The album peaked and debuted at #4 and hasn't sold more than 150,000 copies to date. Their last album sold 1.5 million. While their "Downtown" single was a moderate hit in 2015, the other singles released in 2016 didn't even chart. This is what I said would happen. People kept on saying that he was going to be the next big white rapper along with Iggy and they were whitewashing the genre. And I said that both of their successes were going to end next era. It's one of the many reference points I make when I say that the idea of white rappers taking over the rap industry and "this is what the white guys at the record labels want you to listen to" is 100% myth. Eminem is the only white rapper who has been more than a one hit wonder and is still having success today. The public have made him the one exception in a genre where they're clearly not interested in anyone who deviates from the norm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Also Meghan Trainor might not have had success on the charts but she has had two singles sell over 1 million copies. Most of the people we call successes this year haven't done that.

sipthistea 21,099 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 You want to shade Gaga sooo bad. But no, b*tches, no. The girl still sells. Joanne is doing great, and it's selling more than some of the most popular albums of the year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muscletank 410 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Every single one of those people apart from may Alicia Keys deserve to be on that list. Especially iggy and that Macklemore shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockPop 7,747 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I feel so bad for Demi. Her voice is great, she just needs to step away from the Jessie j career path. If I was her manager I'd have had her release a Christmas album this year featuring classics & let it go. Go on an intimate tour (which would bankroll future endeavours), then concentrate 2017 on targeting individual markets & performing surprise shows in night clubs. Then in September put out an album focused on voice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
