    We getting Volume 2 to 200k

  • Feb 14, 2024

    This album might go platinum in like 2 years lmao, the drop off is going to be insanely massive. General public (outside of Ye core fanbase) is not vibing with it. Projections might drop by 10k.

    He released a few singles after Donda to promote Donda 2 which all flopped so he scrapped it

    Cole just got a #1 with Drake and a top 5 with Durk

    i mean did he though? He just flat out ain't finish anything after Donda and scrapped Donda 2 effectively to a rubber ball. If he was properly motivated again, he could create a massive album like Donda again (possibly even bigger). I mean 140k for a collab album with Ty$ is more impressive than any recent rappers collab besides Drake and 21 who are 2 of the biggest in the genre right now.

    Cole getting a #1 with Drake means nothing. It's Drake. He got the stimulus. And the Durk song was just a stroke of luck. Cole isn't a big name in the charts like that and his solos ain't been on Donda level since 2014FHD.

    How is 140K low for a collab album.

    Collab albums (generally) historically do less than the bigger artists solo albums.

    KSG did 140K as well

    Kanye last solo did 309K with a mid week release. TY$ last solo did 44K first week. 140K for a collab album, with a mid week release is absolutely fine numbers.

    I feel like y'all were expecting Her Loss numbers or something

    Wow it took Kanye a 30 track album and a drake beef to barely outsell a 12 track J Cole album.

    Also Donda Kanye and 2024 Kanye aren’t the same thing.

    That last paragraph is just untrue, wrong, and hate

    Mmm Hmm

    Did you expect ye to do drake numbers after everything that's happened?

    Drake sales have been steadily decreasing by huge #s as the years go by

    Music keeps getting worse too

    Meanwhile ye just made the album of the year

    Just did KSG numbers
    After everything
    7 years later

    Saying this as if FatD ain’t top 10 still and it dropped in October can’t wait in a few weeks with vultures tank and FatD still higher in the charts just like CLB outlasted that dog s*** dj Khaled type album donda :drakelaffphone:

    What’s with all the Usher slander lately? Bro had his release date set before Ye he didn’t know they’d be competing. His last album did 38K this is a big improvement

    Seems like they've gotta s*** on Usher's numbers to make Kanye's numbers seem more impressive.

    Usher going from 38k to almost 80k is a massive W. He also has a hit record off the album with Good Good.

    Usher just finished a crazy impactful successful and well-received Vegas residency that's culminated in him playing the Super Bowl halftime show.

    He's adding more dates to his arena tour with every passing day and it's already set to be his biggest tour yet. He's winning big time.

    How anyone can frame all of that as some sort of L for a dude who released his debut album 30 YEARS AGO is amazing to me lol.

    So you telling me if Taylor Swift went independent and decided to drop an album and not pay for those banners, Apple Music and Spotify wouldn’t put her front page regardless?

    Yes. She'd need to pay for any promotional banners that appear on their front page like everyone else does.

    How is my post negative? I'm just stating facts. Kanye is the one who sabotaged the release of his album, no one else.

    And for anyone saying "he isn't front-page on Spotify/Apple Music, they're out to get him." Y'all forget that record labels are the ones who pay for those banners. That's something (major artists) tend to get automatically when signed to a major label because it's covered in their budgets. If you're indie or you have a release that's indie, you have to be the one to cover that cost. Spotify/Apple Music won't feature you on the front-page of their platforms with banners simply because you're a big name. They might feature your songs on their playlists because they're currently popular on their platforms but all banners on all platforms get paid for.

    Is Ty independent too btw? If not, why his label not promoting it?
