    Nope, he used to do 600K. Now he's doing 300K. Half.

    300k is still a lot these days so I don't see your point lmao

    A surprise mixtape filled with leaks and throwaway songs did 223K - amazing. Astonishing.

    For comparison, The 10/10, instant classic according to the so-called critics Dawn FM did 148K.

    Amazing and astonishing was when Eminem did 441k with Curtain Call, a greatest hits collection LMAO (which is now diamond by the way).

    223K during peak COVID when everyone was just sitting home and listening to music is a major L.

    KTT has always tried to say another rapper or another artist is as big or even bigger than Drake in many years. The Weeknd after Blinding Lights, Kendrick after Damn, Post Malone, Justin Bieber, Bad Bunny etc.

    And sales do equal quality. People wouldn't listen if it's bad? I am not talking about the first 1-4 weeks since people are just listening to hear it for the first time, but if an album is selling like crazy almost a year later without a hit carrying the sales then it's obviously and without any doubt due to the album being very good and enjoyable.

    Sales don't equal quality, cmon y'all. Programming directors been putting mid songs from popular artists on the radio for decades. Same s*** for playlist curators in the streaming era. When you have big followings like Drake and industry push they'll get your stuff to play. Not to mention some casual listeners do like mid songs.

    Y'all acting like the Billboard charts are a haven to high art or some s*** lol. It's just a popularity contest most of the time.

    You bringing up a demo tape with previously leaked songs that still did 223k just makes you look bad
    And during covid streams were down across the board

    Damn had 350k physicals and this has 0 physicals to ship. New rules

    These guys are making s*** up just to hate, cause for some reason everyone selling below Drake is trash for them. They feel threatened by Kendrick and The Weeknd for some reason

    Oh for sure. Good numbers. There's still a big difference though.

    They were the lowest because nothing notable dropped the entire year. The highest streamed music was all old. Big L for Drake who should have easily broken that.

    Kendrick only sold so many physicals last time because of the bundles. This time around the rules have changed, so there is no need for a physical release

    On another note, Drake will never sell 600K+ again unless he gets another Kanye (or similar controversy) stimulus.

    No because as you know nobody else big dropped (except for Drake’s L). Abel was the only other with 447K but that’s kind of slightly pre-COVID.

  • I just peeped the Kendrick album thread cuz i was interested in seeing if any unbiased users had shared their opinion on the album now that we've had it for some time. Instant regret.

    First message I see: ''this might be the best album off all time''

    You can't make this up. Unbelievable.

    Oh, so all big artists decided not to drop an album during that time. Jheez I wonder why...

    The sales do reflect the quality that's why CLB is still in the top 10 after 7 months because people love good music

    Drake did 223K with DLDT in the bundle era, lmao

    Dark Lane didn't even have bundles lol

    and 223K for a mixtape of leaks/YouTube loosies and leftovers is great.

    Untitled, Unmastered Comp Album did 180K and was completely unreleased/unleaked songs (but still leftovers) - same situation.
