He was way oversaturated for FATD. Dropping an album while currently on a massive tour isn’t a smart idea.

The hype and rollout for this album feels more similar to CLB

That’s what I’m thinking

Which because this thread is pushing 600k so hard

I will be counting 400k as a huge flop and declaring iceman dead on arrival

@iHype what do u think about how the new streaming rules will affect iceman’s numbers?

Stfu

Okay magic Johnson

Sounds reasonable to me. Low-mid 400s would be my guess

Ad-supported streams are 33% less required

Paid streams are 20% less required

But this update was slightly offset by YouTube not counting anymore a few weeks after the streaming boost kicked in

Personally Im seeing a lot of hype for Iceman

8 MORE SLEEPS

Rather slightly underestimate/be realistic about something than overestimate and be underwhelmed when it doesn’t reach it

rule only came into effect the tracking week of Bully iirc. it was that + a harsher look at independent sales direct to consumer… all hurting pre sales done through YZY.com

if you look to the partnership of majors with EVEN you can see how the industry is just looking to delegitimize independent artists and their success as much as possible

Fair, but with CLB we saw the demand and thirst for new Drake music with Scary Hours 2 that same year. None of the music he's dropped within the past year has reached that same kind of commercial frenzy

Which would be great numbers btw lol

extremely bold take

11 tracks, all bangers, 800k first week MINIMUM

That’s cool and all but the signed vinyls were a fluke anyways, my vinyl also came all scratched up, so it was sloppy as s*** regardless, can’t blame everything on the illuminati

Also as I said earlier I don’t expect this album to be 20+ tracks. If it is then I’d update my prediction accordingly

low to mid 400s is FATD numbers… his least hyped solo album

But he has a gazillion IG likes

I laugh at anyone worried about lack of promo, its Drake may 15th everyone stopping what they are doing and listening.

this man is the gta 6 of rap

I think it's gonna be either a short 14-15 or a long 30+, I don't see it being anything in between

😂😂😂

I didn’t say it would be higher than CLB though

If it's 30+ songs, it'll definitely clear 400K with ease

I’m thinking 15-18 personally
