Don't really think theres a big market for vinyl these days tbh man, hiphop wise i mean stuff is still put out there but doubt it gets promoted nowadays like in like the 90's & early 2000's when vinyl was alot bigger, same reason people don't cop tapes no more, vinyl will slowly die out eventually, shame really

Of course. That is why certifications are purchased. People tend to rely on other ppl's opinions regarding what to bump instead of thinking for them selves. Unfortunately these idiots are allowed to vote in elections. That might be why the candidates are usually pre-selected (ppl have no power in democracy).

Most days I was known as Hoenoe, because some piece of shit software back in the days thought that ö and oe are the same thing. Later shortened it to Hoe. Most of the mod positions I have had over the years were either as Hoenoe or Hoe. Signed up on NM as Slut, because Hoe was too well known and disliked. I was connected to "the wrong ppl" like D&G.

Times have changed. Sales aren't what they used to be as ppl listen to music on Spotify and so on. Certifications used to have promo value, but they obviously are not the same as record sales. Sales figures on the other hand are not publicly available as far as I know.
