No, he wouldn’t

Ngl I know Espresso because it was played against my will all the time but no idea what the rest is I probably do know them but can't tell by title

scorpion , clb and fatd?

Scorpion had physical sales.

CLB and FATD would not clear a million with physicals

they bought 30k pure albums to beat the under 300k allegations

nobody was streaming this s*** after all

It would. Honestly, Nevermind did over 200k partly because Jimmy Cooks was a rap song and that's the song that garnered the most streams. Take that song off the album and that album doesn't debut with 200k units.

Of course, yes, it does depend on what kind of songs are on the album but if Drake is doing legit R&B, he won't be aiming for bangers and those are the songs that won't stream well or chart well. It's not being delusional, it's being real. Soon as I heard Honestly, Nevermind for the first time, I gave a projection that it won't do more than 200k lol. Some Drake fans were even attacking me for that projection.

The only Drake project to ever put the full weight of your expectations on is a Drake rap project. Anything else could go either way.

380 million streams btw

379M US streams for 12 songs is impressive.

95% is definitely within the realm of ‘almost’

I said what I said, nigga

Most streamed songs globally*

Damn I thought Not Like Us was the song of the century. It ain't even song of the year

Drake would do massive numbers with some OVO / NOCTA bundles. Also Scorpion did not have physicals that shipped first week

yup, its funny cus i wasnt even giving some crazy unrealistic numbers

i was projecting kenny to do 311k with my own calcullations and they were freaking out about how HDD final projection had him at 325k and that was the "floor" :jordanlaff3:

even gave proof of them literally missing projections someitmes by up to ~20-30k units off (Donda is a key example) and still werent hearing it

He would've done maybe crazy numbers with OVO / NOCTA bundles in 2021 but that time is also over now lol

Breaking news: popular rapper with like 20 projects and over 500 songs sells the most

Kanye gets insane streams off his back catalogue and people claim he's irrelevant. It is what is.

Cut FATD from Drake's discography and he probably still sells the most, his back catalogue is just too big

1. No he would not.

2. The “shipping first week” thing wasn’t a rule in 2018

Niggas really can’t grasp the reality that it’s the back catalog doing all of that work

ya in 2014 he had 20 projects and over 500 songs

Nobody has to stream those songs

You know it's some dumb s*** when quadra quotes you
