I don’t understand how charts work anymore 

Like no one is buying / streaming it?!

Harlequin and 143 vibes

This is very sad guys please stream she’s really good and this album is the best

[LauraPalmer 89]

this is wild to me… the album was amazing, she deserves better

Are we getting to the age where artists that we recognize are getting absolutely no traction with younger generations? 
 

I never understood this though. Do old people just stop listening to music?

Honestly in this specific case I think its more a result of a change in label. 

If it wasn't for this site & a insta account which keeps track of vinyl releases I wouldn't know this album exists or that Halsey was back. There's been like no obvious pushing of it

They pushed the vinyl really hard last week - many different collector versions and 30% off before it even released.

This is pretty obviously a reflection of her having a core audience but not wide streaming or radio support.

Shame, it's a good album!

I guess I don't understand the charts nowadays. Megan Thee Stallion, Halsey, Disease, etc. aren't performing as well as I would expect.

But at the end of the day, it's the music that counts (not the charts)
