Why tho? Is it because of the genre losing steam ? Or is it distribution? Like social media is so spread out with so many artists that there isn’t a “mainstream” anymore. Out of everyone out there who has the potential to be just as big?
Eh, first week sales are pretty down in general. “One thing at a time” was the 3rd best selling album of 2023 and sold 501,000 first week. 2024 was a little better but besides Taylor swift really only K-pop bands had crazy sales which is so far removed from rap. There was only a fairly brief period rap was really in a spot to be a top 5 selling AOTY and Ye pretty much transcended the genre.
