    After Hours even without the bundles is bigger and more impactful than any Drake project this decade

    That's true. Blinding lights alone would be true but in your eyes is also extremely big still.

    Literally had a #1 record from the album in three consecutive years. No Drake project is ever doing that

    First off, without Abel's heavy usage of bundles in the album's first 4 weeks, it doesn't debut anywhere close to 400k units or remain #1 for 4 straight weeks. We saw what Abel's true numbers look like without bundles when he dropped Dawn FM.

    Even with 2 mega hits, it's sold just over 4M units in the US (about the same units CLB has moved).

    And as of right now, CLB is outselling it weekly and both albums have charted for the same number of weeks (132 weeks), despite After Hours being released 76 weeks before CLB.

    Now, if we're talking hits, then yes, After Hours has the bigger hits, no debate about that at all. But CLB will end up outselling that album in the US, easily.

    Don’t forget the lack of promo for clb post release as well.
    Abel was pushing after hours for almost two years. Deluxe and all.

    That's true. He dropped the video for Way 2 Sexy the week the album dropped and never acknowledged the album again.

    Eh, the songs still don't work without Abel. He's the most important element.

    "True numbers" = streaming alone

    Those aren't true numbers, they're just with pure sales excluded

    There is no reality where CLB is a bigger than album than After Hours. I don't care about whatever ten million stream numbers argument you try to use.

    Because selling lollipops has nothing to do with music.

    Nope. Pure sales weren't excluded. He just wasn't able to pull any numbers because he didn't have bundles that time around lmao.
