If u ain’t selling atleast 300k first week u not a superstar and I think only Cole and drake did that last year . There are no new Superstars. Just a few more stars
So Lil Baby having a number 1 album for FIVE WEEKS and going triple doesn’t make him a superstar because he “only” did 200k first week? His album spent more weeks at number 1 than Cole’s album did.
We gotta really come up with solid metrics for what makes a “superstar” BEYOND First week numbers. Yes they are important but with the way streaming is set up there’s more to it now.
