Come on get to 100M

first time UMG has mentioned Drake in over 8 years

Wow Janice doing even better

Never forget they said his run was over bc 100 gigs songs didn’t chart high

The market is clearly seeing what Drake is putting out there.

One of your S Tier artists plans to walk, and unless you give up serious $$$ you are risking a noticable % of future potential stream market share, and sending a terribe message to all other artists who aspire to reach Drake level is about working with UMG longterm.

People can say what they want but Drake may have played this perfectly between the lawsuit and dropping 3 albums at once, even if he has a clause in his contract making him have to wait a year to drop again after leaving, this is so much music that being on ice for one year is nothing. And hes made it clear with the lawsuit, this is not empty threats for UMG he would take a haircut elsewhere to leave them. He sees how they tried to lowball him from a beef they profited from at his expense, and he will walk over it if they don't over compensate.

UMG would be taking a serious risk to let Drake walk because there is such a huge contagion risk that letting an artist like Drake walk could start. They messed up and should have givin him the orginal 500M / 600M even when the beef ended. Its clear Drake been fielding offers and can get a $1B+ elsewhere and be willing to take a haircut to just leave UMG. If Drake is at indie label that will be a huge influence for the next generation of artists. For the market calculating that risk is impossible, and i would absolutely sell shares avoid UMG untill its resolve. Its a gamble any business would understand its not worth it, They are gonna have to pay a tax for how Drake sees how things went or they are f'd.

With how popular it is on socials and how impressive the streaming numbers are, Janice might be number 1 for multiple weeks since it just got serviced to radio now too

Which of these are actually gonn be in the top 10 after 1 week

check back a week from now

Like half of them I think

Shabang Atlanta and Janice are all locked in the top 10 for at least another week

It all depends on radio. Which all depends on white execs. We will see

Janice I think is a legit stable hit

crazy list of #1's, will also be drakes first solo #1 since 2021.

B-b-but look he’s got the streams… lmao dude dropped three trash albums and they’re not doing as well as first predicted. Spotify had to walk back their lies about records, and the fall off from release date to next date streams has continued to be sad. Not to mention MJ beat him with Billy Jean returning, and the music on all three albums is universally being clowned. Drake fans keep losing

wipe your tears

Keep crying p****

No one posted the us streams?

No way youre flipping 475K for iceman fw

A 18% increase from FATD (402K) to an L

Both MOH and H are within the initial projected threshold and iceman fell 5K below the initial threshold with the mid week projection which is normal

You are so f***ing mad

Breaking Hov’s record for most number 1 albums

Breaking MJ’s record for most number 1’s

Breaking Taylor’s record for most simultaneous album debuts

Tying Taylor for most top 10 debuts from a single project

Free Agent

Wiped the floor with Kenny in sales, bars, success and height

Your p**** hurts

“He dropped 50 songs and non of them are sticking”

Hold on now... let's see if any of these songs end up sticking. This first week is incredible but the real hurdle is the longterm performance

Iceman (as an album) will be fine, all Drake albums (besides HNVM) have had strong longevity.

The other 2 will probably not but thats expected
