I don't think FATD will do CLB numbers tbh, but definitely more than Her Loss, probably inbetween HL and CLB, which'll probably still result in owning the whole top 10

*unless it's not a rap album :)

Niggas hate living in the reality of how big of an artist Drake is. CLB didn't have any hit singles, had fewer songs and dropped before we were fully out of the pandemic and still almost pulled more streams than Scorpion did but somehow, they think For All the Dogs can't come close to matching that because Drake's fans have vanished or something lmao.

Nobody ITT said anything close to this

This is what we talk about with you Drake stans on this site

You know the album about to drop when folks get to arguing how much it will sell

Facts.

I've never seen people discuss Drake online as much as they've done this year. From the interview with Caleb Pressley at the top of the year to the interview with Lil Yachty to the Bobbi Althoff interview to the uncountable number of times he's gone viral for random things. People are shockingly more obsessed and interested in Drake now than ever before.

Drake was the #1 trending topic on Twitter on August 25th because of the hype for the album lmao. People won't understand the hype for this album until it drops. Drake being on tour has boosted the public interest in new music from him like never before. I don't understand it myself.

Y’all do it to yourself everytime doubting how much he will sell do you see how dry hip hop has been as a collective?? He will out do Her Loss and CLB easily especially if he drops a single

They swore CLB would underperform and were using DLDT as proof of that only to look like idiots when CLB dropped and did over 600k. Same with when Her Loss was set to drop. They were using Honestly Nevermind as a reference point for how Her Loss would perform. Rap album Drake can never be counted out.

I’m down to place a bet on him debuting within the entire Top 10 if y’all really feel that serious about it

I’m not even saying it’s gonna flop, it’ll probably occupy 8/9 spots the debut week, I just don’t think it’ll hit all 10

Saying the album won’t occupy the entire Top 10 is not saying that the album will underperform

Some of y’all expectations are ridiculous

He’s not getting the full Top 10 man lmao. 8-9 is my guess.

Bro you’re trying way too hard. There is literally proof that CLB would have debuted in the entire top 10 if the charts were exactly how they are now. Why are you so hurt

Drake fans are setting him up for failure with their unrealistic expectations

@shaleirose could be right if the album isn't bigger than HL tbh

Paint The Town Red has 237 points this week

Kiss Me More went from 271 points before Planet Her to 299 week after Planet Her, an increase of 10%. Assume Paint The Town Red gains 10% too, that''ll put it at 260

Her Loss had 8 songs above that, next 2 were at 233 and 232

I do think this'll be at least 30% bigger than HL though considering the wait+hype, which will get it all 10 spots

I didn't even consider him occupying the entire top 10 till I saw how weak the #1 spot currently is. The album will actually benefit from having fewer than 20 songs because that'll give people more time to focus on streaming fewer songs.

As long as the album has Drake rapping predominantly, I'm actually scared of the damage it'll do just because rap fans have been starved this year. No one has really delivered for them this year on a mainstream level and everyone is looking to Drake to correct that. Her Loss also bought him back a lot of goodwill with casual rap fans.

Is he dropping CLB on the 22nd?

He hates Drake fans and doesn't want to imagine how much s***-talking they'd do if it actually happened lmao.

No, I just don’t want y’all setting up unrealistic expectations and then having actual Drake haters saying the album flopped if it doesn’t debut within the entire Top 10. That’s a ridiculous and unrealistic standard to expect

Solo rap albums always perform better than collab rap albums.

Exactly, then people who actually hate Drake would call the album a flop if it doesn’t meet the batshit crazy expectations the stans have set up

7-9 is a much more realistic prediction to make

Over the next two weeks SXN Radio will be doing listening sessions of Drake's discography. To make time we're going to do at least 2 projects a day with the last day being 3 projects.

First one will be So Far Gone / Thank Me Later tomorrow night, hope you can join us.

Full schedule TBA
