No way in hell Tory only did 37K :dead:

Literally everyone was listening to it this week even people who never listened to his music before. I don't know if his soundcloud and YouTube audio is counted in all that or not but you're tellin me that this did lower numbers than a normal project?

I mean regardless we know that Apple and Spotify were trying to hide that it was out. They didn't put it on the front page or in any playlists.

And finally, Tory's video did 10 million views! on YT in 24 hours.

Meg's new video did 3.8 million views in 24 hours.

Something isn't adding up but watch when Meg album come out Roc Nation will try to push it as 100k+ first week :russ:

The industry is all the way fake and numbers are cooked. Congrats to Tory the independent artist. All that matters is every penny is going into his pockets. :salute:

Lyor Cohen the head of 300(which is one of the labels Meg is signed too) is also the head of YouTube music. :francis:

Some people brought up how after watching the video the views don’t jump :francis:

Meg's video doing half the numbers Tory's did but somehow she been number 1 trending for a day and Tory never hit number 1. These majors are scrambling right now.

this doesn't make sense. Dude literally did MILLIONS in sound cloud hits alone!
It's the playlists, the visibility on the dsps (the fact he's not on new releases lists, the fact you have to go out of your way to find his album).


I think this is actually a very interesting case study for rappers who want to go independent. The data might be skewed because of the controversy but it goves an idea of what type of numbers to expect with no promo, no connecys to dsps, etc.

I honestly don't know of it's a good or a bad number for him because we dont know his budget or what they were projecting onternally based on their own analytics

Here's the thing, though. Streams are pretty high it seems. He has a vid on youtube at 12M (which if monetized is probably a good amount). Other songs that hit 1M on youtube alone...I'm sure they wanted more sales for the look, but at the same time, I'm sure they are eating. Plus we don't know who produced what. For all we know, it's all in-house production...

Still an interesting story overall...
