yeah that’s ridiculous

i can’t see anyone pulling off 1M in streams alone

Are you autistic? Like dead ass I’m not tryin to be mean or anything

It’s midnight. I’m going to bed. What are you, European?

They’re just in denial form whatever reason you right tho

Lol. I haven't been replying to your little personal attacks in each post. It's funnier watching you get mad. Your argument doesn't make sense and thats okay

Taylor Swift did 1.5 mil why can’t a prime Eminem, who was outselling his competition by 1 milli+ fw, also do 1 milli+ fw??

I’ll check your answer tomorrow

Didn't em drop an album that sold like 240k like 2-3 years ago?

I’m not mad I’m just askin. Are you autistic and/or European??

Stop projecting

Taylor didn't do 1 million in streaming units. Most of those were pure sales from her stans buying multiple colors/versions of the album. She did less than Drake in streaming units.

Midnights’ 1.578 equivalent album units earned, album sales comprise 1.140 million, SEA units comprise 419,000 (equaling 549.26 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 20 total tracks) and TEA units comprise 19,000.

Revival, Kamikaze and MTBMB all had bundles. That's why they posted the first week numbers they did.

I bet Eminem does something like box sets for his next album to boost his pure sales since bundles aren't a thing anymore.

Only reason Eminem was able to hit a million first week multiple times back in the 2000s was because that was the peak of pure sales and any artist who had a huge enough fanbase and had enough physical copies out and up for sale when their album dropped could reasonably pull it off.

Eminem today, even at the height of his popularity, wouldn't go anywhere near 1M first week because pure sales are basically dead and streaming is the way most rap fans consume music today.

That's one of the reasons why Eminem is like the only rapper from his generation who has made a successful transition into the streaming era. He keeps releasing new albums but as opposed to his fans rushing to consume the album via pure sales like they did 2 decades ago, now they're streaming the albums instead.

Drake is by far the biggest streaming artist and his biggest albums in the streaming era and his biggest albums haven't even managed to pull 600k units just off streams. Everyone else is below him in that regard.

The reason why Taylor is able to pull such massive numbers with pure sales is because she built up her fanbase to consistently support her in physical sales of her music. From jump, she's always been doing stuff like Tather exclusives and multiple variants/covers of her albums so it's something they're used to.

eminem’s whole post revival/surprise drop/scared of reception to tracklists business model only hurts his first weeks

once he cuts that out is when you could bring up him really selling s*** lmfao

This isn't a good argument. The songs Drake updated the certifications for that were songs on albums. Drake doesn't really drop loosies in the streaming era like he did in the early to mid 2010s. All his songs are usually on a project.

And features only count for the credited lead artist so despite Drake moving over 100M single units as a featured artist, none of them count towards his RIAA tally. His tally would be that much higher if he kept those songs for himself because almost all the songs he does as features were originally his songs.

plus drake doesn't update gold plaques 🥱

he not streaming like that even his overall numbers not that high anymore

So in other words a prime Eminem would be waaaay bigger than Taylor nowadays. If he did all this he’d 2 milli fw easy

Throughout this gigantic post there’s not a single point that actually begins to prove why a prime Eminem wouldn’t be able to do 1 milli fw

And don’t try to bring up your first paragraph. Eminem is the only rapper in the history of the genre to sell 1 milli fw multiple times, which means he’s clearly a different animal

All this started cause I pointed out Drake never had a number one hit in the streaming era while Eminem would easily have number ones in the streaming era

Lol eminem

So I get a text saying it's Howard from Bitbuy and there's an error on my account so I log in no problem and tell the guy everything is fine. Well they say they need to verify my address and number and I tell them, so then they say that I'll get a code to log in from bitbuy and to tell them. So I do like an idiot. They say they'll get back to me to verify everything is good and it was. So I keep an eye on my account and nothing. 2 days later I go on Bitbuy and I've got 35$ even tho I had 5k. No transactions tho. F*** sakes...

Eminem would touch 1M first week in the streaming era because pure sales are dead and most rapper fanbase don't support pure sales anymore.
