    these are obviously still undeniably good numbers

    but surprised he's not doing a bit more than this. Isn't that what Ye did for Donda? You'd expect Kendrick to be way more popular than Ye in 2021/2

    Donda would've done like 500k after the second listening party. The hype was insane after that

    Yeah he f***ed up with that delay for sure

    Reminder Kanye and Drake basically drove each other's sales with fake pro wrestling beef

    Kendrick tried to use OJ Simpson, Jussie Smollett, and Kanye pre-album

    I don't care about numbers but remember CLB had billboards in major cities, a trailer, ads everywhere but Kendrick just dropped this with no promo

    Drake never really did bundling right? So thats not the reason for that drop i think?

    Kendrick had counting physicals with DAMN. Dude was selling 300k in physicals or so. So thats a logical drop actually

    drake’s drop is mostly because his sales have been moving to 90% streams, his fans arent in the purchasing albums demographic, also didn’t have CLB cds or vinyls ready anyways

    puts up absolutely insane stream numbers tho

    if Kendrick had cds or vinyls it’d be higher

    If Drake made anything as experimental as big stepper it wouldn’t sell s***. That’s why he gotta keep pandering to street niggas(who don’t even accept him fr) and the pop crowd lmao. You can’t be king if you scared to shake s***.

    This logically makes 0 sense

    If Drake had physicals lined up like Styles he could’ve easily reached 700k-800k first week with CLB

    Honestly, all this pitting artists against each other who seemingly have no real issues between them has to be stemmed from insecurity.

    Which is weird considering y'all favorite artist is one of the few doing the big numbers right now.

    So my question is... what makes y'all so defensive?

    It hasn’t been the “big 3” in a loooong time tbh

    It’s been Drake and those other guys

    Any sales counted fw need to ship fw…. Which means they’re getting produced before the album release date…. Which means the album probably leaks online…. Which then diminishes sales and streams upon release. Tricky to guess exactly what it would’ve done to sales. I’m astonished he never bundled when it was dumb easy. He could’ve sold million s with bundles

    Edit: did Styles’ album leak early?

    Lol at the d***head that tried to argue with me that Kendrick could do more than CLB.

    it helps to have that rabid fanbase to start the hype for an album. but I'm sure Kendrick has that too

    And once you get into 100k+ territory I'd presume you're reaching millions of casuals and not just your core fanbase
