    How stupid do you think people are? THEY KNOW IT'S A MARKETING TACTIC. It's a win-win, he sells an album cheap and gets to interact with his fans. No way in h--- does anyone go up to a cashier with 7 copies of the same album or some s--- without realizing what they're doing is a waste of money.

    If it's proven he was already selling that well then idk that's a cool move to drop it to 5, but i still don't support the "treat me as a product and boost my corporate ranking as much as possible for my own financial gain!" angle

    what

    I thought the whole point of manipulation was to "Pull the wool" over the eyes of the consumer. He's said basically buy more copies of my album, you'll get special 1337 elite 4.0 K/D ratio fan access.

    He was already #1 in the charts with the pre-orders so I'm assuming the numbers were not that far away, at least 65k

    120k with streamings btw

    I don't think you're reading that correctly. Pre-orders are almost always a small fraction of opening week sales. Music, games, movies, etc.

    You're actually right here, my bad bb

    But the point is that the album was already projected to do 85-90k fw, the GP offer definitely helped but with or without the site Logic was going to sell +100k fw (specially if we include streamings)

    Rodeo sold 73k fw and with streamings the numbers were like 90k lol

    Don't sweat it. I misread an article about Compton a while back and thought it had 300k pre-orders instead of projected for a couple of days lol. It happens.

    We really don't know how the GP offer affected his numbers. Projections aren't accurate enough to make that call.
