Nov 28, 2024I'm gonna add to these GNX streams right now
Happy Thanksgiving to the sales thread

She had her calculations very wrong as HITSDD already said 281K = 325M streams then 10k pure for GNX in their projections
Then she said 400M= 290K lol
HDD actually projected GNX to so 31k in pure sales, 325M in streams and 291k in total units. That's about 260k from 325M streams.
All it means is that the album is performing better on Apple Music than projected. Lil Uzi did 400M streams back in 2020 and that amounted to 288k units. SZA did 405M streams in 2022 and that amounted to 310k units but it's always better to be conservative because you don't know how much of the streams of an album will come from paid/premium consumers. That's all. My initial projections had the album doing 300-400k anyways.

To be fair, those albums had more tracks.

It’s the first week most streamed album of all time in its weight class.
How is that not impressive

I actually think he does.
Nov 28, 2024I’m getting him 10k more today on my own
- Nov 28, 2024
Unforgivable· editedThat's the only way Drake sells so much with each album release, is because he deliberately chooses to bloat his albums with 20+ songs to inflate his album sales
We all saw what happened when Honestly Neverminded wasn't a 90 minute marathon with 20+ songs, it only sold 204k fw
and multiple soulless cashgrab features like that Bad Bunny record
but hey at least he doesn’t bundle

Quality over quantity brother
If Drake had any artistic integrity he would trim the fat off his albums, but he chooses to release 29 track albums to inflate his numbers.

Points like these are stupid. You don't win a prize for dropping short albums and dropping an album with a ton of tracks doesn't necessarily mean you'll pull massive streams, ask Chris Brown and Future.
Nov 28, 2024Looking at those FATD numbers like what arreeeee thoooseee
I mean without 30 tracks your angels aren't even coming close

Drake this decade:
Dark Lane Demo Tapes (14 tracks)
Honestly, Nevermind (14 tracks)
Her Loss (16 tracks) - Nov 28, 2024·1 replyKayTray

S*** is nasty. Now they're s***ting on Drake's numbers to make themselves feel better. Her Loss has 16 tracks and amassed over 500M US streams but they think Drake needs 300 songs on an alum to pull streams
