When you're 100% talking out of your ass. um i think you quoted the wrong person. I did not interpret/compare Kendrick to Migos and Desiigner Edited April 25, 2017 by Quaithe

Kendrick Lamar is currently a fad rapper peaking. This is no different than a "Panda" or a "Bad and Boujee." But, congrats...? No$tradamus only speaks truths. ...Vin 3 #1 ablums in 6 years, and 3 platinum ablums with the main studio ablums increasing every year and now a #1 and a top 10. Your comparisons with Panda and B&B are ridiculous considering one was a debut single and the other sold far less first week than Kendrick has on any of his ablums. You and your predictions have been off this far. 3 weeks and Humble hasnt dropped the top 10 and instead went #1 and just had another top 10 hit added. Just take the L Vin. Cuz you'll save yourself the embrassment in a few months when this ablum is still charting in or near the top 10. Edited April 25, 2017 by JBJT2786
Taemira Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Tumble sucks and is local while SOY remains unbothered as the biggest global smash of 2017
FutureHive Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 3 minutes ago, ChartsFan said: And that's the basic problem. people unwilling to go outside their "zone". It's not rap, it's garbage. It's not pop it's garbage. It's pop it's garbage. It's rap it's garbage. Etc. thst is why my argument remains consumption is not popularity. Popularity should reflect in any week your overall market penetration. How many people did your song reach across how many different demographics. if you demo inset one demographic but get no support from other demographics, then you aren't popular in the GP. and that's what the charts should be representing wi the broad based hot 100. so the hot 100 should be full of crossover hits. problem solved

NickARTPOP Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 The problem right now is that we are at a turning point in music consumption, streaming is obviously the biggest way people will consume music in the future (some may say it's already the biggest) but right now it favors certain genres, mostly those listened to by younger generations. You can't say that an artist is flopping or irrelevant because they aren't being streamed, because they don't have an audience who's streaming. And you can't say an artist is irrelevant or not getting real hits because they are only big on streaming. I think the best thing to do is slowly make streaming stronger over the next couple years as more genres embrace it, we can't let rock or christian music fall behind because streaming is huge in the mainstream but we also can't inhibit growth in the mainstream because rock and christian music isn't being streamed. Eventually streaming will become the main way all music is consumed, just like what happened with digital sales, but we can't hesitate or rush into it.

Rico Shameless v2 Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 This is all really so wonderful. Engaging in anyone arguing streaming is bad or that rap/hip-hop is inhibiting their faves is redundant at this point. Let's just focus on reality.
PettyExcellence Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 I feel sorry for the pop girls . The charts used to be so good when iTunes was the key

Might be tough with "Humble", "Shape Of You", "That's What I Like", "Mask Off", "iSpy", "Something Just Like This", "XO TOUR Llif3", "DNA", "Despacito" and "Body Like a Back Road" all being stronger. She could beat BLABR, tho... Might be close.

Rentboy Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, ChartsFan said: One thing thet irks me about streaming is the unfitness. if I decide to buy a song and listen to it, I get one sale, in one week. It doesn't matter how ms y times I listen to add another sale, I need to buy it weekly. yet streamers get to add points every week, over and over Im into fairness. Equality. This system is neither. yes same can be said for AirPlay, Exactly it can be the same fans streaming over & over. Whereas sales are all new fans buying so it gives a more true account of widespread popularity. It will never be as honest as pure sales. Plus in this transitional period its an etremely unlevel playing field. A relative few artists have a big head start while the vast majority are playing catch up. Or waiting for their demograph of fans to fully switch over to streaming. Which can take many years like it did with digital music. Drake now has longevity in the charts thanks to his same fans streaming week after week. We all know his sales use to drop drastically before streaming dominated. Edited April 25, 2017 by Rentboy
