I don't think it discounts them? how do Beatles have 289m then
i think it's more that with streaming it's easier to get certified units since a stream of One Dance counts towards both single sales + album sales at once
fairly sure One Dance + Too Good + Hotline Bling alone probably count for at least 50m certified units just them 3
It says that certifications didn’t come around till the 80’s or 90’s
Drake haters: we want drake to experiment
Also drake haters: ha flop!
Haters losing they mind in the sales thread, they think we care so much about numbers
It was only brought up because people are obsessed with their favs thinking they have become bigger than Drake, sales was just used as proof.

To be fair y'all brought this upon yourselves
You lie and a piece of me dies

Scorpi ting
Haven’t smashed to this yet but I can’t wait
Not exactly. I love HN. Been bumping multiple times daily since release. I don’t care what Drake or any artists sells when it comes to my enjoyment of the music.
But Drake Stans constantly set some arbitrary sales thresholds and clown anyone that enjoys albums that don’t reach them.
This is a taste of their own medicine.
Youre right tbh its mostly our own fault but people been wanting drake to flop and be done for years now. Its been happening since More Life
To be fair y'all brought this upon yourselves
Not really, the only case when numbers came into the discussion is with Weeknd and Kendrick.
With Weeknd during AH era, their stans claimed he was bigger than Drake. When those bundles inflated his numbers but they didn’t listen. The numbers for Dawn FM proved that point.
With Kendrick the same thing, during DAMN era they were boasting Kendrick was bigger than Drake. Same result with his latest album.
It’s their fault for wanting Drake to fall off so bad but it came back to bite them. History will repeat itself again when Scary Hours 3 drops, mark my words.
One thing I love in Downhill is the background vocoder vocals singing "Going Downhill" or also towards the end just a fast "downhill". Adds so much
Cant drive normal speeds to this album

Your not getting what I'm saying lol.
The most Vocal Drake stans are always bigging up Drake's numbers and are always using Numbers to debate anything Drake.
I'm not saying you do it
And not all the Drake stans do it.
But the Vocal ones have already set the image of what a Drake Stan is.
That s*** is set in stone now. At least on KTT.
Same way I'm sure people think Kanye stans are white kids wearing maga hats.

I was on my walk for lunch.
And the first 4 tracks have the same bpm/ tempo.
The walk was light work stepping to the beat
Only went in there once cause i know its a s***show of kendrick stans baiting lol
Yep same here lol, only peeked in there to see what was going on. If they loved their favs album that much and not care about sales, they wouldn’t spend so much time in the sales thread to begin with.
You’re missing the point of what I was saying
That was 2001 22 years ago
Critics are not the same
People are not the same
The internet has changed us
I truly believe it along with other classics from the past would not be as appreciated in this climate
You’re right that a lot of the new age hipster fans wouldve hated Hov in his prime and gotten the same fatigue in his era that they’ve gotten from drake and lash out at him

There’s always a few bad apples in every fanbase, the key is not to let them cloud their judgement of that artist. The weirdest thing to me is letting stans effect how they view artist.

Nah. Maybe some of the kids/trolls on here who unironically say s*** about Weeknd being better than MJ were saying s*** like that, but as a whole we were just excited for Abel to finally see massive commercial success and we were vocal about it. A lot of y’all took that personally and showed your asses in January.
