The Big Day — Chance the Rapper

Chance went from the mixtape darling who won three Grammys without a record deal to releasing a debut album so aggressively corny that it tanked his entire cultural cachet. Twenty-two tracks about how much he loves his wife, delivered with the subtlety of a Hallmark commercial. The 71% drop in second-week sales told the whole story. It's the album that proved the indie-to-major pipeline can flow in reverse.
