    100-150k first week.

    No way this doing 100k lmfao. 180-250 is most likely. But then again who knows how many tracks we’re getting.. and how much is PND vs how much is Drake. We’ll see.

    you really setting expectations incredibly low lmao

    drake has marketed this as his own project pretty much, if this only does 80k sea (I'm assuming theyll do 20k in preorders) i'll be absolutely shocked

    Drake already said this isn't only R&B, there's turn up songs on here too

    also expecting this to be 20+ songs. it sounds like a playlist

    Yea 100k is off the table lol. No drake project will ever do those numbers. HMVM which was a surprise dance album with 13 songs did over 200k. If this has some rap and a lot of Drake, it’ll do well over 200k.

    People also acting like fans arent going to tune in atleast once to see if he addresses the beef.

    How it holds up depends but I def see him doing 60M+ Day 1 streams.

    This is delusional.

    Ok now I get your strategy based off the 150k first week prediction I saw. You are underselling the album to act surprised when it does 300k+

    My prediction won’t be far off if the album has either off these or even better combined:

    • A rap hit, better multiple rap bangers
    • A song which is aimed at Kendrick (just a song alluding to the beef and Kendrick, doesnt need to be a diss track at all)
  • SWAN 💜

    were any of these songs even released this decade? can't see any off the top of my head

    Old Town Road is the most recent song on the list

    100-150k first week.

    Can you get any more pathetic? The album isnt even out yet and you’re already making 100 different excuses...but but but it’s a collab album... but but but R&B albums don’t sell well... but but but it’s under Sony... but but but it's under PND but but but...stfu.

    You’ve been trolling everyone who doesnt sell as much as you imagined in your head Kendrick, Bad Bunny, Travis, The Weeknd... now it’s your time. Stop making excuses.

    Drake has the same buzz as Kendrick rn and you keep saying Kendrick’s using his stimulus. 500k first week is the minimum for Drake! He’s a pop star and has 108 BILLION STREAMS (60 BILLION more than Kendrick!!!!) and on top of that he has great chemistry with PND and that’s his lane.

    Drake's albums usually sell around 400k (average) fw and rn he's got huge buzz this is his big comeback everyone's been waiting for. No excuses 500k fw is a no brainer.

    Stop shifting the goalposts s***s pathetic.

    if the PND collab sells well, site is gonna be hell
    if it underpeforms, site gonna be hell

    I can't wait

    if it was a solo rap album i would say 500k

    but collab prob 250-300k, 350k if its received really well after day 1

    i would say the lowest being 225k

    Divine is definitely lowballing on purpose so she can act surprised when it does 200K+. Drake is on the album, and already said it’s not ALL R&B, so it’s very likely it will stream well. 100K is a joke for a Drake project

    tbh ill be willing to call it a flop if it did less than HNVM

    even with the whole "collabs sell less than normal"

    we saw Her Loss did better than expect as a collab cus it was good music received well, same will happen here if its good

    not saying it will do 400k+ as r&b sells less, but below 200k is a flop imo

    I think this album will sell more than Drake's next solo album mainly cause he has huge buzz rn thanks to Kendrick. A year from now that buzz will be gone so the sales will drop significantly.

    Plus he hinted that his next album might be more personal talking about his experiences during the battle which means yall shouldnt expect big hits. This album with PND will have more buzz than his solo one imo.

    Gods plan and in my feelings weren’t cultural moments LMFAO you guys got it man

    A hit single doesn’t automatically correlate to a cultural moment. It’s more than that.

    Was Kiss Me More by Doja Cat a cultural moment?
