Not to be that guy again...but the new streaming formula has made this a ho hum achievement? I mean, Aubrey himself never had a #1 record, a single solo #1 record...before streaming formula changed in 2016. Abel had a #1 record with the old rules, he didn't. Now everybody and their momma has a #1 record. Desiigner has a #1 record ffs. Its obviously impressive what he's doing in this era, but this is a trash era lol when 40+ year old Kanye is his biggest sales competition, just goes to show how trash this era of music is. Weeknd might do this with his next album, Kendrick, Adele will break all records etc... If you are a prime artist and your song doesn't debut top 5, you doing it wrong these days.

I'm still not sure if its really a good thing or not, the way things are measured now. On one hand, it may show directly what people are actually listening to more now. But on the other, artist know how to rig the system in their favor much easier now than before. Before, you could pay off radio..but that would only help so much for rappers. Had to have an absolutely massive song to go #1. Now? Dudes put out 30 song albums, knowing it'll help their numbers. Short songs, knowing it will help their numbers, meme songs etc... the overall quality has declined imo. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

I mean yeah this is what he's trying to do
Drake's goal is to sell as many records as possible and he's excelling in that
Most people here including myself are not happy cause he doesn't want to put effort in his music anymore but let's not kid ourselves it's been like that since Hotline Bling

Y'all are all brain dead

No one went out to buy a record because they dont f***ing have to
Why would I when I get every song in the world for $10/month at most

Consumption changed, yes
That's called human history

that just verified that Drake's hype is massive, since steaming services of nowadays are big part of the charting and super convenient way to consume music, therefore im not surprise Drake got many of CLB songs on the top 10, i doubt if half of those songs will remain on the top 10 list week after, because hype is more of psychological reason for people to interact with Drake's current music but IMO most of them don't have reply value and most people just listened to it since its new Drake music and people want to be part of the moment, i predict that some of the top 10 Drake's charting songs now will have massive drop next week

4 songs are predicted to remain in the top 10 a week later and all of them released at the same time . That’s unheard of and shows how replay-able it is

NO ONE else had done that

way too soon to say that they are replay-able, its only been much more than one week, it just the hype around Drake it will faded in matters of week/s

You moving the goal post . Ya prediction is already wrong considering the album is predicted to have historic staying power for this week coming up . So let’s just acknowledge that and secondly most people hear albums they first week . If he doing numbers like this Week two than clearly it’s an easy replay for people. Just come into terms with that cause you seem to keep allocating s*** to his hype when he still out streaming the worlds most popular songs when his hype is cut down 50% second week . Maybe people just like it and that’s okay

What I am saying is those: „occupies entire top 10“ achievements while impressive will become way more common in the future if they dont change the system. I made my case your honor
