yeezus, Vampire Weeknd, 1017 Thug, Arcade Fire - Reflektor, Daft Punk - Random Access Memories, Darkside - Darkside, Foxygen, Kurt Vile, Local Natives, Devendera Banhart, Chance the rapper, Beyonce, Disclosure and I could go on. This is if you like a diverse range of music.

2014 however was the weakest year in a long time.

Yeah there are some good albums in 2013 but there's not a lot that I go back to

Maybe Yeezus, Overgrown, Jon Hopkins - Immunity and that Sigur Ros joint

2014 was a lot better to me just off Black Messiah and Pinata
