We are quite desperate for anything from Adam, aren't we? A few more days and I'll start demanding a photo of Adam holding that current day's newspaper.

This if OT but if anyone knows I would appreciate your view. I don't follow any rap artists so maybe that is why I don't understand. But I get someone like Drake, Chance the Rapper, Cardi B, Post Malone, etc. putting up huge streaming numbers. But some of these rappers that no one has seen on tv, or heard even on the radio, are putting up such massive streaming numbers with such a small number of album sales that they top the charts. How do they do that? Do they get on big streaming playlists, and that makes the difference, tho, no one has heard of them? Or maybe I'm the only one who has never heard of them, lol. It just all seems so unbeatable and deflating. I know they changed it so paid subscriptions count more because they said many rap fans use the un-paid subscriptions more but that has not changed anything that much it seems. I'm so glad Adam got his #1 album before this all took over. A lot of artists never top the Billboard 200 so even if it never happens for him again he got one. I don't know anything about these rappers and how they get such streaming numbers, but knowing that Adam operates in a very different musical universe, also in terms of demographics he appeals to, I can't even start to compare. Rap is popular though. What I find a bit "deflating" currently is Adam's "silence", despite the onslaught of lyric music videos he sends out.

You have my full support there I just checked the calendar. "Velvet" came out on Fr 9/27, one day before GC in NYC, and it's been over two weeks now. Somehow it feels like a lot more time has passed since then. Ryan and Kelly happened on Tue 10/2, which was less than two weeks ago, but again it feels to me like it was much longer ago. I am telling myself, in case Adam caught a serious bug, that he might still be in recovery mode.

Never expected him to put up those streaming numbers. That is why I said I was glad that he got a #1 album before this all took over. But that was really a throw away statement. What I was interested in was if ANYONE knew how these unknown rappers (at least to me) put up those streaming numbers? If no one knows that is fine. But I thought I would ask just is case there was someone who knew how this was achieved without much exposure. I didn't mean to imply that I was comparing them to Adam.

Read this article on gaming, twitch streamers, and rap. This is how kids find out about things. They don't watch TV, they don't play the radio. www.stereogum.com/2012100/danny-brown-twitch-rap/franchises/status-aint-hood/
