Where's this data even from? Wait For U doing 31m/week in week 6 when it was "only" doing 7m a week on spotify doesn't add up considering Carnival is doing 20m on Spotify but according to you only 30m total

Life is Good youtube thing is one of the most suspicious things to happen to music over the last few years, even thegreatdivine can't explain that one

if you value longevity then Carnival is the biggest rap hit in years at this rate surely, maybe since Sicko Mode?
i think the song's terrible so I don't get it
Everyone forgot about The Box

I hope they keep this longevity energy in week 20. Hopenit doesnt fall off before then or it wont be a hit anymore according to some users.

Exactly. There was a real period for like a year or two where it felt like no matter what YouTube video I watched, the next video to be set up for autoplay was Life is Good by Future & Drake
The numbers for that song are heavily carried by that, super fishy to me

There’s realistically like 5-6 that can be argued. Carnival being the first hip-hop song this decade to be #1 on every major streaming service simultaneously puts it in a tier of its’ own

nope. this is like a boogie getting a #1 album selling 45k

That’s not how that works at all
Carnival will for sure be the biggest rap song of 2024 by year’s end and some of y’all will be furious
how is it any different?
It’s like saying For All the Dogs won’t go down as one of the biggest albums of the decade because it “only” sold 400K first week. You have to judge these things on a relative basis.

That is not the same at all....

I disagree because going #1 when charts are weak does not prove anything ie a boogie going #1 with 45k sales

So, by your metric, going #1 with an album when the charts are weak doesn’t mean anything either right?
So every #1 album that’s released in the past year means nothing right?
As well as every #1 song that’s released within the past year right?

Correct. Thats not a metric that really matter.
first week sales > billboard chart debut
