This is dumb. Beef has nothing to do with numbers, you Drake stans just keep saying that so you can feel like he's responsible for Kendrick's success. It's bullshit though. Did Pusha T start doing more numbers after he smacked up Drake? Nope. 310-325k is great for Kendrick.

Well yeah because a Drake victory tape would be 20 songs long

I don’t think y’all are grasping how difficult it is to do 400K+ with streaming only for a short album

Classic.

Niggas still crying about number of tracks like Mr. Morale didn't have 19 songs and still didn't crack 300k

If having more songs is all that matters when it comes to doing massive numbers, shouldn't that album have done bigger numbers?

Keep coping, K-Bots. Keep coping

Crazy stat but well deserved.

Easy 400M with full first Friday.
Great numbers

Black excellence

Album is a modern classic tbh. Not a single miss. She'll be eating off that for the rest of her life and she basically secured a career off it.

That’s the thing, basically everyone agrees Mr. Morale was commercially underwhelming for that exact reason

Nobody ever claims that Morale was some rousing success

Her loss was 16 tracks and look what it did.

Also the lower the track number the higher average streams will be for huge artist. Look at Olivia with sour or Cole with the offseason.

The daily crash out

Great numbers for kendrick this week

11 tracks 385m first week on Spotify.

It is the biggest streaming week for an album with 15 songs or less.

Ehh, I mean obviously from a business perspective, yeah you gotta reach a certain baseline when it comes to the music s***. After all, it is a business. But I don't think dot and Drake operate with the same M.O. at all. That shift started around the releases of IYRTITL/TPAB.

Her Loss is the one exception, Drake is the biggest rapper of all time, nobody is saying he’s not.

Go look at the highest streaming weeks ever. Basically all of the Top 20 are long albums except for Her Loss

GNX outstreamed both Sour and Off Season, and by a pretty wide margin

7 from 11 songs on SOUR have over 1 billion streams

That s*** is crazy as hell lmao

Go look at olivia rodrigo with sour and short n sweet by sabrina

This Olivio lady sure sounds like a big deal!

Real music

I think Kendrick cares A LOT about commercial success and always has. I think every artist cares a lot about commercial success.

Damn, you back from the other side?

Yup, they tried to get me outta here with lies but s*** ain’t work

I thought you got clapped forever lmao. Welcome back.

Wait wait Billie Eilish did 386m on Spotify with TEN songs

Also, let's stop this argument about number of tracks. Any artist can drop an album with any number of tracks they want. There's no wrong or right number of tracks to have on an album.

GOOD Music dropped 7-track albums in 2018 just because. Having less songs on your album doesn't make you better than someone who has more songs on their album. Also, having less songs on an album doesn't make it a better album than an album with more songs.
