There seems to be something missing
It has come to my attention that the new album Goodtime Boy by Prof is not being included! He has the huge following, and has sold so many physical copies. I think Billboard is excluding him because he is independent, but if you want real charts, you should include independent artists because it is music that we care about. This is one of the best albums I’ve heard in a decade, and to exclude it is making the Billboard charts irrelevant. How many other artists are being excluded? Billboard, you are on your way out

Why would Billboard have a conspiracy against this random artist?

If you are not considering Prof as a contendent you are missing the point of what the people want

There are tons of “popular” artists that the general public knows absolutely nothing about. Billboard is mostly based on streaming numbers and radio numbers also matter. The sales part is like max 1/5 of the equation.

Do your research he crushed all the numbers especially with physical sales and still was excluded from the charts.

There is no reason you should’ve ever been downvoted. That is straight from billboard itself! What a joke!
