In what way? The fact that it got up to #1 (which sure I can see an argument for that because a lot of had to do with mass buying) or it dropping off from #1 (which makes perfect sense).

he shipped all vinyl variants, box sets(one containing a hoodie and the standard vinyl and one with a T-shirt and the deluxe vinyl), fan packs(one with a hoodie and the standard vinyl and one with a T-shirt and the deluxe vinyl) after 3rd week so it went #1 thanks to 150k physical copies. it left the chart because it's 10-year-old mixtape and his fans weren't interested in streaming it, it had only 6k units from streaming last week.

It still fails to do what it is supposed to. Which is be a gauge of most popular music at the time. The streaming numbers reflect his album isn't that.

Yeah it bugs me too. If Billboard is supposed to be an indicator of popularity, it makes no sense that singles or albums may hit #1 as a result of mass buying or streaming farming because that album/single is not popular across different audiences. It’s just a matter of who can get the most sales of that week 

Same with Spotify and the monthly listeners thing. We should be looking for how many different listeners that artist can reach with their music. If there’s a certain group of people who will always listen whatever you’re going to put out, it doesn’t mean your work is popular because it failed to reach people from outside that bubble
