I would really like to visit this fantasyland that stans have do where Billboard was ever credible and had integrity.

Like.... this is the same Billboard that had separate charts for Black people.

Now the real tea is: a lot of y’all are growing up and seeing and understanding the games labels are playing to go #1. She of these records that y’all hold so near and dear were achieved through scamming ass fraudulent ass practices on the part of the labels so let’s unpack that.

At the end of the day... this is the music BUSINESS. The goal is to make money. It’s completely on you if you let that take away from your love go music as an art form.

Labels owning whole radio stations to spam their artists, labels buying records, steep one week discounts, merch bundles... the games have been here for decades but y’all only upset when it’s an artist you don’t like. Understandable. We’re all biased towards artist we enjoy.
