I MIGHT COME I MIGHT GO I DONT KNOWWWW

just US

I think scorpion did like 550k first week from streams in the US
And I think streaming services were projected to double from 2018 to 2024 so by that point an album that’s as big as Scorpion should be pulling 1m

hopefully
Or ideally streaming services start paying more and it adjusts relative to that

it’s not about thinking he would fail, it’s about doing roughly the same he did previously despite all these rules in the industry setting him back. it’s very impressive and telling that drake isn’t just successful but he’s at the top of all the artists in the game when it comes to success. man beat out Taylor swift and he’s prolly gonna beat out Ed sheeran too

Not rewriting. His chart succe can't be taken from him but the circumstances surrounding it can't be ignored

nah but the Spotify promotion extends to all artists. U could play donda for free rn if u wanted to or any album for that matter

"sales don't matter"

But if Kanye had more sales yall would be saying L

Lol what is wrong with y'all

Kanye actually makes good albums

I honestly think though bigger artist should move away from First week sales.

Artist get an average of. 004 cents per stream

That means scorpion netted Drake 2.9 million first week.

Kanye three show and each indivually grossed more.

Drake could probably get 5 million off top to give a streaming service or a company exclusivity for a week.

the point to “sales don’t matter” is that sales don’t indicate quality. sales have always mattered and have always indicated success but they will never indicate quality.

Let them keep saying it because I can’t wait to see the sudden excuses if he doesn’t

yeah

that’s why there’s no point in even going back and forth lol

they will just justify everything and anything to fit the narrative instead of being impartial

example:

drake sabotaging kanye’s potential diss track by playing it for everyone and essentially taking the gas out of the whole play :

because it was a good song:DRAKE THOUGHT LEAKING A SONG BETTER THAN CLB WAS HURTING ANYONE? LOL

Drake outsells kanye: BUT SALES DONT MATTER LOL

it’s stupid.

They know this too lol.

Drake just being running the game for too long.

a number of the listeners will just want him out of here

his run is legendary, and to see this guy win over and over and over and over is probably annoying if you’re not a fan Lol

The quality of the music , videos and rollout are right there

Somehow Drake did that with Views and it still sold a million. Maybe it inflated pure sales though

If they know it then why the f*** do I have to explain it to them

I’m just confused why some acting like he is an underdog he isn’t

Kendrick probably do 470-490k

I'm lost or I'm just misreading this.

Drake is the biggest artist in America. You think other entities are benefitting on his first week? Come on now n

yall do the same s*** lol. lets not forget more life vs damn, the pusha beef, and now this new beef which is full of fan hypocrisy

earlier it was "kanye is obsessed and drake is unbothered"

now the first thing drake does after releasing his album is leak a kanye song . and we're all supposed to d ride and call it some master chess move lmao

Depending on how many tracks
He gonna need over 18 to pass CLB imo
