Sam will make something loud and unappealing in an attempt to evolve. Like fave, like stan.

You mean like dance music? His only listenable songs are his upbeat electro tracks with Disclosure.

Omen flopping while turds like Stay With Me and I'm Not the Only One became smashes just demonstrates how crappy the public's taste is.

Wow you're right, I didn't know her boost was so weak.

2016: Taylor Swift - 1989 (31,000)
2015: Beck - Morning Phase (11,000)
2014: Daft Punk - Random Access Memories (29,000)
2013: Mumford & Sons - Babel (185,000)
2012: Adele - 21 (730,000)
2011: Arcade Fire - The Suburbs (41,000)
2010: Taylor Swift - Fearless (53,000)

All the AOTY sales following the win have been atrocious this decade except for Babel & 21, which were both Top 5 in sales still before winning.

Since LEMONADE would be done in sales like all the other winners by the time it won, if it did win, it'd have like a 20K~ boost probs.

2012: Adele - 21 (730,000)

They're in two different stages of their respective careers?

Zzzrake is peaking while Godoncé is almost 20 years in her courier, etc

Of course God's sales are more impressive

Award Show boosts are done.

Beyonce performed the whole self-titled at VMA's, and it sold like 10K more. Her Superbowl boosts were like 5K.

GRAMMYs boosts are like barely 50K now. (Adele being the anomaly because 21 was already selling ungodly amounts)

And ofcourse AMAs, BET Awards, etc aren't shifting albums.

Do you go to school for all of this? lol.

Entertainment in general just feels so dead. No one ever seems to care about mega hyped albums a week after they're out, no one wants to watch award shows, people only want to see movies made by the same 2 or 3 production companies, TV is falling off the map, music videos are becoming irrelevant, and even YouTubers seem to be losing all of their steam with how all the big popular ones that have 15M+ subscribers struggling for more than 3M views on their videos.

It's like all anyone wants to do is listen to their same old Spotify playlists in between their unnecessarily long Snapchat and Instagram viewing sessions.

Her sales aren't bad at all, especially compared to her peers. It's just her fans are hyping her sales as more than they are.

They drag everyone else's album sales, and always put her next to Taylor & Adele.

It's memory most of the time, and there was specifically a thread for GRAMMYs boosts that I went to and got the info from.

People are being completely hypocritical when coming for Drake's sales and complimenting Beyonce's.

In US, how is Lemonade selling 1.228M to date and doing 25K~ a week now good, but Drake doing 1.313M to date and doing 15K~ weekly bad.

When Beyonce hits 1.3M she will literally also be selling 15K~ a week. She's selling at the same rate.

WW, she's at 2M and Views is at 1.9M despite her literally having global hits for 15+ years and a world tour while Hotline Bling last year became Drake's first global hit.

There's also the fact her last album did 2.3M in US, and this one will be stopping around 1.5M. Self-titled also passed 4M WW, and this one seems like it'll basically be done selling at 2.5M WW.

Didn't know any of that you make Lemonade sound like a total flop!

Sales are over, iHype



I realized that the minute Rebel Heart didn't outsell 21

[Lord Blackout]

I heard that many countries don't separate streaming from pure sales so Mediatraffic figures are no longer pure sales. Is this true?

[iHype.]

@Gaybert I have been getting into Madonna.

Her sings I like:
- Living for Love
- Rain
- Die Another Day
- Hung Up
- 4 Minutes
- Live to Tell
- Frozen
- Ray of Light
- Deeper and Deeper
- American Pie (Music Video Remix)
- Give Me All Your Luvin

It's true. In the Netherlands for example we don't have a pure sales chart anymore.

As rhennafan kept pointing out iHype is still young. The more he is maturing and more grades he finishes the closer he is to ditching Beyst. Education is the biggest enemy of any propaganda.

You'd think music video quality would increase due to how vital they are for Hot 100 points, but nope.
There's only been like 2 or 3 stand out MV's this year.

Interesting, I've been suspicious about this for a long time. Thanks
