we paid 22 weeks on chart...
And most of those weeks were spent in the bottom half of the chart. Doesn't mean it carried the album. Lil Baby has doing 20k for almost 30 months now. One or two songs aren't giving you that kind of longevity.

We Paid - 5x plat (non single with no radio)
Woah - 5x plat
E Scarred- 3x plat
Sum 2 Prove - 4x plat
1.7 million off 4 songs.
Those weren’t singles though
laugh now cry later was the single but didn’t make the album
Way 2 Sexy was actually pushed as a single. It was the lead single off CLB. Knife Talk got a random music video but was never pushed as a single.

Oh I thought he meant like there was a single for the album like you know how gods plan and nice for what were singles and made the album? Thought he meant like that
He didn’t say that
He said it HELPED
Well, duh. My point isn't that those songs didn't help. It's that you can't link the success of My Turn on the charts to just one or two mega hits like most other albums in the streaming era. There are over a dozen songs off that album that have moved over 1M units in the US. That points to multiple songs being streamed off the album since it's dropped, especially this far out from its release date.

My point exactly. That's 4 songs that weren't mega hits on the charts but kept doing enough damage on streaming over time to keep the album stable on the charts. He's got lots of other songs eligible for 1-2x Platinum certifications that his label hasn't updated yet.

Oh, nah. CLB didn't have any pre-released singles. Way 2 Sexy was pushed as a single the week the album dropped.

But he didn’t say that
You’re arguing with yourself
I never said it didn't stand, though. Did I? All I said was that there are multiple outliers and I listed some of them.

I feel like if drake added laugh now cry later on the album you know the haters in here would of said too lol “half the sales came from LNCL”
Yeah, that's very obvious. His other albums all had mega hit singles and that's what carried them. He's clearly the kind of artist who needs hit singles to keep his catalog afloat and this album will perform a lot worse than his other 3 albums did just off it having 0 mega hit singles.

if you just talkin chart hits yea cause lil baby dont use payola

They would have but I'm glad he didn't. He'll probably do another Care Package-esque release sometime in the future and throw LNCL/Scary Hours 2 + other loosies he's dropped over the last few years on there so they all live in one place.
Post has actually always been a singles driven artist. Even if the singles gave other songs on the project life.
Just Motley Crew didn't work (this was a bad sign) and One Right Now was a year late.

I mean yeah, "hits" are chart hits. It's lots of songs that were never "hits" in the terms of being on the charts or the radio that have moved millions of single units in the US just off recurrent streams. Drake has dozens of songs that have done that. Doesn't make them "hits" in the traditional sense, if you get what I'm saying.

Post's problem is two-fold:
1. For some reason, people moved on from him even before he dropped any new music.
2. The music he returned with was mid and further validated why people shouldn't go back to supporting him.

I don’t think people moved on I just think his music has been less appealing and not as good, quite frankly.
If he dropped another “rockstar” or “I fall apart” that s*** would be going off all over the place.
