Why are people saying this is unprofessional? Billboard's subject is music sales, good or bad. It's not like it's a secret that all those albums were massive failures, the label knows, the artist knows, the public knows...
I thought Billboard was above this. This is a disgrace and honestly bullying artists. Unfollowing them everywhere, they are no professional publication in my eyes. I'm done.

If everyone knows there is no point in bringing it back up again. It's just petty. I would rather see publications with media power try to offer a helping hand and lift some of these artists back up to grace by showing positive support rather than kicking artists while they are down. Sadly Billboard has become biased and subjective, and clearly certain people have bought their way in.
