CLB Realfam2007is anyone beating Scorpion's record in the near future?
Nah, no one else has even come close to 500 million let alone 730 million. It'll be years before someone even comes close to those numbers
Jul 13, 2020Scorpion pulled more streams in it's 13th week than ASTROWORLD did in it's 8th week. Not trying to start up any Drake/Travis comparisons. Just using two massive albums released around the same time to show that Drake never needed that 6-hour promo from Spotify, lmao.

Yes bc it was weird
A think piece about the history of Views and Scorpion will not change my mind - Jul 13, 2020Jalen Brunson Fan

A think piece about the history of Views and Scorpion will not change my mind I'm not trying to change your mind. I AGREE that it was weird. It was also unnecessary because Drake was always going to do massive numbers, promo or no promo and you seem to understand that, which is why I don't get why you brought up the point in the first place and kept hammering on it.

Jul 13, 2020·1 replythegreatdivineBecause they didn't, lmao. And Drake was called out. The public reaction to it wasn't positive. Articles were written about it and Spotify never did anything like that again. I also thought it was cringey, lol.
You don't even know why they did that in the first place, so here's some history with Spotify and Apple Music when it comes to Drake.
Drake is the biggest streaming act in the world: in the US and Globally.
This all started in 2016 when Views dropped exclusively on Apple Music for 2 weeks and Spotify didn't get the album until the third week. Biggest album of the year and Spotify missed out on capitalizing on that.
The following year, More Life drops, but this time, it's not an Apple Music exclusive and Spotify gets it the same day as Apppe Music.
Drake is the only artist both platforms ever release their first-day numbers for because he always breaks their record whenever he drops a new project.
This is the article detailing what More Life did in it's first day on both platforms.

Both platforms go out of their way to promo his stuff when it drops because they know the press they get when he breaks records on their platforms. They also use his albums as a way to get more subscribers by bombarding people with notifications to subscribe to their platforms so they can listen to the new Drake album.
Spotify did that thing with the multiple playlists because Scorpion wasn't available on their platforms for the first few hours after it dropped. Apple Music has playlists as well and Drake is far more dominant there but they never did anything like that because he never asked them to. Same with Spotify, lol.
