Nobody is selling shit

Like I said before, outside of Adull and Taylor, no one is moving units like that.

This isn't the early 2000's anymore. The music industry as a whole is dying.

[Mel.]

its still more units than the majority of blacks are moving...

[SUPREME]

Yes black people are the problem

All the genres of music and r&b definitely accounted for 99.9 of it and its sales

[Mel.]

and FYI..
a lot of those albums came out last year, they're only tallying this years sales.

so if you factor this year and last year together they are slaying. a lot of them are platinum

wow

I guess it hit urban music harder once it lost mainstream appeal. Geez all these big/established names and they ain't seeing certs?

[SouravMay]

Demi, Ariana, Meghan, Carly Rae are still EONS above Sevyn, Teyana, Jhene, Tinashe, Mila as far as exposure, hit singles, album sales etc is concerned.

But that is to be explained with 12% being black and 70% being white in the USA, it is to be expected.

and them being pop artist help that

If urban were as big as it were a decade ago, a lot of these urban artist would have much more exposure

[Mel.]

12% is still a lot.
so lets not act like thats the issue.

12% ain't buying those albums. possibly 5% could be the actual buyers
the others could be downloading..

Only Sia, Nicki and Carrie's Greatest Hits came out last year. And 21 before all of em.

all 12% listen to music

Much less r&b?

yh the whole nobody sells theory is void, when the hierarchies are very evident. When back in the day a Teen Magazine would have Monica next to Britney Spear or Tyrese doing stuff with P!nk today pop gorls are on an entirely different level than R&B singers.
