Mar 20, 2024roselei3Exactly, and that’s exactly why his album sales have been dwindling down and down every year since Scorpion. If he drops another album with streaming as the only option that s*** might not clear 325K
Drake has never prioritized physical sales like Taylor has. He doesn't release 40 variants of his albums like she does. This is a very dumb point by you. Posting this like album sales aren't down for everyone across the board.
Taylor gets a huge boost in her debut week thanks to her massive physical sales campaigns but right after that, the albums drop like crazy in week 2 because posting huge physical sales week after week isn't sustainable anymore.

jack johnsonIt was just the second biggest album of 2020 and the fifth biggest of 2021...
The kid laroi being number 7 in 2021 off of stay alone is enough to tell you how much hit songs alone can carry albums on lists like these

After Hours has 10.7 billion streams as an album on Spotify. The two biggest songs make up about 6 billion of that.
Which means the other 12 songs make up about 4.7 billion streams.
4.7 billion divided by 12 is an average of 333M streams per song.
Why are we lying today
Talking about the US, that's globally where AH was definitely a huge album. My Turn did something silly like 2x more streams than AH in 2020

quadraNo one is forcing anyone to stream CLB in its 132nd week
There's no such thing as "of course it's doing numbers"
It's always "it's Drake, of course it'll do numbers" to dismiss his success lmao. Like it's easy to constantly put up those numbers with every release, especially in an era where he doesn't move any units outside of streaming and streaming means people have to continue listening for weeks and months and years after release.

You posted that in response to a user saying after hours was basically carried by it hits. If anything you’re helping him prove his point by showing that list lol

Why do y’all always limit it to the US
There’s an entire population of people outside of this country
After Hours is the bigger album by every conceivable metric

crazy you still have so many people in these sales threads with different views on what matters lol
We're in a sales/numbers thread but numbers shouldn't matter according to some people lol.

According to him, streams don't matter and numbers aren't law but he's deferring to Spotify numbers to make his point about After Hours being a bigger album than CLB

Yes, CLB only outsold After Hours in its first week, that's why it's sold just as many units as After Hours in the US wth zero hit singles, despite being released 18 months after After Hours. You sound stupid with your posts lmao.

Also, this thread is US-numbers based. We discuss US acts, US albums and US singles and typically discuss industry happenings related to the US but now that he has to try to prove After Hours is bigger than CLB, he has to defer to global numbers lmao.

what are you judging this by if not overall sales?
