    Billboard rules say you cant do incentives for people buying music. Thats why i brought it up.

    "There can be no contesting or incentives to the consumer to buy an album in return for — or a chance to win access to — goods or experiences (whether virtual or actual), including benefits or discounts of any kind."

    Idk if album signings would qualify as incentives though. It’s a pretty common thing

    I think what they’re referring to is like first access to concert tickets if you buy a bundle

    “The lead up to PF2”

    Those songs went #1 almost three entire years before PF2 and aren’t on the album

    I guess. But her team did a good job selling for sure lol. They did basically everything you could. A bit unrelated but would be interesting to see Drake and Kendrick do that .

    So if she didn’t drop PF2 until 2030 would a song that went #1 in 2020 still have been the lead up to it?

    Both of them would clear 600K+ first week easily if they went to the lengths she did for this album.

    I’m pretty sure Iceman is gonna have physicals and bundles but probably not to the same extent

    No it wouldn’t lol. Bundles and alternate covers are already a thing. I feel like anything extra just takes away from the music. Cardi’s doing all this to beat pf2 because she needs to distract from the fact her music sucks. Drake has no reason to do all that

    Cardi’s #1s are technically on the album though. Trollz wasn’t for PF2, neither was Say So (which was a remix of an already popular song too)
