i think the reason why artist like tory lanez don’t do crazy numbers out the gate is bc they don’t actually have ‘stans’. they have regular fans who alternate in between streaming their songs & other artist that provide the same content or similar sound as them

rappers like drake, travis, uzi, the weeknd are gonna do 200k+ every first week bc they have ‘stans’ who dedicate there streams to them bc they are super unique and don’t share similar sounds or content. artist like tory lanez are super talented but they’re easily imitated
