Here’s the reality of Kanye West: few people are actually buying his “Bully” album.
Hitsdailydouble.com predicts that “Bully” will be vanquished by “Arirang,” from KPop group BTS tomorrow, which will sell 170K copies to Kanye West’s 107K.
The two albums are a study in opposites. BTS is mostly downloads and CDs, LPs. Ye, an avowed antisemite, is getting his sales through Spotify and Apple Music — which is also distributing the album through Gamma Records.
Few fans want music from the man who recorded “Heil Hitler” just a year ago to turn up in their music collections.
On the iTunes top 100, West has two tracks, each far from the top 20. Also, that 117K projected total for “Bully” is 60% lower than Gamma was touting a few days ago.
Last night Kanye debuted “Bully” on the first night of Passover at SoFi Stadium because he’s a Hitler loving, Jew hating ass who was kicked to the curb by Adidas, The Gap, Balenciaga and other businesses.
The only corporations who want to be in business with him are Apple, and Pepsi. The latter is sponsoring his three day appearance this summer at the Wireless Music Festival in London. But that may not happen since forces in England may stop it. I hope they win.
Tonight Kanye returns to SoFi for a second show, which many have pointed out copies a Lady Gaga tour from 2011. “Bully” is also unoriginal, a pastiche of dozens of old songs sewn together. West has also been accused of using AI.
The press’s interest in all this is sad. Both Variety and The Hollywood Reporter have pushed clips from last night’s show on social media as if it was important. As Kanye once said, “Slavery is a choice.” The media and fans that are “slaves” to Kanye West should really be examined for their judgement skills. This guy is a con man who’s getting the last laugh in a Trump slanted world.
We can only hope Gamma is left on the hook in this deal. They deserve it.
