La Flame x Amazon Prime collab incoming

Akademiks rant about Drake occupying his top 5 should be sampled by Drake if this really was to come through

I hope he still manages to debut 9 songs in the Top 10, would be a momentous achievement

Monday and sunday gonna be a s*** show on here when the records he broke go viral.

It’s crazy to see drake sell so much higher than 600 k to the point it feels like that this is a disappointment, the streaming area is wild when it comes to sells

Glad he still on top of things

bundle scott and the bndle still somehow gonna cheat?

600k in 2021 is 1M in 2018

Also can’t ever count out Bundle Swift

feel like a lot of people don't get this. they compare scorpion numbers to clb. but in reality clb numbers are much more impressive especially given it didn't have a god's plan

Here are some numbers to back up ur point.

In 2012, the average sales for the #1 album on the weekly Billboard 200 is 230,462 and in 2021 the average #1 is 138,649 (before CLB). That's a 40% decline. So that means 600k in 2021 (4.33x the average) is about 997k in 2012.

It would be interesting to see what Adele could do currently. she has always been primarily pure sales in her career

he did it with no singles from the album

She's never dropped in the "streaming era" so it makes it even more intriguing.

But I think her fans are still the buying type.
Even w/ an expected decline I think she could do close to a mil. She will probably do decent streaming numbers tho.

This is f***ing wild

Thanks my g

Drake still got it

Did you like the album ?

Not a disappointment at all, this is probably his biggest album

I didn’t mean like these were bad numbers or anything

I just find it crazy how times are changing

Like i remember when selling 500 for drake was bad before streaming took off

Now that’s the goal

I think streaming numbers are down for a variety of reasons even as we’re starting to climb out the pandemic.

For this to have done this much after almost a year delay and less than a week of promo is crazy to me.

Never dropped in the streaming era?? Damn that’s actually crazy to think about.

can someone explain how people said scary hours 2 “went platinum in a week” but a 21 track album didnt

I don't know why people started saying that.

I think SH2 was streamed a # equivalent to 90K first week. And if it was long enough to be an EP it would have been #1. But people started saying it sold 900K, which is just literally impossible.

Sold 900k + in singles in a week
Not albums

it’s crazy that if he’s doing 90k with 3 tracks, then 604k with 21 tracks is almost the same ratio
