Ak explains it best. His label bought 200,000 albums ahead of time and coupled it with his merch. So whenever a fan bought a t-shirt or tour pass it came with a digital album.

Nicki tried to do it last minute but couldnt, so her shyt came with a digtial access code to download the album. Which most people aint got time to be doing all that especially when the album was already on streaming.

Travis Merch came with a instant digital copy whether the fans downloaded/redemed it or not. So all the shyt he sold was going towards his sales. Some real lowbro sneaky shyt, if a artist like Post Malone did that the torches would of came out.

Prince did this exact same shyt in like 08. Again, Nicki did bundles, dropped the price (whereas Travis' merch was high as fukk and the fans still got the album) and still lost. We been knowing these numbers was fugazi, but you cannot get mad because someone exploited a cheat code if you used it as well.

Once more, one's fans supported, the other is in her feelings because she's officially beneath Cardi.

Nicki tried to do it last minute but couldnt, so her shyt came with a digtial access code to download her album instead. Which most people aint got time to be doing all that especially when the album was already on streaming services.

Travis Merch came with a instant digital copy that counted as a sale for billboard whether the fans downloaded/redemed it or not. So all the merch shyt he sold was going towards his sales. Some real lowbro sneaky shyt, if a artist like Post Malone did that the torches would of came out.

The Coli told me Birdman buys albums all the time At least Travis offered a t-shirt for your troubles.

Why is that the go to answer to yall about women? Violence against women in the black community is the highest in the country. How is beating up a woman gonna prevent them from being disrespectful? Is that your answer to everything?

You say "they all need the beats" but you the same one that would hesitate to do it to another man, black or white.

fukk is ya bytch ass talkin about? Where did I say a MAN should beat a woman? I said if he got another WOMAN to do it. U dont think someone disrespecting ur kid is grounds for an asswhoopin? Good for u cornball. MY job as a parent is to protect my kids. fukk what u talkin bout.

Receipts???

You got proof breh?

Well for one, Drake is a bigger artist and he sold 160,000 traditional album sales, Travis Scott sold 270,000 traditional album sales. This is something even in the Astroworld thread we found odd with some saying it was because of the Kylie Jenner stimulus package.

That right there shows something is fishy because Drake is a bigger artist. With that said Nicki's argument is that his tour pass counted towards the sales as well as his clothes and merch.

He was selling VIP passes to his tour, too. All together, Minaj claimed, it was enough to push his album past hers. “Travis sold over 50K of these,” Minaj tweeted in reference to the VIP packages Kylie Jenner publicized. “With no requirement of redeeming the album! With no dates for a tour, etc.” That amount alone would have been enough to push Astroworld past Queen: Scott moved 205,000 equivalent album units (albums after calculating streams) while Minaj’s album clocked in at 185,000 units, according to Billboard. (Minaj also released merch, designed by Don C, alongside Queen—funnily enough her merch also came with a copy of her album.)

Some of his stuff has the album sold with it but some of it didn't so if the stuff that didn't have the album as part of it counted then Nicki is right and that is not fair.

So it's just a theory breh? They could have easily noted which SKUs included the album and only count those. It's not that difficult.

Nicki is sad af

 

[Zach Lowe]

if she wanted to go #1 so bad she could've dropped another week

 

[ThaEruditious]

if she wanted to go #1 so bad she could've dropped another week

She dropped a week after Travis though

 

[Marlo Barksdale]

Travis did the same thing Jay and others have done. He had somebody pay for albums and gave em out. If Nicki was so concerned about numbers she should've gotten a sponsor. Not like this album wasn't pushed back months, so she had time. She chose to drop last week instead of this week.

 

[tremonthustler1]

if she wanted to go #1 so bad she could've dropped another week

She underestimated Travis

Merch or no merch, if Nicki at least did better than Cardi, this is a nonstory.


ain’t buying albums no more

Nicki just wants a baby that's all. She's pushing 40 with no husband or child. Meanwhile Cardi B and every other chick is getting knocked up or married. This Queen tantrum BS is just a front for her real pain of loneliness.

This could be true...Music is the only thing she has. Fame, attention, Billboard
numbers, sales and accolades are the only things she lives for but at the end of the day it can't replace having a child, a husband and a family.

Cardi is 10 years younger and already has all of that and she is just getting started.

To a degree that's gotta hurt Nicki...but Jesus Travis Scott getting shytted on for being #1 on the charts is unwarranted.

She really needs to grip on reality be because it seems like she losing it. Drugs aren't making it even better.
