    Has a rapper ever done a stadium tour?

    Not counting Hov’s show at Yankee Stadium because that’s home base

    The most surprising thing is that Dawn is only about to sell 50k more than MDM (a six track EP)

    Another one bites the dust.
    They tried to say that Justin Bieber, Post Malone, The Weeknd, Ed Sheeran are bigger than Drake.

    Justin Bieber: 154K last year.
    The Weeknd: 150K now.
    Ed Sheeran: 118K some months ago.
    Post Malone: Motley Crew and The Weeknd collab both flopped

    Meanwhile Drake: 613K some months ago.
    With no promo, no physicals, no kissing with the critics. And apparently with a bad album no one is listening to

    There's levels to this s***. You love to see it after people were calling him dusted when his ''album'' of leaked tracks and leftovers did 223K first week.

    At this point there's no more debating. Stop comparing him to anyone when it comes to being the biggest artist. Y'all been trying to discredit his status in the last 5 years. No one comes close.

    Drake is the biggest male artist anyone saying otherwise is just straight capping

    That being said as much as I do like CLB I would
    Love for him to stop focusing on numbers and trying to please every demographic. would be interested to see what he could come up with if he put as much into his craft as Abel does, coz no matter what the numbers say Dawn FM is a f***ing masterpiece

    Idk why Drake won’t do it but I’ve lost hope as far as getting an uncompromising project. I guess he just doesn’t want to come off “artsy” which I get but f***. I like CLB better than Dawn personally but I definitely wish Drake would try to do something a little more like Dawn in some ways

    That was his last project in the iTunes era and tracked over 3 days

    I wonder how it would’ve translated to SPS

  • Jan 10, 2022

    It’s funny how we’re acting like these will be fine final numbers tho

    Like it could only do 120 or go as high as 250

    1500 streams in 1 album unit (RIAA)

    1250 paid streams / 3750 free streams is 1 album unit (Billboard)

    But (almost) no albums have physicals first week now a days. None of the albums OP named did

    Risky

    honestly the bigger thing to notice here is that Summer Walker outsold Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, and The Weeknd

    But she doesn’t sell anywhere outside of the US

    Drake is more about the music than anything else. He just doesn’t provide albums, he stays on his craft by doing features, releasing random EPs, gives streaming access with his old music all which don’t equate to high sales (for him). Sounds like you just read all the reviews and thought up this ridiculous statement.
