He’s tearing the industry down for malpractice. Y’all can keep trying to paint this as anything other than brave/respectable though. The small artists win here.
Did you see the new lawsuit where he set a terrible precedent for hip hop because Kendrick said mean things about him?
what would throwing not like us on this do to the first week total?
thats how it works right? can be boosted by old single streams
out of interests sake
i cant believe when drake broke streaming records he did 750 million streams first week with Gods Plan -> Scorpion
when kendrick breaks streaming records (allegedly, lawsuit pending), he does 325 mill streams first week Not Like Us -> GNX
what a world we live in
LOOK AT THE MENTAL GYMNASTICS LMAOOOOO

Damn Drizzy got his gambling addiction partnership crafting up line graphs and that's still not even the most embarrassing thing Drake has done this week

Bounce out, know he spook town, eyes dilated! Good album
500-600k no physicals would require over 600million streams (for just 500k)
50 million streams per track in a week (12 songs)
Only like 5 albums ever have done that. 2 Drake albums, 2 Taylor albums, and bad bunny weird enough
Condense the listens across 12 tracks any of those albums none of those hit the numbers you are seeking for 500k. Let alone 600k
I personally project it will hit higher than that 291k projection. Streams holding up. Won’t be surprised if it hits closer to 300k or breaks it.
For reference. Streaming alone. FATD 391,000 units, based on 514.01 million on-demand streams. You expected 100m more streams alone from just 12 tracks??
These people just wanna say “he’s not Drake lol” as if we don’t know. Logic and real stats can’t beat delusions of grandeur.

Again, that isn't aimed at Kendrick. It's aimed at UMG and lists all the illegal things they did to push a song that defamed him. It's more about UMG trying to diminish his value because they were in the middle of contractual discussions so they pushed the button on NLU to get it to deal as much damage to Drake's image and worth so they wouldn't have to pay him what he was worth and about the sabotage they tried to implement on him. That's what this is really about.
They tried to f*** with Drake's money and he not rocking with that.
Drake's "More Life" sells 505K first week (230K Pure)
Kendrick Lamar's "DAMN." sells 610K first week (362K Pure)
cheers
Damn didn’t do merch bundles tho… most I see is a signed CD. Does that count? I’d make an argument it does lol but I don’t think he really sold 100k plus of those lol. Imagine how tired his hand must have been if he did
After research looks like more life didn’t even get a physical release. That’s why it did less IG.
More life released on a Saturday at 6pm pacific time dropping on apple radio, becoming available to stream and purchase after it aired at 7:30 basically missing 2 full tracking days. Physicals for the project were not released until a small batch dropped this year via drake related for its 5 year anniversary
damn also had bundled t shirt/long sleeves available for purchase on release (in a time where physicals did not have to be shipped to count which is a rule that took into effect in late spring/early summer 2020. I know because i purchased one + sat front row at the tour)
proof of some of the bundles that were available on damns release

all this to say first week numbers are nuanced should always be contextualized, not sensationalized
regardless its great to see folks succeed

DAMN was in stores the week it dropped. More Life wasn't. More Life also only had 5 tracking days.
