Azealia Banks posts sales gains following Twitter feuds
Quote:
The ongoing feud between Azealia Banks and Angel Haze (which then morphed into a larger spat between Banks and Perez Hilton over the weekend) has sparked sales gains for Banks over the past week.
The New York rapper's "1991" EP re-enters Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart at No. 32, posting an 18% sales gain and selling just under 1,000 copies in the week ending Jan. 6, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Meanwhile, Banks' breakout single "212" moved 3,000 downloads last week -- up by 3%
Is "Heatseekers" the new name for "Bubbling Under?"
No shade. Just curious.
It's a special chart for artists who have their first album on the BB200 and after charting on the Heatseakers chart once I don't think you can chart anymore....
Obviously she will generate interest from a situation like this BUT she also has the danger that the GP will link her only to controversies and not to her music.
