    Need a case study on how Scorpion & Views still charting so high when KTT2 swears til this day they are universally panned

    Come Home The Kids Miss You is still top 20 and it’s total trash. Both Scorpion and Views have hits that give them longevity. Speaks nothing of overall album quality

    Y'all told us nobody would be listening to Drake years down the line, it was "in the moment" music

    Seems off huh

    Never said that in my life. Drake’s 2010s run is GOAT and some of the best music ever made

    That album gonna still be top 100 after half a decade?

    And if it’s the hits giving them the longevity than surely you can explain why Bieber, Rihanna, Adele, Ed Sheeran, and others who had massive hits in 2016-2018 aren’t charting as high with their albums from those years?

    Views charting above Lil Nas X album that had 2 #1 hits LAST YEAR.

    Hotline Bling & One Dance must be the biggest hits ever if they carrying

    Haven’t heard any of those Bieber songs anywhere since then. Still hear the Drake hits all the time. Ain’t nobody listening to Weston Road Flows apart from Stans. I’m sure we could find a song streaming breakdown to see for sure .

    So, hits aren't the only thing that matter when it comes to an album charting for years and years? Interesting.

    Yeah they have to be timeless hits, not meme hits. Don’t think Way 2 Sexy will have the same trajectory as One Dance.

    Beyoncè hasn't charted an album in years. She's got multiple albums with filled with several hits. Ditto for Rihanna. You can say the same about Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, etc. Yet, they'll tell you the only reason why Drake's albums chart for as long as they do is because of the hit records they called disposable and forgettable in the first place. I wonder what they'll come up with next.

    Obviously the hits will have more streams than album tracks dummy.

    I’m 100% sure Views non singles are still getting more streams than almost any other 2016 album’s non singlesThus if you take singles out the picture it’d still be one of the most popular 2016 albums. Which means it isn’t “carried” by the hits.

    Carried by hits are albums that if you dont look at the singles they are doing far worse than other hit albums

    CLB isn't charting as high as it is because of Way 2 Sexy. People are actively streaming most of the album.

    The last time he pushed a single off the album was 10 months ago. Yet, the lowest position the album has charted in so far is #21 last week.

    It’s not just more streams. One Dance and Hotline Bling have generated nearly more equivalent sales than the entire rest of the album combined. It would not be charting in the top 200 without them.

    The source you provided is TOTAL streams, and from Spotify. Drake’s album tracks do way better on Apple Music and Apple Music is the majority of his streams.

    Hotline Bling is the 11th most streamed song from Views at the moment on Apple Music

    No this is the formula from Chartmasters for EAS (last column)

    Equivalent Albums Sales (EAS) = ( Spotify 649/406 + Genie 2.20 2 + AWA 68 / 4 + Anghami + Boomplay + Audiomack ) / 1500 + ( QQ views 50(or 5) + YouTube 1.1 ) / 6750

    Yes, he takes total SPOTIFY streams and uses his own formula to convert them to total streams to estimate other streaming platforms
