I’m really not. My points have remained consistent.

• Sales are down across the board

• Numbers don’t reflect quality

• More accessible music will always perform better than non-accessible music

FATD went 2x plat in 5 months and you got people in here trying to call it a flop

"So did it really underperform, or are sales just down across the board?"

Based on its first day it shouldve been way higher first week. Projection kept dropping cause people didnt like it.

"its not an accessible album" aka you dont like it but dont want to admit its bad. Plus it had 3 singles post release.

If that flopped I cant imagine what they think about mr morale 😭

Who said I didn’t like Morale? I think it’s a great album. It’s just obviously not as accessible as GKMC and DAMN.

Projection kept dropping because it wasn’t accessible, not because people didn’t like it.

Y’all have to remove from your minds the thinking that numbers = quality. That’s never been the case and never will be

and its still selling about 200k a month currently, prob 4x plat in 1 year from its release

edit: even a lil more than 200k/month actually, it did 450k from Jan 1, 2024 to Feb 29, 2024

Queen flopped

She was able to muster her fanbase this time around and sell some more

Do y’all wanna turn up rq? 😈

@dreamville @thegreatdivine @roselei curious to hear y’all thoughts about the “quality/quantity” topic

I said Queen flopped. Her fanbase isn't the reason why PF2 was successful. She was churning out ACTUAL hits for a year then dropped an album people loved.

Drake can do the same if he ever decides to make good music again

He just dropped his 3rd project in 2 years and did 400k first week not a physical in sight

He doesn't care to do large extravagant numbers anymore. He did it before, the 1m first week still hasn't been beat by anyone in his genre

Yall more worried about his numbers than he is lol

It's always "X doesn't care about sales anymore" when the numbers start dropping

Can't do physicals first week when you submit your album the night of release.

Ye still pulling 45k a month later is brazy

What about it?

Sure it’s low for Drake, but 400K off streaming alone in 2023 is ridiculously impressive. I don’t get how it’s an L

If people loved Pink Friday 2, how it already out of the Top 20 selling albums in the country?

"Who said I didn’t like Morale? I think it’s a great album. It’s just obviously not as accessible as GKMC and DAMN.

Just your stance since I’ve seen it thrown around a bit in yall fun lil back and forth

what do you mean by quantity?

Numbers lol

Idk why I didn’t just say numbers lmao

You saying this like Nicki outsold Drake or something

quality ≠ numbers its not just blank sold more than blank so it is better.
