pure sales might barely get drake over the 200k line.
CLB only 10k behind Morale???
If Drake dropped a surprise RAP album with 21-24 songs he’d sell 500k+. He knows this, and decided to drop an album he’s been dying to make for years. It’s almost irrelevant to bring up the sales for this album, cause that was never the point. This album was, above all else, about the art.
Lol the “artist doesn’t care about sales” argument doesn’t fly for any artist - why would it fly for the artist who talks about sales more than anybody else

Who’s alt is this
"Getting off a lot easier" this is an internet forum bro 😭
For me, this is “outside”
How Mid Steppers doing LMAO

Crine bad bunny cracking 120k and Kenny barely doing enough

Crazy how quickly Drake's fanbase migrated to streaming-based consumption post-VIEWS. Of course this is the way for every artist, but I feel like Drake especially just doesn't move jack s*** for pure sales ever after he moved an insane 800k pure with VIEWS (though that was of course fueled by its one week of Apple Music exclusivity)
Then again he brings this on by not offering physicals soon enough, not offering digital albums for sale immediately, not bundling when that was a thing etc etc
My goodness. My Turn might end the decade as the best-selling rap album.
Chill we're two years in

Major cope alert
So we're officially in the flop era of music. Everyone needs to readjust expectations for sales now.
Been known that bundles were artificially inflating and propping numbers up for mostly everyone. They need to recalculate streaming numbers again because right now it's pretty ridiculous, at least as far as first week numbers go.
It gives albums better legs down the road since there isn't such a steep drop off after the first week and streaming continues, but in order to give a standard ~15 track album a sale during its first week you'd have to stream it, in its entirety, 83 times (!) on a paid service or 250 times (!!!!) on an ad-supported service. Lol
It obviously did, but a lot of y'all used the no promo argument to s*** on MMBS numbers
Glad we're on the same page now tho
You say yall when obviously people have different opinions. You seem to be arguing with someone else and thought we weren't already on the same page

Short attention spans caught up with the industry

Thats part of it and now no one can fake numbers with bundles. Sales would've sunk this low years ago if artists weren't using gimmicks. I love Trav but over half Astroworld sales were bundles. I'm worried for Utopia if he doesn't come up with something because people will think 250k is a flop for him when that's more than Astroworld did without bundles

It already has a huge headstart since it was released in 2020.
