500k is a generous estimation unless nlu is just the start of an even bigger rollout he's not pushing 700k with the momentum he has currently

Jesus Christ

1.914 million pure copies and 891.34 million on-demand streams

That is actually insane.

It’s actually really complicated lol.. first, music consumption, post COVID, is down significantly across the board. Secondly, Billboard has revised (on a yearly basis at this point) how they count albums sales from a streaming perspective, digital downloads, etc. and the ratios have become less favorable as the years have passed. They took away bundling merchandise, etc for a brief period but as of right before UTOPIA dropped last year that was re-instilled (thus why Travis Scott’s album performed very well from a “first week” perspective because he bundled merch and vinyls I believe).

In short, over the past 5-6 years selling albums via streaming or digital downloads has become increasingly harder. This is why Taylor swifts numbers have not really been affected at all. Because it’s mostly pure sales

Yeah I don't know too much about sales and streaming but if Kenny can hit 400k or 500k it was definitely successful.

If Drake can hit those numbers too then the elimination of Drake will never happen. Mostly because I noticed people giving his albums flowers years after they are out. I see people praising Honestly Nevermind a lot right now and when it first came out people were mixed on it.

Also the reply value on Drake's albums are typically better than Kendrick's.

That's why Kenny was able to hit 600k on Damn, right? Because he bundle it?

But thanks for explaining some of it! I appreciate it!

Party's post on IG - an owl in the middle. Drake definitely popping out on August 2nd to Party's show in Toronto

It’s funny cuz no one thought of “independence day” as in drake is alone in this, 20v1 spin the block coming soon….
Stay tuned don’t quote me when it happens

would make me wanna buy tickets but that last pnd album was ass

melodies that persuade her

We made it to day 5 my back is killing me tho so much physical pain. I should have stopped awhile ago

yall think drake dropping anything with the video or just going to let it blow over?

probably some bullshit dancehall record

Yeah everyone praises DAMN doing 600k but they never talk about the bundles he had. Drake and Cole are the last of mainstream rap to never do the bundle s***
