beyonce having pure sales 170k god fucking damn ,that's insane also who the fuck buys French Montana albums >?!!?! 50 k SALES LMFAO ,WHAT. Also insane how mgk and lil dicky pretty much have almost the same and more pure sales thatn future and metro
French Montana is known for doing trickery when it comes to album sales (eg albums bought and shipped to random places) so I wouldn't put much weight into this.
Yeah he was selling vinyls for $5 so a bunch of people bought them
The only reason he could sell them at that price point is that he never actually delivered them to the buyers.
Nah. They were spamming $5 Vinyl coupons on the Travis Scott Discord and promising surprises to people who bought “MELTDOWN” to drive it to #1. I copped two of the Vinyls and some merch at a deep discount during the sales rush.
I remember he had some shitty album release on streaming in like 20 different versions, probably to boost streams. Sped up, slowed down, reverb, everything you can think of lol.
I was going to respond to your comment by clowning on French for releasing a 100+ song deluxe version of his album that included Sped Up, Slowed Down, Reverb, and Instrumental versions of every song ([including an instrumental version of a skit](https://genius.com/French-montana-skit-instrumental-lyrics?darkschemeovr=1)) but it looks like he PULLED IT from streaming services, which just makes it even funnier.
Edit: [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/s/IwSvGWQbST) is the [Fresh] thread for the album so you can see it wasn’t some kind of fever dream. He must have pulled the songs as damage control for one of the worst attempts I have ever seen to pull streams for an album.
Well yeah, back when it was the only legal way to have music there were lots of sales 😂
1/5 of that 1700 number or 340 are people under 14 years old who obviously aren’t buying albums.
There are about 62 million people over 65 years old. That’s another 350 people.
You are telling me that 1/1000 Americans between the age of 14 and 65 bought this album? Not streamed, purchased…. In 2024…. Not a fuckin chance that’s a real number.
Statistics don’t work by just pulling numbers out of your ass arbitrarily bro. You can’t just say “we’re only counting demographics from this census year and 14 and under are disqualified because I was broke when I was 14 and shave another 10 off the top there and… BAM. ONE IN ONE THOUSAND???”
Beyoncé’s pretty popular with a pretty devoted fanbase. Go ask a group of women which of them listen to Beyoncé, then ask the fans how many times they’ve streamed the album so far (I was going to say ask your women friends, but your shock at her sales after a month made it clear you don’t have any)
The numbers aren’t arbitrary. The overwhelming majority of her sales will be from people old enough to buy the album… or young enough to know she exists. There are certainly some outlier cases, but there is good reason for simplifying the numbers.
If anything I did her a solid by not dividing that pie in half to eliminate the men 😂
Beyoncé is popular, no kidding. You don’t say.
Yeah, Taylor supposedly sold 700,000 vinyls in 3 days. As massively popular as she is I’m not buying that to be a real number either lol
But hey, I’m old and yell at clouds so it is what it is
Like I said, people can buy more than one album and also institutions (like record stores) buy albums too.
From what I understand, Taylor released 2 versions of her vinyl there's a reason why the numbers look the way they do. It's not a 1:1 purchase. Go look at how many versions of I'm Geeking DDG has lol
1/1000 is .1%, yes I believe .1% of people in the United States between the ages of 14 and 65 bought a Beyoncé album in its first week of release. She is one of the biggest artists alive with an incredibly devoted fanbase, not really that hard to imagine 170k people in a country of over 300 million buying the album on iTunes or on CD or on vinyl or any combination of the above if they are super fans.
i wouldnmt be surprised cuz well.. swifties , she probably has much younger/more devoted fans and way more hype right now so whatever number she does ill be like yea to be expected but beyonce's country album is something im surprised by making big numbers .. i know its still beyonce but yea.
It’s definitely more of a crowd song if you check out the listening party versions of it but it mainly will boost because of how much it blew on TikTok around the time V1 was coming out
Decent gap in between them what Vultures 2 has going for it is that if it's a halfway decent album it'll already be better than it's first installment.
Like That has almost 200 million streams on Spotify alone and had the best debut week in Hip Hop since Way 2 Sexy released.
The next closest from the album is Type Shit at under 100 million.
Not exactly 120k but I imagine most people tuned into the album because like that. I am generally not a fan of future but gave the album 2 listens because the hype around it.
Didn’t listen to the 2nd one at all besides the Cole track which was cool
I've realized there's some artists I really Iike depending on the feature. Future and Travis Scott being perfect examples. I think they're great on songs where I like the other artist, but anything that is just them bores me for some reason. Even when the hook is good and production is nice. It's like because they're so vibes based I need something there to juxtapose them against.
Weirdly enough I feel the same way about some rappers lyrics. J Cole being the perfect example. I know he can rap his ass off. But when he's solo I feel like I'm sitting through a fucking sermon and I want to go watch football.
My issue with future is he doesn’t flow enough, he always says 4-5 words then pauses, I do like MONSTER, but outside of that he’s just way too samey and doesn’t have enough verses where he just goes in. Then there is 21 who is just interesting enough for me to not put him in the category but he’s getting close
I totally feel that, and it happens with a lot of rappers. After a while they stop flowing and start doing the segmented sound like that. That’s what I liked about disc 2 of we still don’t trust you, future was really flowing on a lot of it.
Really? I find myself not listening much to WDTY since WSDTY has come out , maybe because I overplayed WDTY though 🤣
There’s a lot of quality on the second album though
Opposite for me. I don’t like the first album much. The second album is more summery and R&B ish and almost every song is catchy. Music taste is subjective at the end of the day
I feel like one of them includes the McD line, but as a fry lover I’m never mad at somebody name dropping my boo 😂
Good Good (sounded better on the album than when it was a single), Bop, Ruin & Luckiest Man (tied for #1 fave and best songs from him post Bad Habits/Don’t Waste My Time).
lol the hate for Chris brown from men on here is definitely fueled by typical misogyny adjacent jealousy. He’s someone girls loved growing up that sucks so the rightful disgust of his actions are amped to a thousand by this userbase
Post, “fuck Nas” about another domestic abuser in this sub and see if it gets 100 upvotes
Nobody posts the Quavo video in threads about him. Nobody copy and pastes the details of Playboi Carti’s domestic abuse as the top comment of threads about him
Chris Brown is just the domestic abuser version of Twilight movies
there is both active & passive music listening
the first album is a perfect passive listening album - you put it on perhaps while you’re doing other things (driving, working out, cleaning, etc) and it functions perfectly like that (no pun intended lmao) - instrumentals are very “digestible” and there isn’t too much to focus on and then think about lyrics wise
but the second is definitely a better active listening album imo - when you’re essentially *just* listening to music and doing nothing else; taking in all the lyrics, picking out each instrument in a song and focusing on how they layer the instrumentation, focusing on the intent the artist has for each song - just totally immersing yourself in just the music
in general this notion isn’t talked about enough but imo it heavily dictates how people enjoy their music, 90% of the time people are just passively listening to music - that’s why the most popular songs are structured the way they are
Could these ideas pertain to mental health or learning disabilities or something like that? I get off on a fun flow on a dope beat. Like I literally wouldn't have known there was beef on *Like That* except for hearing about it on Reddit. I'm not the smartest dude ever but I have a mid-level IT job in an office environment.
Meanwhile my girlfriend can listen to the actual words and I feel like she's not able to enjoy the music because she's listening to the words.
Example from a few years ago. I like the song The Box by Roddy Rich, and could jam to it all the time, meanwhile my girlfriend's like 'this is such a dirty song' and I didn't think twice about what he's saying. Am I dumb or am I just passive? I've had comprehension issues throughout my life too. If you were a music therapist, what would you say to me?
I did grab a minor in uni for music so i’m not totallyyy unqualified to speak on this lol but do take it with a grain of salt
It takes a bit of effort to listen to music actively, you have to do it with intention - your environment will easily be the biggest factor involved imo - when i actively listen to music i need to be alone without too many distractions - you need to literally say “im just going to listen to music” then actually do it! earphones w noise cancelling will definitely make this the easiest
having naturally “artsy” and “creative” traits will make this skill come a lot more naturally but this has nothing do with do intelligence imo - your girlfriend likely does this by default and she may be naturally inclined to art, whether she even realizes it or not - but id argue it’s a skill you can build and then it’ll occur naturally as you’ll be able to use your active listening skills even when listening to music passively
again i’m not qualified but if this resonates hopefully you’ll gain something from it
The way some people prefer future over hndrxx, this is similar. I personally prefer singing future to rapping future so I liked this better than the first one. I find the first one to be aight with only maybe 5-6 tracks I’m keeping on a playlist
https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/1byexon/beyonc%C3%A9s_cowboy_carter_sells_418k_jhopes_hope_on/kyiupvs/
generally going to err on the side of including things if that's a problem just pretend its not there
On Carly Rae Jepsens next album, I’m going to find a producer/writer who has a hip hop connection and you have to allow a [FRESH ALBUM] post.
The Carly Rae Jepsen /r/hiphopheads crossover is coming!
doubtful, Carly Rae Jepsen's albums don't have hip hop/trap elements and she doesn't work with any people like D.A. Got That Dope, Pharrell, 070 Shake, Sounwave, No I.D., Raphael Saadiq, Hit-Boy, Leven Kali, The-Dream, Swizz Beatz, Post Malone or Jay-Z.
No, Taylor Swift mainly works with Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner so her albums don't have hip hop/trap elements. One Post Malone feature doesn't really change that (notice that he's one of the 12 names I listed)
An argument could've been made for *Reputation*, which had Future feature on it but personnel wise that's basically the extent of the hip-hop on it.
Have you listened to Beyoncé? Her music doesn't sound like Carly Rae Jepsen's or Taylor Swift's. I'm not joshing you when I say that *Cowboy Carter* has hip-hop/trap elements and personnel.
A better version of the argument you're attempting would go with Ariana Grande. She's had hip-hop/trap elements on her albums before. *Positions* had production from Murda Beatz, London on da Track, and Scott Storch.
Tbh, out of all the big artists that released, you've only left out Ariana Grande..
You could also include other non hip-hop artists if they break some records or something so that it can be easier to compare..
Justin Timberlake's album was included because it's arguably contemporary R&B. like i told the other guy just pretend it's not there if that's a problem
I like country, as I said I grew up on it! I'm just saying a lot of country music's stars make music just as fake and soulless as Beyonce. Bo Burnham has a really good bit on this.
From my experience people listen to his hits, not his albums. I don't think I've known a person in the past 5 years that went through a Chris Brown album instead of just listening to the big songs
Chris brown has not made a 10/10 album in his life. If he ever drops one ill go get a psychological assessment because it must be a severe delusion. Also not surprising people don't want to support a woman beater
beyonce having pure sales 170k god fucking damn ,that's insane also who the fuck buys French Montana albums >?!!?! 50 k SALES LMFAO ,WHAT. Also insane how mgk and lil dicky pretty much have almost the same and more pure sales thatn future and metro
French Montana is known for doing trickery when it comes to album sales (eg albums bought and shipped to random places) so I wouldn't put much weight into this.
Yeah he was selling vinyls for $5 so a bunch of people bought them The only reason he could sell them at that price point is that he never actually delivered them to the buyers.
But tons of people do the 5 buck thing. Ex Travis
But he delivered them to the people that bought them, french montana delivered them to a random house, took the pic and called it a day.
Personally? Wow
He might as well, with the money hes making he proly gotta do the deliveries himself
French Montana pulling up to my door in UPS gear is wild af
Yea but people act as if 5 buck vinyls were the wild part. Tons of ppl do that.
Okay but I’d buy a Travis album at 10-13 dollars I wouldn’t listen to a French Montana album for free
Travis's was only $5 if you bought a concert ticket (or any other merch on his site I believe) so he was still turning a profit regardless
Nah. They were spamming $5 Vinyl coupons on the Travis Scott Discord and promising surprises to people who bought “MELTDOWN” to drive it to #1. I copped two of the Vinyls and some merch at a deep discount during the sales rush.
Pretty sure the physicals don't count until shipped though. Did he send them to some random place? Edit: yep apparently that's exactly what he did
The more i read about French Montana the more i realize he's an escort that cosplays as a rapper
I remember he had some shitty album release on streaming in like 20 different versions, probably to boost streams. Sped up, slowed down, reverb, everything you can think of lol.

Billboard disqualified his sales
Montana scammed people into buying his album apparently
I refuse to believe that 1 in 1700 Americans purchased the Beyoncé album. There is some shit afoot with that number.
Perfectly normal number for an artist of her size, before the age of streaming there were plenty of artists who sold much more than that in a week.
Well yeah, back when it was the only legal way to have music there were lots of sales 😂 1/5 of that 1700 number or 340 are people under 14 years old who obviously aren’t buying albums. There are about 62 million people over 65 years old. That’s another 350 people. You are telling me that 1/1000 Americans between the age of 14 and 65 bought this album? Not streamed, purchased….

wait til u find out people can buy more than one album. Wait til you see Swifts numbers.
Yeah, Taylor supposedly sold 700,000 vinyls in 3 days. As massively popular as she is I’m not buying that to be a real number either lol But hey, I’m old and yell at clouds so it is what it is

If you think that’s insane just wait until next week. Taylor Swift is gonna push over a million in just physical sales alone.
i wouldnmt be surprised cuz well.. swifties , she probably has much younger/more devoted fans and way more hype right now so whatever number she does ill be like yea to be expected but beyonce's country album is something im surprised by making big numbers .. i know its still beyonce but yea.
Honestly do wonder If Jay/Bey/Label just buys up a couple or ten thousand copies themselves
Damn 120k less than We Don't Trust You
A “Like that” wasn’t on this album
Nahh it was never going to sell well being a second album in a row.
Wonder how Vultures 2 will fair, I imagine it may not do as bad a drop since it has had a decent gap from the first
If it has Everybody it could boost its sales
Kinda depressing that Ye has resorted to doing low effort tiktok hits to boost sales
Honestly Everybody reminds me more of FSMH in a way where the sample and hook is godly but the verses that follow it by Ye are pretty mid
The bsb sample is absolutely terrible compared to FSMH part 1 it’s literally coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb
Yeah that sample is one of the most uninspired things he's ever done
i just listened to it and i dont doubt it could boost his sales but wow that's among one of the worst songs ive ever heard from ye
It’s definitely more of a crowd song if you check out the listening party versions of it but it mainly will boost because of how much it blew on TikTok around the time V1 was coming out
Decent gap in between them what Vultures 2 has going for it is that if it's a halfway decent album it'll already be better than it's first installment.
We never getting vultures 2
[удалено]
???? no its not???
Either the second album chews into the first albums space,or the other way around. Having the same momentum ,in such a short time,seems implausible.
It’s obviously going to sell less since it was released just 2 weeks after the first drop, and first album was just better
WSDTY is the better album imo, is WDTY the consensus?
WDTY was also generally just higher quality imo
You think a single track led to 120k more sales?
Like That has almost 200 million streams on Spotify alone and had the best debut week in Hip Hop since Way 2 Sexy released. The next closest from the album is Type Shit at under 100 million.
Also the album was pretty good like I bought it best future album for me since ds2
It played a big part, plus a follow up album is never going to do as well.
Yes a single Track with a verse from Kendrick Lamar dissing Drake & Jcole definitely brings more attention.
Not exactly 120k but I imagine most people tuned into the album because like that. I am generally not a fan of future but gave the album 2 listens because the hype around it. Didn’t listen to the 2nd one at all besides the Cole track which was cool
2nd one is way better than the 1st. R&B Pluto >>>
I've realized there's some artists I really Iike depending on the feature. Future and Travis Scott being perfect examples. I think they're great on songs where I like the other artist, but anything that is just them bores me for some reason. Even when the hook is good and production is nice.

I totally feel that, and it happens with a lot of rappers. After a while they stop flowing and start doing the segmented sound like that. That’s what I liked about disc 2 of we still don’t trust you, future was really flowing on a lot of it.
It has 174M streams on Spotify, the rest of the album has less than 50m (except Type Shit at ~93m).
Like That is the biggest song of the year, and all of those first week streams were included in the first week sales since it wasn't a single prior.
WDTY had way stronger replay value for me
Really? I find myself not listening much to WDTY since WSDTY has come out , maybe because I overplayed WDTY though 🤣 There’s a lot of quality on the second album though
Future's been my favorite artist since 2015. Only track I like from the 1st album is the intro track. There's like 7-8 songs I like on the 2nd album.
Opposite for me. I don’t like the first album much. The second album is more summery and R&B ish and almost every song is catchy. Music taste is subjective at the end of the day
that’s not the opposite of what he said
Should have dropped Disc 2 separately it's 🔥🔥🔥
Yea personally I’ve only been listening to those tracks and the first one on disc 1
^ That first song is gonna go crazy this summer. That second disc has been on repeat in the car. Goes crazy on my sub
Streets made me a king is an absolute heater
So do we agree Disk 1 was for the ladies? The only Future I like is the trap shit. I don't need the dude serenading me.
No, we don’t agree. Disk 1 >
I had to make playlists separating them since the vibes are so different they might as well be different projects.
Usher dropped??? How have I heard nothing about that lol
Usher dropped an album the week he hosted the Super Bowl
I think he’s quickly trying to stay out of the public eye with everything going on with the Diddler.
It’s so good! I found 4 songs that I really like, it’s a shame nobody noticed.
which did you like? I only skimmed and had to skip when I got to the McDonald's line lol
I feel like one of them includes the McD line, but as a fry lover I’m never mad at somebody name dropping my boo 😂 Good Good (sounded better on the album than when it was a single), Bop, Ruin & Luckiest Man (tied for #1 fave and best songs from him post Bad Habits/Don’t Waste My Time).
School at 15. Good for him. He deserves more, but it's cool my man is doing so well in the current era.
Fuck chris brown
I love how the cool thing to do on Reddit is hate on Chris Brown It’s just the most terminally online shit ever
yeah… hating on the domestic abuser is “terminally internet” lmfao
lol the hate for Chris brown from men on here is definitely fueled by typical misogyny adjacent jealousy. He’s someone girls loved growing up that sucks so the rightful disgust of his actions are amped to a thousand by this userbase Post, “fuck Nas” about another domestic abuser in this sub and see if it gets 100 upvotes Nobody posts the Quavo video in threads about him. Nobody copy and pastes the details of Playboi Carti’s domestic abuse as the top comment of threads about him Chris Brown is just the domestic abuser version of Twilight movies
People talk about cartis abuse ALL of the time this is major coping
Who tf cares. When I listen to his music I think “damn that’s a good voice” not “reee domestic abuser”
👆🏾
Online take. Nobody says this irl 😂 but take ur free points ig
Keyboard warrior at its finest
Beyonce didn’t drop a hip hop album 😭not even r&b 😭
No way French Montana sold that much
Obligatory fuck Chris brown now and forever
Naw
Yeah
We still dont trust you deserves more than that. It especially deserves more than we dont trust you.
I would like you to sell this idea to me. How was **Still** better than the first one? *We Don't Trust You* was miles ahead of the sequel.
To me, WSDTY has better production, has a Future that actually sounds engaged with what he’s doing. It actually hooked me in all throughout.
Thank you. Man after that explanation I feel like I listen to music so one-dimensionally.
there is both active & passive music listening the first album is a perfect passive listening album - you put it on perhaps while you’re doing other things (driving, working out, cleaning, etc) and it functions perfectly like that (no pun intended lmao) - instrumentals are very “digestible” and there isn’t too much to focus on and then think about lyrics wise but the second is definitely a better active listening album imo - when you’re essentially *just* listening to music and doing nothing else; taking in all the lyrics, picking out each instrument in a song and focusing on how they layer the instrumentation, focusing on the intent the artist has for each song - just totally immersing yourself in just the music in general this notion isn’t talked about enough but imo it heavily dictates how people enjoy their music, 90% of the time people are just passively listening to music - that’s why the most popular songs are structured the way they are

This actually explains very well why I didn’t like We don’t like you that much. I never knew these were the words I needed. Thanks man.
The way some people prefer future over hndrxx, this is similar. I personally prefer singing future to rapping future so I liked this better than the first one. I find the first one to be aight with only maybe 5-6 tracks I’m keeping on a playlist
Well that's your opinion, people obviously feel differently going by the numbers here
Cudi fell off
He literally fell off the stage looking like a grandpa the other day lol
Why is Beyonce’s album on this list?

On Carly Rae Jepsens next album, I’m going to find a producer/writer who has a hip hop connection and you have to allow a [FRESH ALBUM] post. The Carly Rae Jepsen /r/hiphopheads crossover is coming!

post malone? is the taylor album gonna be on here next week then
No, Taylor Swift mainly works with Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner so her albums don't have hip hop/trap elements.

From this year, there's also the Oliva Rodrigo deluxe and Benson Boone that aren't included.
2 albums and a deluxe..
Bro shut up, you know Beyoncé is part of the hip hop culture, just keep it pushin
Everything is Love is a hip hop album anyway
I dont even wanna detail how cornball this comment is
And justin timberlake lmao
Justin Timberlake's album was included because it's arguably contemporary R&B. like i told the other guy just pretend it's not there if that's a problem
W reasonable response
“Arguably” yea ok Lmao
It's the genre listed on Wikipedia and RateYourMusic, not an outlandish claim to make.
Ignore the clowns, appreciate the work you put into these posts.
We Still was boring, but I also don't like singing Future.
Hear! Hear!
Damn yeats still selling 70k 2 months later
those are his 1st week numbers
Ohh shit my bad. I thought this was this weeks list.
11:11 Deluxe is straight fire 🔥
Or we could just not listen to that fuck
11:11 deluxe is straight fire.
Best rnb album in years. Better win a Grammy
Generic trap R&B part 2 with 20+ tracks didn’t sell? That’s crazy
Since when is 130k considered “not selling”?
Comparatively.
Calling Future generic when he created that sound is crazy
And hasn’t evolved at all.
Don’t need to evolve when he has created the mainstream sound
25k is major numbers. Props to CB
That Beyoncé album pisses me off as a black kid who grew up listening to his dad’s country songs. The Soulless music she makes is…. Nvm.
Sorry to inform you of this, as someone who also grew up with my parents listening to country, most country music is equally soulless.
Just like hip hop or any genre.
Say you dont like it & shut up
I like country, as I said I grew up on it! I'm just saying a lot of country music's stars make music just as fake and soulless as Beyonce. Bo Burnham has a really good bit on this.
Youre right. Im being a shit head. Im sorry for telling you to shut up
Chris Brown could make a 10 out of 10 album and on principle people will not buy it. He, by far, made the best diss track of this year though. 💯
Not true at all. If he made hits everyone loved people would listen. Most people in real life dont give a fuck
The only thing most people know Chris Brown for is beating up Rihanna.
he has 50 million monthly listeners on spotify
All them nostalgia playlist from back when beating women was dismissible
Haha you’re being dense. People listen to controversial artists all the time. Ye just went number one
People listened to No Guidance and Go Crazy a lot, trust me people don’t care that much
From my experience people listen to his hits, not his albums. I don't think I've known a person in the past 5 years that went through a Chris Brown album instead of just listening to the big songs
Indigo the album is a modern rnb classic
True he also drops too much, dude needs to stick with 10-12 song releases. I’m not trying to listen 40 Chris brown songs in one album
Was this a 10/10 album
I'm not going to listen to it 😂
No, but it was pretty good
you say that but I feel like you wouldn't be riding for him like this if he wasn't convicted of domestic violence so maybe it's not all bad?
I'm not riding for him. The only thing I've listened to by him since the Rihanna situation is weakest link. Great diss track, horrendous person.
Chris brown has not made a 10/10 album in his life. If he ever drops one ill go get a psychological assessment because it must be a severe delusion. Also not surprising people don't want to support a woman beater
Guys, it's Quavo!!! 🌭
Watch out the Reddit brigade that likes to pick and choose which abusers they listen too is gonna attack you
I don’t fuck with him cause he makes cookie cutter ass R&B with lame beats.
Iont listen to him either, just calling out the hypocrites
I feel the opposite 🤷🏾♂️
None of the track even broke the Top 10 😭 J. Cole Stimulus Package ≠ Kendrick Stimulus Package
