Megan Thee Stallion's 'MEGAN' aiming for #3 debut on the Billboard 200 with nearly 65K units first week

[dontreadthis]

I was riding with a chick listening to this.

One of the first tracks is basically a porno on wax with a dope trap beat. I didn't get to hear the rest but doesn't she have like Disney sponsorships or something

raps being too vulgar is not affecting anyone’s brand deals, especially in 2024, be real.

 

[STAN JONES]

The numbers these days confuse me cuz it’s hard to gauge an artist’s popularity when physical sales aren’t the barometer anymore. But I am surprised Meg has never had a #1 album. Yeah she’s “independent” but for all the mainstream and social media push she gets I would think she was popular enough to get the 1 spot.

Why are you surprised?

Her popularity has always been manufactured by her backers

People forget she dropped her “debut album” like 6 times because she kept flopping

She has no hits outside of WAP and thats not even her song

her music has never been popular

 

[Tribal Outkast]

No one is really selling any records in rap right now.

That’s my thing..whether you’re selling 15k or 115k first week ain’t that low? Remember when rappers were selling half a million or a million first week? What happened? You’d think they’d just juice the numbers even more in the streaming era. Like man you got like 3 rappers right now that are going to bring in numbers upon release… ain’t that a problem? We don’t know who’s popular now because the ways to find out who’s popular are dying or are dead. Man it’s artists out here popular AF in the Columbia SC area but then you ask people in Charlotte about them, they’re like who??? The music game is all fukked up lol. People celebrate Meg and other artists failing, but then be pissed tf off when some white singer or rapper comes out of nowhere and moves “millions of units” shyts crazy out here.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

her real numbers without the stream farms are probably around 30k

at some point her backers are gonna stop dumping money into her to make her look like an A list artist

How you out here doing stadium tours but also doing 65k 1st week

make it make sense

It’s all fukked up. She got Amazon commercials and all that.. got a whole prime day roll out and everything. People just don’t know how to when to determine who’s a star anymore.

 

[Mastamimd]

Pretty low considering that Amazon has been playing her Prime Day ads every 30 secs. Soons as I tried to watch The Boys, there she is.

Here's the problem with that ad...is it promoting her music, or Prime Day? They don't even play any of her songs. When I see that commercial I think what useless thing an I gonna buy in mid July. This is coming from someone that actually consumes music at a well above average amount. Your average consumer needs their hands held to be taken to the water that they may not know exists. Most people that see that ad don't even know she got an album out. That's up to her team. All they see is hey Megan thee Stallion is promoting Prime Day.

 

[Mastamimd]

SZA is truly a rare breed when it comes to new era superstars. I honestly don’t really know how she broke out so big, I mean I see the appeal but not to the point where she’s literally THE face of modern R&B

SZA makes incredible music that is accessible to damn near everyone. It's that simple. She's a hybrid and also came at the right time.

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

i dont know whats good anymore in 2024...but seems low for a young popular artist

young?

 

[ThiefyPoo]

So ..Nicki didn't transcend Hip Hop music years ago? She wasn't extensively collaborating with pop acts trying to appeal as a crossover artist? That never happened?

Interesting. I must be imagining the last 10 years of her career.

Like I said, Nicki's competition isn't and shouldn't be 20-something year olds. Listen to how pathetic that sounds this far into her career. Y'all are taking numbers and throwing them in people's faces every chance you get, trying to prove something that's BEEN proven. Why can't you take that as a compliment?

Y'all have a severe inferiority complex. Every new girl that comes on the scene y'all IMMEDIATELY compare to Nicki and shyt on, for no reason other than feeling threatened. It's comical.

I've made zero excuses for Meg, so go troll with that bullshyt somewhere else. Goofy.

Y’all do the comparison !!!!

Then say these bytches are on her level wtf .

Everyone always taking bout someone taking her spot .

Y’all dont do this to men fukk that I’m not letting y’all back track .


fukk all of y’all eat a dikk .

Stay mad !!!

shyt looks funny don’t it !!!

Instead of these girls really grinding and building up a fan base they always try to make them look bigger .

Actually good numbers for today.

Honestly, only thing people are checking for like that right now are:
Kendrick
Future
Metro
Megan
Sexyy Red (to a lesser extent)

That's it. That's Hip-Hop Royalty as of 2024.

Everyone else is basically on pause until Not Like Us cools off.

I actually like it that way, all these new soundalikes are boring af.

Nope terrible !!!

The bar 228k Nicki Minaj during Christmas !!!

Her third week was 70k

Her 12 year old mixtape which is available for free 80k.

Zero excuse we not rolling !!!!

Who is "y'all"? Point to me where any of my posts made the claims you're talking about....oh, ok.

Second of all, nobody with sense feels like Nicki isn't the number female rapper. Quick to jump down somebody's throat over an observation. What the fukk is wrong with you? Weirdo.

SkipDid Spotify really filter out 30M 'bot-like' streams from Megan Thee Stallion's album?

She’s an indie artist
you think she has the budget for the top tier bots?!

Spotify is usually chill with letting folks do Balco numbers with the streams, so she must’ve f’d up bad

I‘m surprised by this. Based on her popularity, fan base and billboard number 1 singles, I expected way better album sales. Interesting.
