No, I suppose not, but it's still not fabricated.

HipHopDX isn't a part of Nielsen, but Nielsen lets certain sites reveal sales information weekly.
Like this website for Country music gets to post the top-selling Country albums weekly:

Bringing up Bionic is actually a great way to defend ANTI. Album sales have halved since then, and this is a digital-only release with a million copies given away for free. It's doing so much better than Legend X her timeless work of art.

That Worldstar comment was so distasteful. As if a Urban media site can't be credible. This is that **** I talk about.

To be fair Worldstar IS a site that people know of because they host videos of fights.

But HipHopDX isn't a site that posts videos of fights, so why was it compared to WorldStar?
Because people think a black site / Urban culture & media site = ratchet, low budget, and unreliable source.
Was the point Willy was trying to make.

If only certain people in the HDD thread would understand this. The thread would have less than half of  responses it currently has.

Bionic's performance was a legit bomb. How did the album not even cross 500k in 2010?
And this avi omg

Soundscan is OBVIOUSLY out to get Rihanna, just like HDD – they're just fuming and PRESSED! Those numbers are FAKE!

I had no idea a HipHopDx existed and I'm pretty sure most other members didn't as well before 460. The Worldstar comment obviously meant that they might be irresponsible and an invalid source (since I was ignorant of their existence). There are urban publications that are trusted and legit like Complex and Vibe, and I guess HipHopDx is one as well.

He compared it solely by the name, which is dumb, but considering he didn't know what the site was I doubt that was his intention.

The 460 figure has been reported by multiple people with Soundscan access, there's no reason to question its validity. Nor is there a need to since it's not an inexplicable or embarrassing figure. Well, maybe for Tidal.

Charlie Puths reception is proof that just because you can sing, it doesn't mean you should make music
