Views From The 6 title was announced July 2014 and that multi-year buildup and wait helped it have the level of anticipation it ended up having. Was that title announcement not part of the rollout? There were definitely multiple phases for both VIEWS and ICEMAN

notbrock99% chance the album will leak if he does first week physicals
Guys, it’s entirely possible to have physicals nowadays without your album leaking first. Tons of high-profile artists do it

Ehh, I don’t think you can say a separate EP is a rollout for an album that comes out two years later

Wasn’t that like 15 years ago? We are talking about today, it means even less compared to back then, when’s the last time Kendrick mentioned sales at all since then? Genuinely?

Kendrick definitely cares about sales but he doesn’t prioritize them. You don’t plan out a year-long stadium tour without expecting your album to do numbers

I’m talking about that first week number, if he cared that much, NLU would’ve been on GNX and all the physicals would’ve shipped first week
Of course they care about success in general, but after a certain time in your career, other things are probably way more fulfilling than first week sales

It happens sometimes nowadays, but it’s VERY rare. But yeah some people still think we in 2005 lmao

And I think caring about your business makes tons of sense, it’s the fans who use them to belittle other artists that make it weird

Pre-Release. Singles. Sales. Don't. Count. For. Billboard. First. Week. Numbers.
I really don't know how this is still a misconception. Including NLU on GNX would've made it eligible for RIAA certs faster (Platinum, 2x Platinum, etc.) but the only sales from NLU rolled into Billboard 200 first week sales numbers would've been from the release week
