Saweetie flopped to hell, The Single Life on pace to sell 2k first week

[Cladyclad]

This is literally not true. If all of her IG fans listened to the music one of the songs would have popped off, and that alone would have gotten her above 15k or more.

Social media followers =/= fans of your music. I'd imagine the vast majority of those people didn't peep the project. Her followers are there to like her pictures. They want to be her - dress like her, talk like her, etc - the music is irrelevant to many of them.

Not all fans of any artist is going to listen to that artist music. It’s people here that don’t even listen to their favorite rappers album it’s debut week

Exactly. Drake has 125mil IG followers. Are all of them listening to his music? Of course not. My point with this chick is that a lot of the women rappers are glorified influencers at this point. They have large audiences and advertisers believe their audiences will buy products. But I'm not convinced her fans are running out to get a McDonalds meal...they're focused on her image. It's like Pinterest for younger people. Chicks getting nail, lash, wig, clothing, etc ideas from her. White girls adopting her slang. Black girls adopting her mannerisms and behavior.

She has 9.8mil monthly listens on Spotify. Coi Leray has 6.6. City Girls have 4.9. Yet they all probably have more social media engagement than a host of male rappers who are far more popular, from Uzi to Carti to Youngboy. I also don't think it's a coincidence that so many of them are or are attempting to date male rappers. This is all a hustle for views and clicks. A relationship benefits their career more than a hit song, which in most of their cases will end up having 50%+ of publishing going to whatever the original sample they jacked is from lol. This stuff is incredibly cynical and laughable, you can tell a dude came up with all this for these chicks.

I follow Saweetie and it’s not for her music.

 

[L. Deezy]

All 10 million could listened to her album and that would only be 6k in sales. So a good chunk of her followers listened to it.

First of all, if you click Saweetie followers... Most of em are Indian bots. But thats another story...

I know for sure I follow people I dont care to hear music from.. like Redman, I follow him more for this new journey he on jumping out planes and dude is a marksman with the rifle. I havent liked his music in yearssssss. Dont care to even listen if he did drop because I dont wanna hear any of the outdated weed anthems. Girls and dudes like Saweetie for her IG pics.

 

[AAKing23]

She a 10 tryna rap….

She ain’t even a 10

 

[Artificial Intelligence]

She ain’t even a 10

[Who Not How]

She'd make tens of millions on OF. She should mainly focus on that.

You must be doing your walmart employee of the month math again.

it was a 6 song EP, 150 spins per song = 1 song sale or for streaming purposes the math is if an album is 10 songs then it would take 1500 streams = 1 album sale.

But even going off the 1500 spins for an album sale, it would be 10 million followers x 6 songs(60 million total plays) for 1 full album spin that you are talking about, which would = 40,000 album sales. Not 6k in sales.

source: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) "
For songs, all official audio and video streams from within the US are counted in addition to pure single sales. 150 streams = 1 track sale.

For albums, all official audio and video streams (SEA) from within the US are counted in addition to TEA and pure sales. 1500 streams = 10 track sales = 1 album sale.

In addition, if an album shipped over 1 million copies to stores it can be certified Platinum without all 1 million of these copies being sold."

True. This means that not many of her followers listened to it once, and the ones that did, did not replay it.

This is literally not true. If all of her IG fans listened to the music one of the songs would have popped off, and that alone would have gotten her above 15k or more.

if 100% of her IG followers (unrealistic by the way) listened to her album just once, itd be closer to 40k sales. Not 6k that @Cladyclad was talking about. 0 clue how he got that #.

 

[Artificial Intelligence]

Was that in English?

 

[Hannibal Fox]

@Cladyclad flying anti-clockwise around the earth, no amount of spin will stop this from being an absolute disaster

I took some time to listen to her new project today and that shyt is awful, even by "p*ssy poppin rap" standards. On a lot of her verses it sounds like she just started learning how to rap. Saweetie needs to take a major step back and reevaluate her career and artistry.

Those 2 words don't mix breh

 

[AMcV'88]

Saweetie about to bounce back from her monumental flop with this hit



she really might just have to wrap it up when it comes to music and become a socialite with brand deals
because the music going to end up having the wrong sort of impact to her popularity

The most cynical take is when they do the remakes of 80s and 90s records with a "Woman empowerment" slant.

Literally feels like some songwriters just hit Tiktok and IG, looked at whatever memes are popping with
women/young women aged 15 to 22 and tried to write a song based on that.
