I think you think that “promotion” means “interviews” but there are various other forms of promotion, some of them are hidden in plain sight, such as playlisting. Both WDIM and Which One received heavy and immediate playlisting upon release. That’s promotion.

Do you have anything regarding promo before WDIM song? You said there were billboards in Toronto. I did not know about these. Found out about the livestream a couple hours before

Drake is desperate for that number 1

All you care about is numbers bofa

I’m having trouble finding the tweets now, but I remember there being billboards in downtown Toronto after he posted the “Be here at 9PM” thing

Definitely bigger than anyone was expecting
Would be shocked if it holds well though

Where are they getting their numbers from? Spotify Charts website said it received 3.8M on day one

I’m chillin bro i hope he gets his #1 for sure but promise you i do not care. Just want good music. And im liking this lil jam

you better come with them

I’m wondering the same because I’ve noticed this happening with a few releases recently, not just drakes. Later on in the day there’s another updated number somehow lol

Is there a reason for All The Stars ridiculous international performance this year? Some new tiktok trend or something? It is out streaming Luther outside of the USA lol.

The Super Bowl boosted it back into the public consciousness, and Kendrick & SZA are way bigger now than they were in 2018, plus they already had a hot collab this year so it makes sense people would gravitate more to All the Stars because of that. It’s lowkey a generational pop song

traditional media rollout and heavily promoted

Drake is doing the same with a new medium: streaming

what’s so hard to understand about the fact it was heavily promoted, as was What Did I Miss. having thousands of people sitting live in a waiting room in anticipation for what you’re about to do next musically is heavy promotion

Drake had the newest biggest media entertainers all sitting down to experience his Iceman episode 1 live streams then flew out the same group to stream his show live and used that same energy to promote the next episode

idk what you’re tryna argue but Drake is currently involved in heavy promotion of Iceman, even if he does appear silent for a week or 2

It’s the 2020s equivalent of his OVO Sound Radio episodes to premiere / discuss new music.

Drake completely abandoned traditional media post-2013, but since then he’s always found modern and current ways to rollout his albums, some moreso than others. Iceman is the most promotion he’s given an upcoming album since Scorpion

he had the 3 biggest streamers all tuned into Episode 1 and Wireless and Episode 2

I really don’t want to hear that this album isn’t promoted because people are still stuck in traditional media brain lmao

his own fans saying that too, of all people you would think they’d be tapped in

what the hell

KTT told me this wasn't coming near top 10

go outside for once you loser always in the sales thread crying about something

i barely post in here but thanks for exposing you be camped in here lurking

I think it’s the number you see on the counter vs the numbers that appear on the chart

Fair. I guess i was talking about leading up promo

the biggest rapper (allegedly) in the world needs lead up promo? tell me you not admitting that rn gang

Every artist in the world needs promo crodie. That’s the game
