There’s nothing Travis did that is against any rules Billboard has in place right now. Taylor has been using these same tactics for months and they haven’t stopped her yet
we'll see
i dont think bundling with tour tickets should count. I dont think bundles at all should really count even box sets unless its with a vinyl. But travis is flat out selling digital albums.
Utopia sold 252,000 copies in its first week. Of that sum, digital downloads comprise 111,000 (with 79% of that sum from the “First Edition” variant), CD sales comprise 63,000 (80% of that figure were CDs housed in boxed sets and zine packages) and vinyl sales comprise 79,000 (30.5% were vinyl housed in boxed sets). Of the album’s 252,000 sold across all formats (digital download, CD and vinyl), deluxe boxed sets and zine packages combined to sell 30% of that figure (about 75,000 of 252,000).
Coming back to this because 111K is an insane figure for digital downloads ONLY first week. Travis fans go crazy for him
Funny af the label was probably like oh you’re only going up against an anniversary tape
Little did they know Travis would have 7 bundles ready
finesssinnnnnnnnn finessin (straight up!)
I can't go one day without finessin (la flame!)
I see delusional Drake groupies hating on Travis for selling so many albums...wonder why
Drake’s whole thing was being number 1 with sales but now he’s number 2 since Travis sold way more
Congrats to Travis. He pushed Drake out with the numbers and Dot did it with the quality.

what was bundled
I hate to trust AK
But has he ever lied before?
I’ve never seen Ak post blatantly incorrect information like that, he might’ve gotten the early scoop
That man Trav is cold with the bundles
Ragers really a cult fanbase that would go hard for anything Travis. I fux with it.
Nothing official has been revealed by either HDD or Billboard and at this point, the only numbers that really matter are Billboard's, seeing as their the official industry recognized body music charts in the US.
Also noticing they might have gotten Roan’s label wrong on the screenshot
If Abel just played some games he could have won but end of day it doesn’t matter
If those games entailed dropping a good album then yeah
If those games entailed dropping a good album then yeah
critically acclaimed masterpiece but okay
Seems like even with that he could win

If Carti’s label does this same strategy the numbers are going to be insane.

He knew Nicki's sales before she did

The OV Hoes also like to say “but Drake doesn’t drop any variants, he’s 100% organic !!”
And that’s why all of his albums and singles after 2021 were #1 for 1 week only. (FatDog got its 2nd week by a deluxe edition drop.)
