[OFFICIAL] THE FUNERAL (Appreciation/Discussion)

[Nico101]

125k (without album promotion) it's not too bad.

exemple:
Chris Brown (Indigo): 108k
Selena Gomez(Rare): 110k
Future (The WIZRD): 125k
Gunna (Drip or Drown 2): 90k
2 Chainz (Rap Or Go To The League): 65k
XXXTENTACION (Bad Vibes Forever): 65k
Beyonce (The Lion King: The Gift): 51k
Lil Pump (Harverd Dropout): 46k
The Game (Born 2 Rap): 23k

And Selena is a huge pop star so I definitely think people are overreacting lol the game did awful as fuck tho that's when you need to panic lol

Eminem is one of the biggest musicians of all time in any genre, he has multiple Diamond albums, you can't compare his sales to Wayne. Waynes music is not for everyone, that's it. And let's not forget that Waynes last BIG hit was Bitches Love Me which was 7 years ago and IANAHB2 still didn't do big numbers. His Youtube views is also not that great.

the fuck? em doing better numbers cuz white ppl are trash, look at ems albums in japan they peak n1 while wayne doesnt even chart

[Zodiac!]

Mahogany
Mama Mia
I Do It
Harden
Ball Hard
Piano Trap
Waynes World

other's are bad tbh

+ darkside but other than that that's my exact list

[Mbminas]

i pop me a perc and i smoke me some loud

Uh, let's get personal, Percocet got me vertical

[martian master]

bro its not that serious ... its just album sales lol

It does matter, it shows waynes influence currently (or lack there of)

thats not his competition
hes a GOAT right he should be doing goat numbers
Kanye (2019): 264K
Eminem (2020: 279K

Even the new cats which wayne usually can keep up with
young thug: 130K

even mac miller (rip) 164K

Like i said

it really is lol
im sure people will come up with excuses here, but end of the day wayne should be competing with Kanye and Eminem
not barely matching Young Thug

album tracklist , especially features and a better release plan was necessary

It does not define him as a person. It does not reflect the quality of his music. I get Its nice to have good sales but whether Joe or Diana streamed it or not I don't really care. I'm worried more about Wayne's pocket with the actual sales. The numbers aren't like extremely horrific. Their still good numbers in general
And the man is 25 years into his career... Wayne will always be one of the most influential ever man lol u can't question his influence l because some ppl aren't streaming him for this album or because he didn't do ems numbers

im not questioning his influence
im questioning his current influence
waynes first solo studi was 1999 - same as Em - theyve been able to compete for years so why cant they now
actual sales / streams he still gets paid. And the lower numbers mean hes gettung paid less
they arent good numbers for someone of waynes level

quality of music is subjective and can be debated. Obviously theres alot of love here since its a wayne forum but it is not a repersentation of what the public thinks. The general public feels mixed about this album and the numbers are showing it will probably be forgotten by the public in a few weeks. Sad to see someone who controlled the mainstream fall to that

Lawsuit hurt him a lot he was out of the public mainstream eye and it hurt him and he was kinda forgotten and let newer cats explode.

Lawsuit hurt him a lot he was out of the public mainstream eye and it hurt him.

This is true but i feel there were also mistakes with this release
for example instead of jay rock and takeoff - get kendrick and offset
theres a known da baby session and a rumored drake session - put those on the album
even putting da baby on the OT Genesis song

the sloppy release - 3 hours of sales lost
also based on the NORE interview wayne is out of touch with whats out rn (didnt know who QC and TDE is)
he needs to really listen to what else is out here - cause theres alot of good and innovative rap

[Blu]

2010 got *** all over it

rebirth leaked in full 2 months in advance and songs didnt change
ianahb was the first album ever to have a digital only release - before kanye or anyone else did it
the physical didnt drop til like 3 weeks later which was unheard of in 2010

Roman Reloaded (2012) outsold IANAHB2 (2013) soo..??

[martian master]

Roman Reloaded (2012) outsold IANAHB2 (2013) soo..??

253 vs 217 - thats competitive (in the same league)

ianahb2 was one of best (top 10) first weeks the year it dropped
its pretty early to say but i doubt this will be

Keep that same energy
