album sales so much?
do u need sales 2 tell u who 2 listen 2?
are u an artist hopper?
do u believe albums that sell a million w/ fillers, is better than an album well put(written and produced) w/ critical acclaim?

discuss.

It's because I'm scared.

To use as a way to brag or drag other peoples' faves

Because it's the best argument we all have when our fave is dragged by someone else.

thats not a good argument when da album is still shite sis's :/

Well if everyone on ATRL would stan for P!nk, they'd find that they could clock with numbers and critical acclaim.

That's hard to get. Not everybody has that

Because they´re stupid and dont have a critical mind therefore they need the receipts to base on and decide which one is good and bad.Artist´s recepts have nothing useful for my personal life but the stans wars. I only care about their music.

Because pop music as a genre SHOULD sell records. They budgets are usually high, the promo is large and they are intended to become household names. So essentially if they don't sell they are failures. And so is their music, something is not connecting with the GP where it needs to. They are not rock/indie acts where sales are secondary to touring and cult followings.

Simply said a "popstar" that doesn't sell is not actually a popstar. And will be without a record deal pretty quickly as they failed in their careers.

That´s the job of their labels and managers, we, the normal people can´t help anything.

Cause most them can't exactly brag about the quality of their fave's music.

Because I want my favs to do well? It doesn't always work out that way though.

Bragging is just a bonus.

They play a fundamental role in defining an artist's relevance
