:uhh: these numbers. AND these are the BIGGEST debuts?
I remember when a music release use to be an EVENT!
Turn to TRL you'd see them on there, turn to 106 & Park you'd see them on there.
They'd get special episodes. Access Granted, Behind the Scenes, MTV Diary, etc.
somebody needs to fix this :uhh:
Yeah the music industry is depressing. It's not exciting anymore.
Do artist even go platinum anymore?
All about singles. Albums are finished.

Pretty much the gist of it
Well, people don't feel the need to buy music, when you can stream it for free.

Very true.
I mean... Beys first week mess is still booking.
ya don't say
Streaming is starting to turn profit for labels so we'll see what happens next year
and really, the changes with Billboard make sense
I still buy albums (out of love for the artist) but I've been paying for a subscription streaming service for a few years now
I just hope they continue to make changes to benefit the artist

It's booking yet it would still be considered LOW if this were back then.
Didn't DC sell 663,000 their first week with Survivor?
:ohwow:

No it wouldn't the average album sold like 250-350k first week back then lolz
I was talking about this with my fren
I think this is great!
Perfect opportunity for independent artists to swarm and get their piece of the pie!
The world was just so used to having 1-3 great super talents.
But the emergence of social media helped in the sense, so many more talents have a chance to promote their craft easily.
So by all means if 20k of K Michelle's opening numbers are taken from her and divided between 10 indie artists, I love it. Spread the love and guwop
its really weird seeing her name up there with all those big names..
Better hers than Muppet tbh
