    I dont see how more songs = more sales, thats takes more of a persons time

    There’s more songs to choose from, more variety, more tracks to return to.

    Especially when you’re an artist like Drake who has numerous sections of his fanbase.

    Some fans gravitate towards the rap songs, some towards the R&B songs, some towards the track with Bad Bunny, some towards the song with Yeat, etc.

    It’s much harder to have your album streamed repeatedly when it’s shorter. Kendrick is literally making history with this project.

    Go look at the Top 20 highest streamed first weeks ever. It’s not a coincidence that they are all 20+ track albums, with the one exception being Her Loss.

    Again, Drake being the exception shouldn’t be a shock. Overall, he’s the biggest rapper ever. Nobody has ever claimed that he isn’t. He’s just not the biggest rapper right now.

    But what if one album is just more popular than the other

    It's still an upwards battle. And once u get to the most popular artists there's a point of diminishing returns anyway.

    These days that first playthrough everybody will play the full album guaranteed. So that 23-24 track album is gonna double that 12 track album off rip. After that people will play their favorites or add them to playlists but that longer album will still have more tracks to choose from

    Usually those first day streams with more tracks outnumber even if the album is more popular…

    Just look at the FATD vs GNX comparison

    GNX (12 tracks) vs. FATD (23 tracks)
    1st Day (partial day) - 44M Vs. 108M
    2nd Day - 75M Vs. 75M
    3rd Day - 52M Vs. 48M
    4th Day - 56M Vs. 51M
    5th Day - 49M Vs. 46M
    6th Day - 46M Vs. 39M

    23 tracks and first day hype is all the difference you need to outsell by a good margin

    Im not even talking about the numbers. They were disappointing but decent. The album is a came and went type of s*** though. Couple good songs. It was a dud for Kendrick standards

    Using numbers is dumb to compare really though. Anyone can listen to fatd and hear its pure audio dookie

    I have nightmares about that 'shot him in daylight' song or whatever still to this day

    And that 21 savage feature

    Not based off the numbers I’ve seen. Tyler had a bigger first day but less by day 4.

    On Spotify Tyler had more streams after day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…

    I dont see how more songs = more sales, thats takes more of a persons time

    To an extent yeah, but the for fw sales the hardcore fans will listen to all of it no matter what so it is slightly important . Labels know that too thats why culture 2 was so bloated

  • Drake stans said STOP THE COUNT!

    You don’t have to see anything. You can just look at the direct correlation between more songs and more streams that exists

    Prove the correlation

    I’ll just have Billboard do it for me instead

    This is common knowledge btw, like asking me to prove that the sky is blue
