Charlie Puth's new album debuts at #10 on the Billboard 200 with 26,500 in sales

I'm surprised it only sold 9,500 in pure sales considering his big presence on TikTok. Thoughts, Exhale?!

I wrote this in the other thread..

He gets a lot of money from his Toks, promotions, and he's one of the most streamed artists. These days most record companies take WAY too much stock into Toks and those numbers anyway. You could be a hit like Halsey and record labels will stall until you have a larger social media presence. It's ALL about promotions and ads these days. I feel bad for the artist because it seems like less to do with artistic integrity than it does with promoting businesses. I have more respect for Charlie because at least he gets exposure and notoriety for show casing his talents (and becoming famous for that) than click baiting (I mean, I guess he does a lil bit of that, but I mean, we are thirsty hos. He knows our demo).

Well deserved after selling out to Tik tok

aritsts dont sell physical like before. We're a in a digital age so I dont know why there is an emphasis on physical sales being low? They're going to continue to trend lower and lower by the looks of it.

Anyway, Puth was never a huge star. He's kind of a C-list celebrity ,but I have always liked some of his music,even the incredibly corny stuff ( i know , im the worst)

[MikeHunt]

He did THAT!

Social media followers unfortunately don't equate to sales, many artists have HUGE followings and don't really sell.

Tik Tok translates to streams tho, and good charting singles me think  not pure sales 

I'm sorry, but he is so hot to me  he is always teasing on his IG and I think Tik Tok (but I don't use that)
