I’m saying the features on this album will be Thugger, Vybz Kartel, that UK rapper who just dropped his album last month and got some buzz and maybe Travis. Wouldn’t be surprised if he throws in Bad Bunny as well he’s desperate for a stimulus.

I still say this album will outsell his next solo one. The buzz is big rn cause ppl want to hear what he says after taking the L but as usual there’ll likely be just a couple of standout tracks while the rest get forgotten within a week.

The digital download thing is the glorified equivalent of an iTunes purchase.

Here are his last four albums’ first week pure sales numbers (which were all just digital download/iTunes purchases):

Certified Lover Boy: 46K
Honestly, Nevermind: 11K
Her Loss: 12K
For All The Dogs: 10K

$$$4U isn’t doing no crazy pure sales figures unless they drop actual CD and/or vinyl copies along with merch bundles that all ship first week

You’re trolling, right?

The Bad Bunny stimulus isnt a thing

but as usual there’ll likely be just a couple of standout tracks while the rest get forgotten within a week.

oh like every album ever

Yeah people definitely forgot about Take Care, Nothing Was the Same, and IYRTITL outside of the standout tracks

for me its celebrating unapologetically black artists beating culture vultures and reclaiming the genres

nothing greater than rap music

What the f***? Isn’t that REALLY close to NLU peak numbers?

yeah, last 2 days were 2 of the top 3 biggest days for it.

Nothing that didn't also happen on Views + CLB tbh

in fact CLB might be drake's most balanced album in terms of this

you are dancing on stage for donald trump

Drake has fed more black people than probably any black entertainer in history outside of MJ

Day 13 and HUT has only 2 songs in the top 200 global that're new from the album

Day 13 and Dawn FM had 6

Your obsession is troubling. You lost already. Let it go.

Wdym, I didn't lose anything, this is his least popular album since Kiss Land

Nope, that’s Dawn FM.

HUT had the best first week sales of his career and will go down as his second most popular project of the decade

Oh so now longevity doesn't matter to you?

In 10 years, the average person will not be able to name a song from this album. The only reason it'll outsell Dawn FM is by being 50% larger.

“Will go down as his second most popular project of the decade”

What does that mean to you?

Timeless alone was already bigger than every song on Dawn FM so that last statement was wrong as well.

The album will hit 3 billion streams by year’s end.

It means absolutely nothing, because the album wont be remembered, because it has nothing that sticks out lol. Just like Dawn FM

Timeless being bigger than anything on Dawn FM isn't exactly impressive considering Dawn FM flopped in the west badly

It'll hit 3b streams thanks to asia yeah, but this factually is his worst performing album since Kiss Land in the west

Bendrick Lamar wow

“Has nothing that sticks out” and it already has a hit record and has another on the rise in Cry For Me

That is also factually incorrect. It is quite literally his best performing album in the West, EVER, as of right now, considering the fact that it’s sold more units in its’ first two weeks than any of his other albums

He dropped a successful album. Quit crying and move on. Find another artist to hate watch, you lost this one

$$$ doing 1m first week

A hit record which is like half the size of 5+ of his other hits in the US/Canada/UK? Lmao come on. You're d*** riding this one way too hard because you don't want to admit you were wrong.

Best performing album in the west because he cheated the first week lmao. I will bet you $100 right now that Hurry Up Tomorrow does not finish a top 5 selling album of 2025 in the US. I actually don't think it'll end up top 10

Should be 2m because the album was made by two people

Did I say it was bigger than any of his other hits? Or did I say it was a hit on the rise?

And it will 100% finish in the Top 10 this year, mostly because it dropped so early and the first week total was so high. It’s already at basically 600K after two weeks.

It’ll be Platinum by around April or May, which leaves half of the year for more units to sell.

It’ll finish the year probably somewhere between 1.3M and 1.8M units sold
