we’ll see this summer I guess

Nah.. lol.

I don't think he'll sell a crazy amount less though.

how you gettin hype off one hit do that s*** again

Do you mean this ?

CDs were available in stores, and Kendrick sold t-shirt bundles with CD and vinyl copies of the album from the TDE store.

From this

Probably doesn’t matter

This thread will just blame bots regardless

Still need a source on that “300k from bundles” claim

I'd only blame the listeners gassing something up just to abandon it in its second week like his last album.

Last album didn’t have huge numbers tho

The drop off was telling regardless

It was all over lol. You can find a bunch on it. I’ll list it all. He was selling shirts and all types of merch that came with the album. He did 300k streaming and 300k through physical bundles.

yes, the disstracks are his biggest songs ever and helped him relaunch his career

i know that rn streaming numbers are f***ed for everybody but you ignore that kendrick has received wide coverage in a way he hasn't before

this s*** will do numbers cro and i stick with that prediction - gonna take the L or W with grace

MM was viral pre-release because "omg when kendrick talks the world listens, we've been waiting for the real music" and then it was crickets.

what yall think Drake’s biggest song is, numbers wise and culture wise? Gods plan, one dance?

What it comes down to, is if he makes an album like damn or mr morale again. If its a woke album it’ll do 250k. If its hype songs 300-350k most.

The drop off showed a therapy album didn’t have a bunch of reply and that’s okay, he’s not a pop artist anyways

Do you think kendrick drops july/aug?

bro got caught cheating and said I might be racist, is that therapy

Probably Gods Plan. But he’s going to end up having the most diamond songs ever in time. In terms of cultural impact a lot of his smaller songs actually go a lot further. Like 6pm in New York, 0-100, etc

Immediate drop off showed disinterest

Nope. If he drops this year it won’t be for a while.

He did 300k from physicals in general not just bundles

there is no chance in HELL that dude does another mr morale and the big floppers

he wants hits, his fans want hits, they'll never admit it but it is what it is - and NLU is the prototype of what he'll do from here on

the new snippet already sounds like a continuation of that path - it'll be a banger-focused album

Same article

According to HITS Daily Double, Kung Fu Kenny scored the year’s biggest debut with 610,000 album equivalent units, with about 362,000 of those copies being sold.

362K or less would be apart of the T-Shirt / CD Vinyl Bundle.
