    Kenny just showed Drake who’s on top. That’s what happened.

    Man, shut your b**** ass up. He appeared after 5 years and this album is about to be mad forgettable. He's a HOF rapper and a generational talent but he's NEVER been top dog in this s***.

    You can listen to a 35 minute album twice in the time it would take you to listen to a 70 minute album once...

    Song length has way more impact than how many songs there are

    Disagree
    I think it does have an impact but I think the majority of consumers don’t even put on album on replay

    Long term song length has a big impact but I think short term number of tracks is more of a facotr

    Just so we're clear, from the first page of this thread, I was trying to correct the people who were saying this album was going to do > 500k because I knew the current music climate and where Kendrick stood in that. My projections have been in the 300-400k range for weeks now lol.

    Lets look at CLB as an example.

    Drake had physicals for order first week that were scheduled to ship sometime in October. Then he cancelled the physicals all together a few weeks later. They never counted for sales as they never shipped.

    Say those sales counted towards his first week, then he cancelled the shipments few weeks later. His first week would be bloated with sales that never happened

    I understand this, but then what do they do for refunds?

    Let’s say someone buys a physical copy of a CD in a store or on Amazon, and they don’t like it, return it and get a refund. Those sales still count towards the album even though they ended up returning their purchase, it’s not like Billboard retroactively revokes refunded album sales.

    It’s very rare that an entire vinyl/CD production for an album will get completely canceled, it’s usually just been delays lately because Covid has slowed up production

    I even said too before that I think clb numbers more impressive then scorpion numbers also because clb didn’t have a hit besides laugh now cry later but that didn’t make the album KING S***

    325k is great for Kenny. Just goes to show how far ahead Drake really is from his peers.
