    if drake did 300K with an album, that would be a flop too, even if its "more than everyone else"

    its still a flop relative to previous release, which is same w MM&TBS

    People would only call it a flop and meme it because of the way some of the stans act on here. But in reality we all would understand and agree that a debut like that 10+ years in is still better than 99.999% of artists lol. Nobody would actually think it’s a failure unless you have billboard brain

  • the prerelease predictions were really good guesses imo. Kendrick couldve hit that if people liked his album more based on first day.

    Bro these Post projections are better than 99% of the field

    People don’t know what the word flop means

    Didn't he start shipping physicals on the 27th? That's probably why he held as well as he did and even outdid HDD's projections.

    Did he?

    The fact that Drake sold over 500k fw 6 times really sets him in the top top tier with the other two goats (Swift, Adele) of this generation.

    Everyone else is a tier below, no debate.

    Posts previous albums had buzzy or at least growingly buzzy singles, literally had no idea this was even dropping until like last week. Flop totally expected.

    wasn't this the same with the Future album though? that did almost double this Post Malone album

    The words “flop” and “mid” are used so wrong these days

    weekday flopped, Kendrick flopped, post flopped

  • Jun 4, 2022

    Post flopped, Kendrick also did first week but it’s looking good for Kendrick if he can keep this pace.
    Don’t think Post has the advantadge of such a strong core fanbase like Kendrick does to save him though

    Flop - (of a performer or show) be completely unsuccessful; fail totally.

    Future album had buzz as a whole before release, you can get buzz without huge singles

    I said it before and I'll say it again, the 223k that Drake did with DLDT as a surprise mixtape of leaks/demos that y'all clowned will HUMBLE. a lot of y'all and y'all's faves as more time passes and y'all see just how hard it is to hit those numbers in the current music climate. Just wait.

    So far this decade, the only hip-hop albums that have debuted with bigger numbers are:
    Drake — Certified Lover Boy: 613k
    Juice WRLD — Legends Never Die: 497k (bundles)
    Kanye West — Donda: 309k
    Kendrick Lamar — Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers: 295.5k
    Lil Uzi Vert — Eternal Atake: 288k
    J. Cole — The Off-Season: 282k
    Eminem — Music to Be Murdered By: 279k (bundles)
    Pop Smoke — Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon: 251k (bundles)
