VibeGRODT and Thriller streaming this closely to Grad just shows the power that they have, being that Kanye has had more time to continue his career in this day and age and further establish relevance
So it’s Kanye’s fault he’s managed to maintain musical relevance in the 15 years since that album’s came out?

No, but if The College Dropout and Late Registration were all he released and then stopped shortly after, that would be a more accurate comparison
50 Cent is riding off his debut from 2003, you're comparing that to Kanye's biggest album + having a career for almost 20 years after that

The convo was never debut vs. debut, it was biggest album vs. biggest album.
50 is still riding the high of GRODT 20 years later because that’s all people care about musically from him 20 years later, he has no other choice

Graduation is still not as big as GRODT sales wise, you are adding in streaming
Kanye maintaining his relevance and his biggest album still streaming does not automatically make it a bigger album than Get Rich Or Die Trying
Mmm Hmm 😆Oct 24, 2023
ElementalMaybe, but i’m not expecting him to do 500k+ with streaming only ever again. The music industry is volatile asf, times have changed a lot since 2021. Even before FATD dropped I knew the album was gonna do Her Loss numbers just basing it off how the music climate has been this year
Ofc we adjust with the climate
Before it dropped I said if it's less than 400k it would be a flop
It did 402 so it was close but it's still solid
Even second and third week he's doing 100k+ which is good
Means it's sticking
Now I expect him to do 300+ next album
If it drops lower than that
Then obviously it's a flopBut we do take into account how everyone else is doing

Hotline Bling is a bonus song that was released a year before the album came out, but sure.
One Dance, yes.
Controlla is big but not on the level of any of the four big singles from Graduation.
And Too Good absolutely not.
Hold up, what are you basing the last 2 points on? Streams or just general consensus type s***

You said GRODT has sold 13 million units worldwide. According to Chartmasters, Graduation has sold the same amount.
