its kinda insane Utopia doing "only" 275k streaming units even with a 5 year wait. It's actually sad that Drake's only streaming competition in the US is Taylor Swift, no one else even comes close

music is fr dead

Lmao the difference in a projected 200K and 20K is not shirts and hoodies

Isn't he doing a lot more though? like magazines, posters. I can see it, it's 100x more believable than him selling 200k actual cds lol

Mr Morale selling 35k physicals cds and Utopia 200k would make 0 sense at all. I don't think any rapper has sold 50k+ cds in like 5 years at least now

The only things that come with a physical copy of the album are the zines, and the fanpack bundles, but those aren’t even for sale anymore.

All other shirts, hoodies, and other clothing items are only available for solo purchase.

I’m not saying he’s selling 200K in raw physical copies, but it’s definitely more than 20K. His fans are diehard and rabid. There’s five different vinyl editions available and I’m sure plenty of his fans bought a copy of every single one.

Yeah they must have changed it then because 3-4 weeks ago you could 100% buy a hoodie/tshirt with an album included, i almost copped

they are for sale before hand and ship out on purpose during the week of release to count as a "Sale"

Yeah those were the fanpack bundles, those aren’t for sale anymore

Yes I know, that’s not what they’re talking about

it is tho, because those fanpacks will be 90%+ of those sales if he's doing 200k

Sure but the physicals are included in the price point of those fanpacks, so it’s an actual sale. It’s not like in 2018 when artists were including physical copies for an extra .70 cents or something.

Yeah that's fair, it's nowhere near as bad as 2018 and tbh considering the merch in those packs i'd be surprised if he sold 200k lmao

The album isn’t that good, if it had a better single and some slaps it would sell way better
He had to release it before astroworld fest if it’s even coming back

600k is the absolute max and I don’t think he’ll get close to that personally. Astro did 270k off bundles and the rules were way looser back then. He’s not selling as many this time around

You finally understand sales ≠ quality

He’d probably sell 50k actual albums without bundles max. Kendrick did 35k and he also has a vinyl buying fanbase

525k for Travis easily

Weeknd seeing all this

Mona Lisa by Dominic Fike getting a real radio push and might be his first solo charting song

Glad to see him crossover and that the Spider-Verse era ain’t over would be funny if the biggest song is the one they took off the album, hopefully the streams didn’t peak already

Weeknd "King of Pop" sold 148k with his last album so yeah if Trav does 500k+ he needs to fire his whole team lmao

Technically Morgan too but he has to release 30 track albums to compete

Yea idk what happened with that man because even the streaming numbers were lowkey low for weeknd standards, weird too because that album was genuinely well received

THEY KNOW ?

classic, Birds In The Trap vibes

Avi to post

But you know he planning his next lollipop scam. He def selling a milli next album

Bro is selling out stadiums tho so let's not count him out

Ok this lowkey smart, he just adding CDs and vinyls to all the merch stuff so it still count’s because the bundles now have to include CDs
