300m US streams??!

 

He is coming to top Taylor's biggest week streaming-wise and therefore officially become bigger than her in the US aswell

Girl, love yourself, don’t live like a panini

Poor Jack. His moment got diminished by Bad Bunny.

 

I'm happy to see people are releasing gearing up for Summer. Bring on the bops.

[Apolonio ₃₄]

Jack is definitely not underperforming. Both him and BB are gonna do great. 

[JCsNumba1Fan]

HDD really underestimated Benito. These baseless preliminary predictions need to stop. Just wait for the first day.

I remember when doing 500k and up were considered huge. Now the standards have lowered to 200/300k . Streaming really caused a shift  

Really depends on who released. But 250-300k first week has been considered a success even back then.

 

Jack's doing well.

[fridayteenage]

2021 had three 400k+ weeks, all over 500k: Adele Drake Taylor

2020 had four 400k+ weeks, only one over 500k: Taylor

Juice Weeknd BTS

2019 had four 400k+ weeks, only one over 500k: Taylor

Using time on the charts is what makes no sense at all.

Today 1,500 people listening to 30 seconds of the same song a day makes 1 sale. It is not necessary to stream the whole album to be counted as sales, so I consider the formula to be very advantageous since in most cases it does not reflect the popularity of an album, but of a song. 

Only obsessed stans engage in such behaviour. Most people listen to full songs. Plus who's to say people listened to their entire cds instead of just their favourite songs 

[Raspy]

So

Morgan Wallen racist ass is smashing 

Bad Bunny with his spanish album is smashing

Hmmm interesting

 

[Marco_g2]

Anyone discussed the "tryna come the same day as Jack, rethink it" line in First Class already?

qué es esta mierda

 

Jack Harlow is the new Post Malone. 

And the fact that the Spanish music market is more competitive and profitable than the English market nowadays... reggaeton really took over. 

[Cloröx]

Not that one Liddos trying to hide behind Bennito to shade Taylor 

 

Huh maybe most of us really overestimated Jack

Why is that every HDD thread of a huge album debut, gays manage to turn it to a Taylor vs every other artists thread? You gays are weird. Take that insecurity somewhere else. 

The Gaga Stan brought up Taylor immediately. Let’s not.

Camila did a tik tok on it when First Class came out because Familia dropped same day.

Men have to do 20+ tracks to get streaming records like this kii. Olivia only needed 11 but congrats to Bad Bunny

Y’all always with this Men hating obsession, Why don’t we talk about Olivia’s advantages?

She had three active singles during the release week, more playlisting than him, plus the most obvious one, her album was in English unlike Bad Bunny’s 

Un verano sin ti it’s predicted to have 300M streams in its first week in the US (a country where English is the official language) which is on par with Sour’s 300M streams, but now let’s compare the album’s streams on Spanish speaking countries and see how Bad Bunny completely OBLITERATES Olivia’s numbers there 

 

OT: yes bad bunny yes streams

People always argue with me over this point, but it's painfully obvious that streaming to sales ratio is underweighed. We don't see many (or even any) diamond albums in digital age. But if you look at any previous eras you'd see plenty. Current breed of top artists are also mega popular and their albums spend much longer on the charts, but somehow can't reach the same certifications. It just doesn't make sense 

What doesn’t make sense is trying to convert streams to sales in the first place. Different things. the charts need to let go of the past and just accept that “sales” aren’t really a thing anymore. Have a sales chart and a streaming chart. If they insist on having a BB200 then make it revenue based or something

Perhaps. But it's just unfair to current artists to have such low certifications. Look at Morgan. He spent record breaking amount of weeks in the top 10 and his album is only 4x plat. He should have been diamond long ago. Only 2 albums are above 4m this decade which is ridiculous when people consume more music than ever 

[Gui Blackout]

I don't see how Jack is underperforming? He's really not that big to begin with, these are great numbers specially in a packed week

Music tends to do well in countries that speak the same language... SHOCKING

Congrats to Bad Bunny, the biggest album since SOUR indeed

And yet Bad Bunny’s album will have the same streams SOUR did in the US, looks like not all the time 

[PopNStuff]

Bad Bunny showing that Reggaeton isn't just a fad, I'm here for it.

 

The recording academy better stop sleeping on these Latin artists cause they are making history.
