moonlight!

So he managed to purchase bots to boost his YT likes, YT views, YT comments, get him to #1 on Apple Music, top 5 on iTunes and Spotify and to help him break the IG live record if its so easy, why doesn’t every artist do it?

Roddy with 3 songs in the top 15, including 2 in the top 5

No. He did 67k SEA + TEA, and he’s #26 on iTunes so his sales are probably pretty low. Lil Uzi and Rod Wave both did more than 67k total

The difference is that most artists don’t post about merch constantly after the first week

Chixtape 5 was hyped up and promoted for a few months. This tape was barely promoted and is dealing with the down streaming

HDD uses total consumption for their year end charts, so yes they include the pre-release units.

his Yummy and ME!, they said Artist of the decade did that

Nope

Yes You'll survive

Doesnt matter, they have nothing to do with album popularity. Unless I missed something and the BB200 is now here to show the most popular tours and clothing items of the week

Wait Toosie actually debuted with 2.67 on US Spotify and 6.2 on Global Spotify. Spotify forgot to combine the explicit and clean versions

I said SINGLE debuts. Read. Nonstop was an album track. The highest album tracks from big artists will typically debut with more than what their single does. And God’s Plan definitely did have a full day

His biggest global single debut on Spotify is like 4 million so thats not surprising. He’s an Apple Music artist

Slayed with those 2.5k sales

How so? Lil Uzi and The Weeknd's #s would be higher as well, she'd be getting blocked either way

oof, Abel under 100k 5SOS will probably be #1, their bundles will come through

tik tok compilations probably

You guys are underestimating how much the pandemic is tanking steaming/sales These low numbers aren't surprising

It says in the article that he had both tour and merch bundles Of that sum, 37,000 were in album sales (assisted by a concert/ticket album sale redemption offer with his tour late last year, and merchandise/album bundles).

Nah its getting pretty decent on demand streams from somewhere (i think i saw someone say its #1 on Amazon)

You're forgetting that they have bundles, which is the only reason 5SOS is doing that much. So comparing Spotify #s doesn't really matter

Not his fault that people decided to stop streaming music the last 2 weeks

Before this year, Billboard use to allow views from UGC content to count to the H100. UGC is basically like video/meme compilations on YouTube including TikTok compilations that only needed a small portion of a song playing in it to count as a view. It's how songs like OTR and Bad Guy were able to chart for so high for so long in the US. But they changed their rules at the start of this year basically disallowing them completely from the chart It seems like they didn't change those rules on the Canadian chart tho considering that Bad Guy and OTR are still top 20 there thats why Cannibal is so high despite not charting on AM/Spotify

14m-18m

1.85m on the Global chart and debuted at #35
