    Is it me or do yall also feel streams should be weighed/counted higher?

    Like its weird to me the entire world is more connected and media driven than ever and we can't even come close to sales records from the past century?

    It's based on the amount of streams that will equate to a dollar

    Something feels off about the calculation tho

    How come we never see numbers like we did in the past...

    like im talking 10+M... there are way more countries listening to the same music these days thanks to Globalism and English being so widespread...

    kanye’s biggest loss is that casuals don’t listen to him anymore cause they don’t like how he’s always on some bullshit, drakes still got the soccer moms locked in

    Yall just setting Dot up to look crazy.

    If More Life had a full 7 days, and the extra day and a half performed as well as the first 5 and a half (unlikely), it would have sold 642k

    But if we’re gonna compare apples to apples, reduce the number of songs (22) on ML to the number of songs on Damn (14), and you’d have 409k

    To get further into the apples to apples comparison

    More Life did 226 pure and 279 streams

    With a full 7 days and only 14 tracks it would be at 287 pure and 225 streams, putting it right back to 512k total

    So More Life took an L over the lack of days available, but offset that due to the large number of tracks available, ultimately still coming in below Damn

    That's f***ing insane. Do you realize how crazy this s*** is.

    It means it streamed a little less than Scorpion. Not that crazy but solid.

    The whole theme of this thread (from Drake stans) is that CLB must be an amazing album because Drake sold 600K. Narrative falls apart quickly when you look at the top selling and top streamed albums.

    top selling albums dont have drake. thats the point
