    Donda 100% would have at least cleared 450k fw if he dropped on Friday.

    75 tracks

    Yep I knew it was going be in this range, some of ya was deluding urself with "easily over 400k"

    To be fair there were a lot of Kendrick stans who were insistent that he would outsell Drake with their respective next albums, usually backed up by shoddy logic like using More Life vs. DAMN. sales and Drake’s downward sales trajectory from Views -> Scorpion. So it’s fair for us to pop back in and throw a little in here

    ANYWAY 350k is extraordinary for 2022 and will he is still the second-highest selling artist in the game. And this album is so f***ing incredibly good; one of my favorites of the last five years for sure.

    He used imagery in a music video. Kanye did 3 listening parties and Drake did a meme song

    true but it does seem like Ye/JiK were way more commercially quiet for him

    Ye did pretty well for only 7 tracks. Like 5/7 tracks went viral on TikTok and also 5/7 tracks have over 100m streams on Spotify, with Wouldn't Leave following soon. The stans hating on this album but the general population f***ed with it.

    JIK on the other side isn't even platinum yet but it's by far his worst album and all the Yandhi hype with the leaks turned off many people at that time

    Not really. YouTube streams are weighted pretty lightly

    What physical copy rule. A physical copy counts as 1 album sold. Technically it's cheaper to buy an album than have 1500 streams count as an album

    It HAD sold over a million copies by the time it dropped and the first week sales counted, but in reality it did like 880K+

    This not really a fair comparison for Kendrick streaming grew a lot from 2017 to 2018 and pure sales dropped.
