1. People been selling bundles since forever, and still do. But do they have enough dedicated fans to move units like Travis or Nicki?
2. Where are these bundles? All I’ve seen is LP sales. And then he has digital sales too.
3. What the fukk is real numbers, dude moving 500k physical units do something on his last album for 100 bucks a pop and you get a t-shirt. You do the math and ask yourself again what’s real numbers.
Is paying to get in all the playlists, fake numbers? Was paying to be in the front at Best Buy, MTV connections, payola and stuff like that fake numbers back in the days?
All the majors have their little tricks, question is really in just what your bottom line is and can the artists execute it.
Point is every single commercial artist would do these tricks if they could. Since it makes a lot of money
