    Lmao it’s really not, it didn’t even chart for 20 weeks (17 weeks total)

    Knife Talk is easily the biggest song on that album (charted for 29 weeks)

    I think the song just got streamed a ton because Travis is on it, but the GP barely knows that song

    Who cares, still the biggest song by far on CLB and I'm not here to argue about it. I don't care about the charts when it comes to that album because I know that the streets listend to Fair Trade more

    Knife Talk had the TikTok push

    In the 2020s, usually a TikTok push is what the biggest songs get

    Knife Talk is 10000% bigger than Fair Trade:

    Billboard Year-End of 2021 - Knife Talk finished at #86, Fair Trade not on the list

    Billboard Year-End of 2022 - Knife Talk finished at #60, Fair Trade not on the list

    It’s All a Blur Tour - Knife Talk on the setlist, Fair Trade is not

    Anita Max Win Tour - Knife Talk on the setlist, Fair Trade is not

    Fair Trade just has a slightly higher number of Spotify streams and that’s mostly because Travis Scott is on it

    There's a reason why Fair Trade has more streams than Knife Talk

    I already said I don't care about the charts. Fair Trade was definitely a hit on its own

    "slightly higher" it has 150 million streams more than Knife Talk lmao

    In a four year stretch, that is slightly higher for an artist as big as Drake.

    If it’s a hit, why didn’t he perform it on tour?

    He performs the biggest song off all his projects on tour, why would he leave out Fair Trade and play Knife Talk instead?

    Maybe in the first months after the album was out but Fair Trade is definitely bigger now lmao

    He just hates CLB as a whole and we all know why, he barely performs songs from this album

    No, the streets aren't Travis Scott stans. Most people actually hate his part on that song lmaooo

    When you train your audience to passively consume this is the result

    This is what I’ve been saying for a year on here, and they think it’s hating. They don’t understand that selling physical copies is not as simple as just being a big artist anymore. Nowadays, you have to breed that type of audience.

    Drake has completely abandoned the physicals and merch avenues of sales post-2016, and we are now seeing the effects of that as he’s trying to catch back up

    Someone like Tyler released a deluxe vinyl of Call Me If You Get Lost two years post-release and it moved 30K copies in one week.

    He was able to do that because has fostered a fanbase that prioritizes active support over passive support

    Sleep Token 125k??? they got it like that???

    admittedly i don’t have a way to keep up with non-hip hop music so idk if it’s not surprising lol

    CLB selling 5m units in the US without a known hit (by the GP) is disgusting

    So many songs on CLB had single potential and the album overall just really good tbh
